s/o Childhood bedroom post

I'm always kind of amazed when people still have their childhood bedroom to go back to. A friend of mine had to have the contents of her room shipped to her in another province last year when her parents downsized. I couldn't believe she hadn't done this years before.

How many of you still have a little "shrine" of sorts waiting for you when you visit the parents?

A: My youngest sister had taken over my old bedroom a mere 5 hours after I moved out.

My DH still has a shrine waiting for him at his parents house complete with old posters taped to the walls.

    I still have a bunch of stuff in a closet, but my parents redecorated my room during my first year of university.  My youngest sister's is the same as when she lived there. 
  • I never had any big items that were left at my parents house but I did have a few little things that were in the closet in their spare room (school stuff, things from when I was a baby, etc). My mom recently cleaned out her closet and gave me all of my stuff which I ended up tossing.

  • No childhood bedroom for me. Hard to say I even had one *while* I was a child, because we moved so frequently. My Mom and Stepdad retired while I was in grad school and moved to another town, so the house they're in is somewhere I've never actually lived.

    That said, they do have lots of my books from university (which annoys them, but they've got waaay more storage space than do we!), and Jakob's currently playing with some of *my* childhood toys!

  • No shrine for me... my mom lives with us in and in-law suite!!

    P.S. Jenna I sent you a Facebook message, check it out!!

  • Nope - cleared out my room when I moved out after university...even took the furniture LOL

     

  • My old room stayed the same for about 1.5 years after I was married.

    Then my brother asked if he could have my room (it was way bigger and I had reno'd it a few years before). So he moved all my crap into his room and his stuff into mine.

    So when I do stay at my mom's, I stay in my brother's room with all my stuff in it. It's kind of weird!

  • I have some books leftover and a couple of figurines.  Otherwise I took it all with me when we got our condo.
  • I feel like I have to justify myself now, lol. There is somewhat of a shrine going on in my parents house, but I did not want to move all my knick knacks from childhood when I moved for university. Since then, when I've been home I've been cleaning it out little by little. My parents haven't "tossed things" because my Mom still remembers how hurt she was when her Mom threw out all of her stuff!!! I did take some posters down over the last couple days, but 2 walls are a bit more difficult, because I actually painted them with murals! My parents are planning on downsizing now that my brother has moved up and the dog died earlier this spring, so it is more urgent for me to clean out my stuff!
