Like the title say's.
I inherited my granddad's from my dad's side's head and therefore he's eyes, nose, mouth too. My mum's skin color (maybe a little lighter), hairline, hair (it's very thick but not curly), eyebrows, brown eyes.
My little brother who is 14, 15 in a week inherited my grandpa from my mum's side's head and subsequently he's eyes. nose, mouth etc..., he got the exact same skin color as my mum, straight light brown hair and blue eyes he got from my dad.
My smallest brother got the same head as my mum and the same eyes, nose ,mouth. He has the same very fast metabolism my mum had when she was young, he's very skinny and eats loads of junk food.
From my dad he got the same skin, blue eyes, light blond hair.
What about you?

Skin color, hair texture, eye color, and face shape is my mother's.
Nose, mouth, eye shape, and eyebrows are my father's.
Both parents are short, so height is from both.
Face shape from my father. Light pigmentation from my mother.

I inherited my facial appearance especially the nose and eyebrows from my maternal side, the extended family in her side look Mediterranean, and all have dark hair. Meanwhile my father is blonde and is much taller with hazel eyes.
I got my dad's toe. It is round like a sucker.

Almost everything after my mother, just the built is more man-like, eye-sockets are lower, browridges are a bit more pronounced,teeth are slightly bigger(skull is just a bit bigger overall).I have a different skin tone, that I probably inherited after my maternal grandmother(but the rest of a pigmentation is my mothers').
Hair texture is an intermediate betweeen my father and mother(therefore wavy).
So the case is quite clear ;D

I look simillar to my father (and to his father) in pigmentation and also phenotypically.
And I have relatively small hands, like my mother.

I'm the spitting image of my mom. The only thing I have from my paternal side is my height.

Nose fathers side.
Forhead and hairline fathers side.
Thin upper lip like my mother (could have just as easily come from either side).
Eyes are shaped more like my Grandads, dad's a little more "borealized".
My mother always said my eyebrows looks like my uncle her side.
Cheekbones fathers side.
Skin color, Height, Hair & Eye color could have just as much came from either. Both are North euro stock. My ability to eat everything and not get fat could have come from my mothers side. Males on her side never get fat lol.
Jawline and mouth after my father, the same with body & basic head proportions. Eyes (shape and colour), hair colour and maybe nose (partially) and cheekbones also. The rest - hard to judge; when I was younger I looked more like my father at my age - now bit closer to even (in my opinion).

I have my dad's head shape and eye color, but more of my mother's nose and eye shape. My beard grows very fast and thick, and with an auburn coloration like my old man's...personality wise, I think I lean more towards my mother's side.

Nothing from the paternal line, except for small eyes, the rest is all from the maternal side. Like small height and brown skin. I think my eyebrows come from my paternal grandfather.

Father side:
Looks, calm demeanor and generally quiet demeanor, "youthful" appearance
Mother side:
Head shape, pigmentation
Hair, eyes, height probably a combination of both.

I inherited my facial features, skin tone and body slimness from my dad. I also look a bit like my paternal grandma when she was young, as I've been told and shown.
Demeanor and mannerisms are more like my mother's. My father's side are fiery and loud, unlike my mother's family who are much more serene. :shakefist

Combination of both: Hair (Straight hair from my father, color from both, since my fathers hair color is black and my moms brown), height (on both sides they are rather tall, even those from my tosk family from mothers side), eye color (my mom has light hazel, much lighter than mine, and my father some sort of dark blue/grey, I got the color of my mom, but the darkness of my father), looks (don't look more like my mom or my dad, I have an equal mix of their features)
Mom: receding hairline, hairiness (lol, not that my mom's hairy, but my uncles are), personality
Dad: body (all my male family members were skinny when they were young), the way I walk (everybody says that I walk the same way as my father), skull shape, nose
Undefined: skin pigmentation (I am woggier than my parents and also than my siblings)

As far as looks go I would estimate it to be 65-35 with my father having contributed more, I resemble him quite a lot. He is robust Borreby with dark brown hair and pinkish skin while I'm a gracilized version of him with lighter hair and pale skin.
My personality is a wild mix of both maternal grandmother and paternal grandfather. My grandmother is arrogant, racist, elitist and generally feels superior to most people. She only likes her friends and (some) family members, while my grandfather is very liked and has this weird boyish charm. Often women think I'm hitting on them when I'm making all kinds of witty, childish remarks to lighten the mood and pass time like grandpa always does. He is also very polite.
Ladies who barely know me tend to get confused when I open a door for them, wink, and say at the same time "Your makeup could be better today". My conflicting personality makes me some kind of a gallant dickhead.
