We once purchased an old Italian style house. The owner was very strange to say the least. She didn’t believe in air conditioning. Said she preferred the natural humid Florida summer weather. In the living room was a huge very ugly dresser that she had covered in fabric and beads. There were 3 huge mirrors on the back side.

    We told a white lie and said that we like it too. At the closing table she told us that the dresser and mirrors was ours, since we liked it so much.  When we moved it to the curb there was a surprise for us. She had wall papered the walls around the dresser & mirror and not behind it! And behind the wall paper was a 6″ hole in the Italian plastered wall and papered over.!! LOL
