People's creativity really knows no bounds, and there are those who really manage to let their imagination run wild when they are about to plan and carry out projects of all kinds.

An armchair that to call kitsch would be an understatement. In which living room would you be able to see this horror being integratable?

...or even a mosaic of colorful bottle caps. Who knows what glue the "artist" used to secure them on with?

What are the instances of poor taste that you have seen and that stick in your memory?
