It's gone now, but we had one wall that was the faux wood paneling in the kitchen and one in the family room. We got rid of them. We also have this funky built in that sits in an indent in the family room. It's big, it's ugly, but it fills a space (it's weird indent in the back of the room.

We've got some fun ones.
We used to have what I dubbed "The Crayola Bathrooms." One was all dark royal blue (tub, sink, floor, toilet). One was pink - toilet & sink were magenta, tub light pink, floor in here is aqua-teal with magenta and pink flecks - really. Half bath was forest green toilet and sink. We have since changed out ALL the toilets and sinks to nice, boring white.
We also have candelabra light fixtures throughout the house. If I were to count quickly, I'd have to say we still have 8, we have probably changed out 7 or so.
We also have weird transom windows that overlook the family room from a room on the 2nd floor (DD2's room - lovely), the guest room and from the finished man-room in the attic. So we had to put sound proofing and some kind of cover over DD2's so that she wouldn't be listening to us watch tv all the time!
By far the creepiest thing is the HUGE painting of DH's grandparents he & SIL had done for them about 25yrs ago - it's a knock off of American Gothic with their faces in it. Probably 3'x4'? It's GIANT, they are life-sized and I can't stand it!! Best part - they are Canadian.

It actually reminds me of those bins you are supposed to throw your tampons in in public restrooms. Sorry if that's TMI Penny's Pappa!DD

We saw a house that had a little door like that and it was a place for the gentlemen in the house to throw his old razor blades....your bathroom looks a little too modern for that though. Originally Posted by Penny's Pappa

We moved to a 4-year-old house last May that my in-laws bought. I donated everything I didn't want from my grad school days beforehand, so I'm pretty satisfied with my own stuff.
In-laws still live out of town, but have had long visits since their purchase. I say the things my MIL bring from her house are cramping my style! like the brocade toilet paper holder hanging on the half bathroom door, or the framed barnyard picture hanging by the stairway landing.
