I bought a house with a massive wall long (think 15 feet long) floor to ceiling mural of a Roman garden and waterfall, lots of painted pillars and old owners initials.
It was truly truly hideous (to my eyes.)
They were surprised we painted over it when we bumped into them the first time. Told me someone 'from London' charged them £4.5k for it!!
To be fair, that transpired to be only one of the very many bonkers things about the house.
They are truly lovely people though (I've got to know them a bit due to them still living nearby.). We just have different ideas on interior design!
