Switching rooms?

Mom did paint and recarpet it, and moved all my old high school mementoes into the new room, so at least it didn't feel like I was being shoved into my sister's space.

Perfect.

The kid who lives there gets the best room.

The college kid isn’t treated like an afterthought.

Otherwise you are confirming any thoughts your kid has that she is second rate.

Yes. Also, add the biggest bed that makes sense in the room. When DH and I visit my parents, we always feel squashed in my childhood bed. My mom loves the bed frame, which is why we are stuck with it.
