The house is a bit of a dump, we rent and have been here for over 8 years, the guy who owned the place before our landlord was a complete bodge merchant and both the quality and style of decoration is poor, to say the least. Our bedroom used to have dark jade lower walls and dark terracotta upper walls, it was the stuff nightmares are made of.
We have managed over time to sort out a couple of rooms, but most of the house is covered in my arch-nemesis... woodchip. I loathe and detest woodchip with an unholy passion, anyone caught using it should be hung, drawn, quartered, buried in a pit full of fire ants, dug up again, danced on by elephants wearing stillettos and fed to bears, at the very least.
The biggest problem with the foul stuff (other than the fact that it's a bastard to remove) is that it's usually put up by lazy ass types to hide less than perfect walls... so if you do manage to get it off you then have the walls to sort out as well. The other big problem is that it's used a lot by tightwads who then paint it with magnolia emulsion and you end up with a room that looks like someone has gone to town with several gallons of this stuff...
