The foreigner in "Osennij Marafon" keeps repeating about remodeling they've done in the apartment some phrases -- something like "маленький раскардаш" -- Does anyone know the second word in the phrase?

Thank you. How do these words compare to words like бардак, безпорядок, "каша"?

Бардак is strong enough. Originally it meant hotel with sluts, "brothel".

Беспорядок is absence of порядок, disorder. It is something you can easily sort out.
Каша is rare term for this. I think it is used to emphasize that something looks like mixed, overturned, etc.
Look, it is каша:
