It feels just like home when she returns and I\u2019m pretty sure she likes all that stuff just the way she left it. I.e., posters covering the walls, a basketball hoop on the back side of her door, pictures of friends taped to the walls, two bulletin boards covered with pictures of her friends and homecoming\/prom memorbilia. Her large desk with lots of shelving above was completely decorated with tons of memorabilia and whatnot from all of her HS years.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = \"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office\" \/><o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\"><span style=\"FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS'\">Now that Lauren arrived (3 weeks ago), her desire was to \u2018Take Over\u2019 Kristy\u2019s room as she likes that room the best. However, Lauren did not go for Kristy\u2019s decorating style. Lauren brought many things from home so that she could decorate her room\/walls while she was here. Lauren \u2018took over\u2019 Kristy\u2019s room right before Kristy arrived but Bobby and I neither one felt it appropriate for Lauren to just make it hers especially since Kristy was coming back home for a week. So, right before Kristy\u2019s arrival, we had Lauren clean all of her things out of Kristy\u2019s room, vacuum and dust it out and leave it the same way it was when she arrived. And Lauren took over a different guest room. Kristy came home to find her room intact and felt \u2018just like home\u2019 I\u2019m sure.<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\"><span style=\"FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS'\">Kristy left a week ago Sunday and we somewhat prepped her that we would be boxing all of her things up and packing those things away. I believe that was in order as Lauren wanted that room over the summer and there is not a chance that Kristy will be back here to ever spend full summers again. I&#8217;m even happy that Lauren wants that room so that I don&#8217;t have to redecorate my guest room after Lauren leaves.<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\"><span style=\"FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS'\">Bobby promised Lauren (a week ago Sunday) that he would help her clean Kristy\u2019s things out and that is exactly what we all did over the weekend. Now Lauren has her room all set up with not a trace of anything Kristy in there. What a change in there as those two are completely opposite. Now Lauren finally feels &#8216;At Home&#8217;.<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA\">No pictures to follow with the before and after makeovers.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We have left Kristy\u2019s room alone leaving her things just the way she left them when she went off to college two years ago.
