A Tour of My Y2K & 2000s Time Capsule Bedroom

[@bellastrange7477]

I am still devasted over my parents selling my childhood home a few years ago and throwing a bunch of sentimental things away without asking me. I miss my lavendar walls with all my posters and my barbie and beanie baby collections...

[@SifuGiggles-..]

Did you have any rare beanie babies?

[@C.K.Productions]

Oh man, I just moved away from my childhood home. I had this really cute light switch cover, it was Winnie the Pooh themed. I deadass unscrewed it and took it with me. I miss our little old house so much. Recently I went back just to see how they staged it and stuff, and it was such a strange experience. Everything was familiar. The sound of the breeze, the barking of the dogs, the sound of the streets… it made me tear up.

[@arareanddifferenttune3130]

Omg I always wanted lavender or periwinkle walls!

[@ChloeLukich]

I feel your pain. Same thing happened to me. And I also had lavender walls! I’ll NEVER do that to my daughter.

[@misfitbrit1989]

My mom would NEVER...I used to collect a lot of Disney stuff and 95% of it was Lion King themed. Stuffed animals, books, picture, the music books so I could play on the piano and sing. My mom always told me to hang onto them because they would be worth money someday. Selling those items is the only thing that's keeping me financially afloat and from getting a second job. And a lot of that money is going as a downpayment on my first house 😊 It hurts like hell to have to sell them and say goodbye to the things that brought me comfort as a kid. Wherever they end up, I hope they make someone as happy as they made me. Our childhood house was foreclosed on during the last recession but I miss my pink walls. The sound of the tree frogs at night from the woods behind the house. The sound of one dog barking that started the morning chorus of dog barks. Even my old swingset and treehouse. God I miss that...

[@chelsea-t]

I've moved so many times in my life, growing up and as an adult so I've always been envious of people who have a home to go back to, and a time capsule room...a dream!!! Polly pockets!!! Class of 05!

[@badbeachindustry1615]

My mother hated hoarding, would constantly throw out sentimental stuff all the time. I also ran away so much+ was also homeless alot. I could never have a time capsule of anything for these reasons, would've been so nice tho

[@Blehhh3000]

Yes!! Constantly moving homes and schools and my mom would make me get rid of stuff at least twice a year. I literally have like 5 things from childhood 😭

[@misfitbrit1989]

@@badbeachindustry1615 our childhood home was foreclosed on during the last recession. Sometimes I'll make that 2 hour drive just to drive past it with the windows open to hear things like the tree frogs or a lone barking dog to remember the things that made me so happy. Then take my dog to the dog park where I used to go do homework in if it was nice outside. I am so sorry you know what it's like yo be homeless. I was there for only 6 months last year due to DV. It was hell. I hope you never ever relive homelessness again.

[@lindanichole290]

Same! I moved 6 times in one year about 3 years ago. I lost so so so much in that year. My only family in my area (my grandmother) wouldn’t let me keep anything that was very important at her house while I moved.

Same. I went to a new home and high school every year. When we moved AGAIN three months before graduation, I kept everything in boxes because I didn't see the point in unpacking. It made my mom so upset that I didn't want to "settle in" to or new "home" but she didn't yet know I was planning on moving into a dorm at the University coke August.

That is so cool. When I joined the army out of high school my dad didn't hesitate to sell all my stuff at a garage sale without telling me. I never saw any of the money made off all my bedroom stuff either. Thats so neat your room is still there.

[@SD-ne3qt]

It seems like a small thing, but I think it is a sign we did not grow up in a very healthy family. My family dynamic growing up was definitely... disordered and my mom immediately cleared out my room and changed everything about it the moment I moved out. I think even well into adulthood, there is just something grounding about the familiarity and stability you feel coming home to a place like this. Emotionally mature parents are more likely to realize that, I think.

