People passing by Alicia and Scott Vizenor's one-story, white home on Pinecrest Drive in Coronita would never expect a world of color inside.

From the plush purple, high-backed chair to the bright blue armoire-style entertainment center, the four-bedroom home is awash in vivid colors.

"We wanted something fun and different," Alicia Vizenor said. "I don't think we have a style we follow. We're just opinionated and know what we like."

The couple have lived in their home in the unincorporated area of Riverside County for nearly three years with their sons, Nicholas, 12, and J.T., 10.

"The previous owners had the house decorated in country blue and a lot of wood, big barrel chairs and this blue carpeting," said the 38-year-old stay-at-home mom. "It had to be changed."

And change, it did. The former white walls are painted with coats of primary colors -- a blue entryway, red living room, yellow gold dining room and yellow television room. To accent these colorful walls, white, lighted crown molding was recently installed.

"I love colors," she said. "I'm just not a white or wood person. Now I look at a white wall and think, `Gosh! What color would look good there?' "

Bold colors aren't all that sets this family home apart from others. Decorative mirrors and bright, colorful artwork adorn the walls. Fun, funky chairs decorate each of the main rooms. A nearly 7-foot-tall metal knight, a salvage from a local junk yard, stands guard in the hallway that leads to the bedrooms.

Alicia Vizenor's love of clocks gets its own tribute with her "wall of clocks" in the living room.

"We like going to LACMA," she said referring to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. "There we've seen sets of bowling pins displayed and it's called art. I thought to myself that I could do that with some clocks. It's my own piece of art."

Their favorite piece of furniture is their dining room table. Six metal chairs with vibrant color seats and circular back decorations surround the large glass table.

Alicia Vizenor's love for color has rubbed off on her children.

"My youngest has picked out the most brilliant orange for his bedroom curtains," she said with a smile.

Friends and acquaintances who have been to the Vizenor home have characterized it as fun, eclectic, the Picasso house, Dr. Seuss, even hysterical.

"We've heard all the comments," said Scott Vizenor, 38, an operations manager for Kohl's department store. "They don't bother us."

The twosome find most of their decorative pieces at traditional furniture stores, IKEA and some higher-end interior design shops. Alicia Vizenor said even though Scott enjoys diverse furniture, he does have his limits.

"He vetoed a red love seat that was shaped like a pair of lips," she said.

The Vizenor's flair extends into their back yard with a single piece, a 71-inch replica of the Statue of Liberty, complete with lighted torch.

"Alicia's from upstate New York," Scott Vizenor said. "She's always loved her (the statue). She kind of latched on to her."

Lady Liberty isn't just for the family to admire, said Alicia Vizenor. The statue rests on a hill in their backyard that overlooks the Mountain View Country Club. Each day golfers take note of the patriotic symbol.

"Golfers love her," she said. "They salute her and wave when they go by."

The family is still working on adding more color to their 1,545-square-foot abode. Up next is the kitchen. The cabinets will be covered in cheery yellow and blue paint.

"We're going to replace the counter tops, sink and faucet," she said. "We want a color sink. I don't like a white sink and we've been looking at faucets. There's a lot of neat faucets out there. Really unconventional."
