In addition to these lovely special ordered light covers in the master bedroom and bathroom the previous owner decided to hot glue about 40 - 50 real starfish to our walls! Some are broken off giving us a nice shot of their post mortum anatomy. Neither of us have ever had a strong opinion on dried starfish before but as we try to pry them off my wall and their limbs are scattered around our makeshift bed we are finding them absolutely revolting.
Home owner tip - do not hot glue ANYTHING to your walls. It took one of us 4 hours to scrape off the starfish. After numerous failed attempts we had to heat up the glue to remove it from the wall which also removed several layers of paint so in addition to removing the glue we had to sand the newly created holes, spackle them, wait for it to dry, and then sand the spackle spots.
