Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but in the case of one very red basement, not even its homeowners, Molly Dunn and Eric Geislinger, could bring themselves to see the room as beautiful. So, when the couple submitted their lower level space to The Oprah Winfrey Show Ugliest Room in America contest, its no surprise that they won.

Voters couldnt seem to get past the basements wall-to-wall carpet in a garish shade of red, and the walls werent any better: One half was the same color as the carpet, and the other half was paneled in dark brown wood. The room was relatively empty, except for two pea-green chairs, a black floor lamp and a tiny TV sitting on an old wood coffee table. Indeed, Molly and Erics lower level needed a lot of love.
