The seller had "rehabbed" an old house with the intention of flipping it quickly, but if good taste could be rated on a 0 to 10 scale, his was about -20. He apparently selected wallpaper and fixtures from a display like this (other than the sink) and filled the house with it. Not surprisingly, it didn't sell for a long time and I was able to buy it for cheap. This looks like the design inspiration for the first house I bought back in the previous century.
