An intriguing home in Buda, TX, is drawing scads of social media attention for its intricate, hand-painted elements and over-the-top use of the color pink. Now on the market for $435,000, the home awaits a new owner who digs quirky design.

Photos of the home have been upvoted almost 17,000 times on a subreddit called "Awful Taste But Great Execution."

Listing agent Tyler Shelton says his company's own social media account posted photos of the home's kitchen with a simple "caption this"—which also garnered a bunch of attention.

One Twitter user shared the listing with the mandate to check out the home's "rococo Precious Moments nightmare."

LOLs aside, the home's hand-painted kitchen was created by current owner Missy Stephenson. She was inspired by a whimsical collection from colorful home goods design retailer Mackenzie Childs.

In her previous home, Stephenson hired an artist to paint her walls and kitchen, but for this space, she decided to take the task on herself. Over the course of three months, she painstakingly covered the entire kitchen—including the appliances—with her intricate designs. And she didn't stop there. Her entire home is filled with frills, pink paint, gold heart murals, and much, much more.

"This is a little piece of heaven to me," Stephenson says about her home. "I just love color."

Stephenson's little piece of heaven is a four-bedroom, two-bathroom, 3,000-square-foot home, sitting on more than a half-acre. It comes with a man cave—notable for its spartan aesthetic—where Stephenson's husband, John, likes to hang out. But don't get it twisted—Stephenson's frilly design aesthetic doesn't bother her husband.

"I'm really blessed," she says with a laugh. "God gave me the husband I was meant to have."

Stephenson understands the home isn't for everyone, and she's aware of the social media mockery. However, she says, she's also received plenty of compliments and attention from folks who love her designs and have called them "inspiring" and "uplifting."

Shelton says his phone has been ringing steadily with inquiries about the one-of-a-kind home.

The couple are a bit sad to leave the property, but hope the eventual buyer will love its design as much as Stephenson loved creating it. And for those who want some of her magic in their own homes, she says she's absolutely available for hire.
