I love Quentin's room! It was so bright, colorful and elegant. It's hard to believe that it's the same room that appeared in 1969. Quentin's room in 1969 was dark and dingy.
The tried and true MO that they used with the Old House. Dark and dingy would be an understatement for how the Old House looked when we first saw it.
Then we saw how bright, colorful and elegant it originally appeared. And it stayed that way throughout the rest of the series - the same as Quentin's room will.
(I wonder if Barnabas lent Willie out to restore Quentin's room or if Willie took it upon himself as something to keep him busy while Barn was in 1970PT? Somehow I just can't picture Quentin having done it himself.
Yet another topic for fanfic that might even explain how Willie was able to transform the Old House seemingly overnight.
