Just peruse the photos, and I am sure you will understand why I call this The Kentucky Bungalow and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Walls. I like color, but perhaps this four-bedroom, 1.5-bath home could use some toning down. What are your thoughts?

Imagine if you came home drunk. I like it, but it does limit design options

The paint isn’t so bad, but that wallpaper is….busy. And the “mushrooms”? Being an amateur mycologist and professional forager, at first I thought it was awesome, until I got a closer look.

Exotic dancing pizza in the dining room is a bit much. I could deal with most of the kitchen, I like the tiny tile look.
