Lorelai Gilmore Bedroom

For seven seasons,Gilmore Girls fans have gotten to know the ins and outs of Lorelai and Rory Gilmore's home. The ladies have spent many movie nights in that living room, late-night conversations in their bedrooms, and plenty of cups of coffee shared in the kitchen. But the more fans rewatch the series, the more they question the Gilmore home.

From the sheer size of the home to the number of bedrooms, Lorelai and Rory's home isn't your typical house. In fact, it's more of a funhouse when viewers point out all of its oddities.

8 Why Does A House Of That Size Only Have Two Bedrooms?

Starting with the biggest question surrounding the Gilmore home: how does a house of that size only have two bedrooms? By looking at the front of the house, it looks like there's plenty of room upstairs for more than one bedroom and a bathroom. A second bedroom could have easily been added to the upstairs layout. As for Rory's bedroom, well, that's an entirely separate subject.

7 Why On Earth Is Rory's Bedroom Attached To The Kitchen?

As aforementioned, with an upstairs that's large enough to fit two bedrooms, why was Rory's bedroom downstairs, attached to the kitchen, no less! Rory's bedroom could have been a dining room originally that the girls transformed into a bedroom for some privacy.

But it's still strange to have a bedroom that's attached to the kitchen. It's also odd that Lorelai was okay with her daughter sleeping downstairs. The two are so incredibly close, it seems a tad dangerous to have your daughter on the main floor away from the master.

6 How Was Lorelai Able To Afford A Home Of That Size In Connecticut?

Lorelai bought her house in 1995 after working at the Independence Inn since she was a teenager. It's assumed that Lorelai had a trust fund from her grandmother, which kicked in when she was 25 (like Rory). Without a trust fund, it seems far-fetch that Lorelai was able to afford the down payment of a house this size in Connecticut. Homes in New England can become quite expensive, and for a single mother who wasn't gaining child support from Christopher, it seems unlikely that she was able to buy such a home.

5 Why Was There A Need To Expand?

When Lorelai and Luke get engaged, they decide to remain in Lorelai's home because she was so attached to it. To start fresh, Luke did some renovations to the home to expand and update it. However, if it was just them two, why did they need to expand the upstairs?

After all the work that Luke and his team did, Lorelai's home went from a two-bedroom to a two-bedroom. It seemed nonsensical to spend that amount of money when all they did was make Lorelai's bedroom bigger.

4 Where Is The Downstairs Bathroom Again?

It's been said that Lorelai's home is a two-bedroom, two-bathroom home. But fans can't help but question the bathroom aspect. If there's a bathroom in Lorelai's and Rory's bedroom, does this mean any time a guest needs to use the restroom, they have to go through one of their bedrooms? Likewise, when Paris showed up at Rory's to get ready for her date with Tristan, she used the bathroom in the hallway. In later episodes where Rory's bedroom is shown more, there's no door to enter a bathroom. So, where are the bathrooms?

3 How Does The Kitchen Door Lead To The Front Yard?

Lorelai and Rory spend a ton of time in the kitchen sipping coffee and snacking on food. Close friends like Lane, Dean, and Luke tend to enter their home from the kitchen because it's not so formal. The odd thing about the kitchen door is that it should lead to the side of the Gilmore porch. But when the camera follows the characters onto the porch, they're magically in front of the house. Where is the side of the house?

2 What's Up With The Laundry Machines?

The topic of laundry has been brought up numerous times onGilmore Girls. Lorelai ran out of clean clothes on Rory's first day of Chilton, and Rory has come home from Yale specifically to do laundry. But after years of watching these women in their house, fans have never seen them physically do laundry at home. Where are the washer and dryer anyway? It's said that the washer and dryer are on the porch but how do they run in the Connecticut winter? Not to mention fans have never seen a washer or dryer on the porch.

1 Where Is Lorelai's House?

Stars Hollow is a unique town that seems straightforward as far as the layout is concerned. The gazebo and town square is at the center of it all. The high school is right across the street from the town square, as is Luke's Diner. Lorelai and Rory typically walk from their home to Luke's for coffee, because it's just a ten-or-so-minute walk away. The odd thing is that whenever Lorelai and Rory's house is shown, it seems to be tucked away in the woods. Babette is right next door and they used to have that odd neighbor who begged Lorelai to water his lawn. Considering their home is in the woods, it's hard to try and pinpoint where it's actually located in town.
