Buying a house with someone else's creative touch can be risky!

The entire wall consists of small pieces of blue, white & green tissue paper layered on top of each other.

What about looking passed the color and look at the texture, is it something you can live ...»
with? If it is try Kilz and paint over it they should eliminate the issue of the color and you could simply paint over it. Now, if the texture is not something you want I believe I would also try to soften it who knows once it's softened it may come off in sheets. You never know until you try but I would definitely try in an inconspicuous place.

of color too, this is just perfection!

While redecorating my master bedroom I decided I wanted a light fixture with some "bling" however, I didn't have "bling" cash in my wallet so... I went to Lowe's and purchased an inexpensive double drum light fixture and added my own "bling". I love the results I got!

Yes, AK the shade was from the original fixture and it was around $60.
