John settled into the guest room, after having spent several years living abroad, and almost immediately began assessing his surroundings. He found his parents' home... *old*.

He started to make suggestions. "The lighting in here is atrocious," he said, peering at the dim lampshade. The next day, he'd be replacing it with a sleek modern design. "I really must have new curtains."
