It looks very scary.

"Unique one of a kind finishing completed by a professional!"

finished by a professional what?!?. I agree with not making fun of people's homes (although some listing photos appear to be taken by someone who is camera challenged) but this is just scary....

I now feel sick.

This is the contractor to avoid having a replica.

Yes Pink! I was thinking mentally ill or stoned/drunk? That's just so bad, I cannot imagine having to fix that shite! And can you imagine all the structural issues and building code violations a house like this has! The price is crazy too because wasn't it in Arkansas? Sheesh! I feel so sorry for the house! HA! You would have to gut the house and start all over!

ETA: for some reason I thought I saw Arkansas...I guess homes are pricier in CT!

Deranged.

Check the price history. It was up for sale several times in 2015. Someone was truly delusional. It looks like sacrifices were performed there....it needs LOTS of sage.

"What has been seen cannot be unseen"

I wonder what the neighbors have been thinking? My first impression was that of creativity crossing the line into mental illness. Has anyone looked at the listing prices? All over the place over the last couple years-up a million, down a million. If those walls could talk, what a story they would tell. O wait, they ARE talking....

I tried a number of times to copy the price history, but I get a notice the post is too long. I'll try separately.

Edited to add: well it took so long I see blubird already posted about it!

Wow, that price history says it all. I thought I'd seen it all, and now I'm speechless.

OMG! And to think most realtors worry about a few family photographs on tables. A fire is the only answer.

I hope lot value is $339,500.

And I bet that somewhere, the seller is posting on a forum about how bad the realtors are that are telling them they are overpriced and need to do some painting/remodeling to sell it.

After looking at all the pictures, and seeing that this is an art project demonstration, I'm wondering what the little hanging objects are, or are covering, at the doors by the light switches???

I'm both horrified and yet amazed at the incredible amount of work it took to do that. I mean, even the grand piano got it! I think I recognize the fabric they used on the spindles. I'm also bowled over with the amount of work it would take to undo it all. Yikes!

Someone posted this on the conversations side. I still don't have any words. Except maybe to gag.

I hope the neighbors don't keep goats or chickens...

Someone please take away their jigsaw. They even did the exterior trim.

I can't even process what is going on there...

This is what nightmares are made of :o Hope I don't have one tonight!

It's a bit schizophrenic, isn't it. I could never figure out what I was looking at. What a disaster of a house.

I think I need to go lay down now! What the heck! What is with the dangling boob lights with the bra painted on the ceiling! And there are faces staring at you in the toilet! I was expecting to see dead bodies and de headed chickens! Some one needs to send a priest over there ASAP.

I feel so sorry for the person that was sent there to photograph all of that. I bet they had a big bar bill after that. I would refuse to go inside.

My first thought was that this house was decorated by an artsy person. But then I decided it is a bitter divorce, and she has money of her own. He does not. They must split the proceeds from the sale of the house, and she decorated it special just for the sale a la First Wives Club. Remember when the wife sold the red Corvette for $1.00 or less?

Can you imagine trying to sell your home with this property next door?

My suspicion is that it could be a money scam involving gov't grants or private donations.

Receive a generous sum, bring in a semi-insane "artist" for pennies, present the result as an ethnic "art" project and pocket the rest of the $$$. Perhaps, it involved visas for a few "artists" (relatives, close friends or whatever) from Eastern Europe, too.

Now, the funds have dried up, and the organization leaders are trying to unload the house to raise some cash.

This kind of decor would never be considered an "art" in my home country.

If you poke around the linked website, there is a new project in the works & donations are being solicited...

I like Shielajoyce's comment about it being a bitter divorce project...imagine! My first thought and 2nd and third was.....Wow, somebody had to much time on their hands, then I decided that the upset housewife, must have filled her pastry bag with practice frosting mix then spray painted it just to make it fun. BIZZAR..... Unreal, but definitely a "believe it of not" kind of place.

Stevie Nicks' evil twin does a mashup with Morticia Addams evil twin.

That video uses words like artisan and exquisite. About that house?! They truly think this? How?????? I got overwhelmed watching the video, thinking, because I always go through this exercise, I could never undo what they've done? It's not possible. That house causes me great anxiety.

..maybe every time they wanted to talk-they went to beautify the house instead:) To see how the silence sounds..:)

I looked around the area on google street view, it's a nice neighborhood.

After reading his poetry attached to each room I am no longer confused for it all makes such sense, lol .http://nebula.wsimg.com/54c3bf3a28c87bc13bb45bb326b21e88?AccessKeyId=D805D8BDDABF3F976511&disposition=0&alloworigin=1

Noticed the name of the company is Fermata which means " stop" in Italian. A subliminal cry for help? Or perhaps a warning!

It made the local news in CT today. http://m.ctpost.com/technology/businessinsider/article/Nobody-wants-to-buy-this-creepy-Connecticut-house-9977777.php

WOW..

Is this a face? Under the black arrow.

So there is apparently a poem dedicated to each room? Wonder if they're of the same caliber as the 'art'? Curiosity piqued....

This is the most bizarre home I've ever seen. I have no words ... just ... No. Words.

Wow! At that price history!! Just wow! Not surprised, though.

Ellie yes it is a face . There are faces all over the place including in the bathroom on the wall staring at you . And their hook toilet paper holder is put on the wrong direction , no way to keep the paper on but hey they may enjoy constantly toilet papering the bathroom . I showed this to my husband . He was totally baffled too.

Someone is mentally ill and sadly someone is enabling them rather than encouraging them to get help. Do you notice that even if you attempt to evaluate it as decor, it is oppressive? I truly believe the person who did this is suffering.

It's a Russian "artist" - so there you go...

Looks like a brand new toilet. The mind races at what the previous one may have looked like.

I have absolutely no words. None.

Oh my! I wonder if you could sandblast the entire interior ...

Usually I have vision beyond bad decor, clutter, etc...but really, this time I have nothing.

It almost looks like computer images have been superimposed on most of the listing photos.
