I looked at a house like that when we were looking on Merritt Island in
'95-96. However, they had wall papered the ceiling in the dining room too.
As I recall, they had added on in such a way that there were no windows
in the dining room either.
The house we did find had obnoxious wall paper also. Which we pulled
off/painted over. It wasn't everywhere. We got a really good price due
to the seller's bad taste. Every surface had to be painted, recarpeted,etc.
That was ok, because the house we were selling had been rebuilt after
Andrew and everything was completely to my taste. We looked at several
houses, with good layouts, where the realtor had instructed the seller
to paint/carpet everything in beige. I would have felt guilty about ripping
out perfectly new beige carpeting. Especially beige on stairs, which this
had. Unless you have a stair cleaning slave, keeping beige stairs clean
is very hard to impossible.
A LOT of people have bad taste. That house might really be liked by
somebody.
And the view with the different wallpapers through the halls and other
rooms was so very grotesque that I kinda liked it. It had a bizarro
forestly kind of feel. Not I am sure, what was intended. The dining
room, as pointed out, is strictly barf city. Wall paper, to me, is really
hard to pick out. It's hard to imagine what it will look like on an entire
wall.
I seldom use wall paper. I do like really gaudy wallpaper on a bathroom
wall, with matching commode, etc.
