The bricks on the fireplace were... brown. The thingbobber that hides the curtain rod was... brown. The ceiling was... beige. This we have discovered already.

Our hallway is now full of it; it was never taken out and the carpet was right over top of it. It is brown and a colour that can only be described as "urine yellow." The walls in the hallway (if not the kitchen as well) were orange.

I recently read somewhere about an "ugliest sofa" contest. It's sponsered by a slip cover company. The link below explains the contest, and has a link to a gallery with all the previous winners. Maybe you can find a contest for your house, maybe.

On another note, my mother once lived in a house decorated by a man who could not see colour at all. Think pink cabinets, orange plaid couch, red carpet, and don't forget the brown walls. I think that the man decorated it like that because he liked how the patterns looked together. I don't know about an explanation for brown/yellow linoleum, though. . .
