I grew up in a house built in 1955 before houses got huge. A pretty standard 3 / 2.5 colonial. As the youngest, I had the smallest of the 3 bedrooms. When I graduated from college and launched, my bedroom was converted into a study with a back-destroying small sofa bed. My sister's bedroom remained in a time warp for 20 years with the same furniture as the guest bedroom.
I recall rolling in at 1 AM one Saturday night as an early 20-something after a few too many at the local bar and waking up the next morning after sleeping on that small sofa. Autopilot put me into my old bedroom instead of my sister's bedroom.
My parents turned my bedroom into a shrine to my wonderfulness! Bwahaha! Actually, since I grew up in a row house, I remember that they did nothing special with either of the two bedrooms that were "left over" when my sister, brother and I moved out. They only needed the master bedroom for themselves, so they basically just closed off the other two bedrooms and occasionally dusted them until they moved to a smaller, one-level house.
My father set up a model train. He built it on a platform where the train went around the whole room with him standing in an opening in the middle. It was quite a large set up. Multiple trains and tracks, landscaping, buildings, bridges, and even the walls of the room had scenery painted on them.
When my father passed, my sister stored them at her house for almost 30 years. I just recently got them from her because I now have a grandson to pass them down to. Hopefully, when he gets older, he'll like trains because I've got a ton!
Nothing. It became available for guests. As did my brother's room when he left. That one was probably never slept in again.
