I see. I have had that experience with promos spoiling me for something significant before.
Precisely!
And I usually am fine with previews and descriptions and, hell, spoilers. But this one soured me. Apparently SPN is not the show for me to do anything but go in blind. Sadly, I love Dean and Sam and the car and so I avoid the information.
That trailer made me very very happy.
I too thought pull-ups meant toddlers. So glad I was wrong.
Has anyone properly mapped out Bobby's house? How much have we seen? Library (with ad hoc bed), kitchen, panic room, what?
I think the S4 episode where they were facing the ghosts (Hendrickson, Ronald, Real!Meg) had a lot of shots of the house and surrounds. I remember checking that ep in particular when I needed details for a story.
The upstairs hall had a bunch of doors, so at least three or more bedrooms, with a closet and a bathroom.
It seems laid differently in the zombie ep, too. I'd never seen the dining table before, unless that room was always the dining room (with the pocket doors to the kitchen) and Bobby just didn't have the table there.
So many stories have the boys sleeping in the living room. I just don't get it. I'm okay with them sharing a bedroom, for the narrative convenience of it, but the most practical assumption I figure is that there's a master and a guest up there, and that Bobby doesn't use the master when his legs aren't working. So they wouldn't be bunking downstairs unless it's a Weechester story.
A house that size and age would have at least three bedrooms, if not four.
I've written current-set fic with them sleeping upstairs. I handwave the sleeping on the floor thing as the meta of not wanting to build more sets.

Have they shown it, though? I don't remember it being canon. And there's no fanon excuse.
I can buy that one room might be taken up with storage, if they need to bunk together. There's no real reason a single man would need to maintain more than two bedrooms.
Have they shown it, though?
Yeah, in the episode where Cas tells Dean to show him some respect. Sam's on the couch, Dean's on the floor, Dean talks to Cas in the dream!kitchen and gets the big smackdown, and the boys are adorably sock-feeted.