[@smakkdat]

@@SD-ne3qt are you serious? Haha, I don’t know one person who has a time capsule room back home like this chick “supposedly” has or that is shown a lot in movies… what college age girl leaves a Dooney and Burke handbag behind? Or their bathing suits or all their toiletries/perfumes? She didn’t need those things when she moved out? Bet you anything this is 90% staged, she makes a living off this Y2K flashback type videos after all. Parents repurposing your childhood bedroom when you move out is not a sign of an unhealthy upbringing… come on geeze

I had a similar TV on the bottom the more modern one your talking about. With a built in DVD player. I miss my DVD player sometimes. I've just asked dad about possibly getting me a DVD player so maybe we'll see. Before streaming I'd wacth that TV so much.

[@Little_Sidhe]

I live in Scotland but I swear the trends were exactly the same. The exclamation perfume really sent me back. I remember I used to love getting the latest magazine and I'd get excited to go home and read it depending on what was on the front cover. Happy and simple times.

[@BrandiD05]

Holy moly, I had that BSB magazine. As a middle schooler, I was obsessed with Nick Carter and BSB. I can't stand listening to any of their music because I try to block those middle school days out of my mind...**shivers** lol! Not a good era in my life...

[@cc7215]

Aw I love the idea of being able to look back on your old bedroom, I can remember exactly what mine looked like but we moved so it’s gone. This just gave me an idea when I have kids in the future I’ll take pictures of their nursery’s/bedrooms so they can look back on it later! lol

[@SeasonswithSummer]

The mention of a Kathy Van Zealand took me all the way back! I had one of those purses and I loved it back in the day! Wow🤣❤️

[@alicemarshall0823]

I remember when I moved out on my own I was moving into a studio apartment and didn't have enough space to hold everything I owned so I asked my mom if she would keep my room undisturbed or even just box everything up and leave it in storage and she completely refused, she made me throw everything from my childhood that I loved with all my heart and charised most in this world and throw it all in the literal dump, my uncle picked up trash from friends he knew who lived to far out of town to get the city/town garbage men to come pick up there trash once a week, so my mom made me throw everything of mine that I wasn't able to take with me when I moved and throw it in his truck and he drove me to the actual dump and I had to toss it all away.....I had never been more pissed off at my mother, I flat out refused to speak to her for years after that and then unfortunately she died and I never got the chance to see her again before she passed. So I'm conflicted in my feelings about her death...like in one hand she was my mom and raised me and loved me in her own fucked up way....but at the same time....I can never get some of the things she made me get rid of back, some things were one of a kind collectables that I had collected and saved since I was a toddler. All my books and movies that I loved that I spend over 20 years collecting, everything is just gone

[@funsizedi88]

I am so happy that you have this opportunity to see your old room. My parents moved us states and then divorce we 2 yrs later, so until I met my husband in 2015, It had been 10 yrs since I'd lived anywhere for more than 1 yr. This is so nostalgic! Class of 2006!

Hi Jenna Barclay. You seem to have a nice taste when it comes to room aesthetics. They say that a room’s overall aesthetic matches the owner’s personality and mindset. It really seems like you’re a creative and fun individual who’s keen on expanding her boundaries. Wishing you all the best.

[@SD-ne3qt]

My mom couldn't wait to completely clear out my room and use it for her own personal reasons when I moved out. If I ever have kids, I will keep their rooms the same after they move out for as long as I possibly can. I always would want them to feel like they are truly home when they visit.

[@lordakira5977]

Literally same it makes me so sad 😢

[@clapbangrun2200]

When the time comes you probably won’t. It’s an empty room that you have to keep tidy and since most adult have their own life, even when they come to visit chances are they wont enter the room at all. Maybe once in a blue moon for feels. I would never want or expect my mom to do it. Or even hold on to my stuff. I want her to enjoy life, travel, move and be free to do whatever she fancies.

Or how ice cream trucks were still kinda a thing. VHS was how we watched all our movies, I had a CD player that I broke, and I thought DVD’s were this weird new thing. Adults back then were so mean too. My sister, our friend, and I would run around the neighborhood, on our own, and got yelled at so much by random old ladies…. I feel like that wouldn’t pass now.
