Whatever happened to Home Sweet Home?

I'm trying desperately to make this new room I have at my parents' place feel like home. My brother stole my room. So I'm stuck with the small room with a small closet stuffed with his stuff.

Yesterday I spent an hour or two just sitting in my new room crying because I hate it so much. My dad and mom have been helping me with it though. We've removed most of the spiders. We also took out all of the stuff in the room that wasn't mine. This includes large piles of bedding, an oversized ugly yellow chair, an extra lamp, and most of the stuff my brother was storing in the closet. With this new smaller room my mom can't use it for storage when I'm home. She can use my brother's new room (henceforth the green room). The green room is much larger and since the only things in there are a few pieces of my brother's furniture, there's no reason she can't.

Anyways, my dad repaired the broken closet doors, located one of the bars for the closet so I can hang things, fixed the overhead lamp, and generally did what my mom asked of him. My mom and I went down to my apartment and got a bunch of my stuff today. A whole minivan worth. That means I have almost everything from my apartment except my furniture and a box of kitchen stuff. This new blue room doesn't have room for any of my furniture anyways. Today I think I will try to get my clothes hung up and maybe some books put away on the bookshelf. There's a nice small bookshelf here that will hold maybe a quarter of my books. I might colonize the completely empty large bookshelf outside the door of my bedroom though.

On a completely unrelated note, the open boxes of pasta that I recommended not be packed up should NOT have been packed. I did boil a small colony of little crawly worm like things in my first attempt to make dinner though. Resulting in my mom taking one look at the box and throwing my pasta away and helping me make some new stuff. We dumped out all of the remaining pasta into a large glass bowl to check the boxes for bugs too. And that was the excitement for today.
