A woman’s teenage bedroom was left frozen in time since the 1980s – complete with Miami Vice and Bon Jovi posters.
Nicole Chalawich, 52, and her sister Jessica, 49, rediscovered the room after Jessica inherited her childhood home from her aunt last month.
The half-sisters grew up not knowing the other one existed and only connected a year ago after an DNA test brought them together.
Jessica’s grandma had left the room untouched since 1989 for sentimental reasons before becoming too old to change it.
Video shows the overload of 80’s paraphernalia plastered around the room with posters of Miami Vice, Jon Bon Jovi and Johnny Depp in his 21 Jump Street era.
Nicole, a dental assistant from Waterford, Michigan, said: “It was so brilliant to unlock this total time capsule from the 80’s.
“Jessica would have moved out of this room when she was 15, meaning it was 1989 when it was last lived in.
“Her grandma lived there afterwards and wanted to keep the room the same for her own memories of living with Jessica.
“Then she became elderly and the room, being upstairs, never really got visited anymore so it just stayed the same way until now.”
Jessica, who hadn’t been back for nearly a decade, said: “I knew it was left the same all these years.
“As soon as I got the keys and was looking through the house, I thought Nicole would enjoy the room so I invited her over.”
Nicole was delighted to get a glimpse into her sister’s teenage years.
And despite not growing up together, she was amazed to discover that they shared similar taste in music and even had the same posters.
Nicole said: “Jessica and I had the same Def Leppard and Prince posters when we were teens so it was great seeing that.
“She also had her Cabbage Patch doll sat there, complete with its adoption papers written out in full.
“Jessica definitely got more into harder rock and was allowed to have Anthrax posters up, whereas I had more of a Ralph Macchio thing going on.
“And we clearly both loved Johnny Depp. We even found a letter she wrote to him when she was 14!”
