00:00Hi, I'm Coco Fennell.

00:02Welcome to my house.

00:03Come on in.

00:10This is my sitting room.

00:12And it's just got lots of fun stuff

00:14that I've collected over time.

00:16And I like having stuff that my friends have made.

00:18My best friend, Pom, made the Heartlight.

00:21And then other stuff, just stuff I've

00:22got on eBay and things over the years.

00:24So this took me 10 years to find.

00:26It is a Tintin magazine rack.

00:30And I think they just have like Tintin books

00:33in children's bookshops, but it's a giant rocket.

00:35And I just love it.

00:36So this is like the telly end of the room.

00:38So it's darker and more cozy.

00:41And I've got these amazing like cinema chairs.

00:43But they're all upholstered in different velvets.

00:46And I got them for like 200 quid for like seven on eBay.

00:48This is quite a sort of hoarders, hoarders paradise.

00:51This is just like a shelf of knickknacks and candles.

00:54Bits and bobs that I have yet to throw away.

00:58The design style for the house is I guess like maximalist.

01:02Everything goes, color.

01:05There's no rhyme or reason to it at all.

01:07I obviously like gravitate towards certain like styles,

01:09but I wasn't aware of that.

01:12But when I like, you know, it's a lot of like fairground,

01:14circusy, Americana kind of stuff.

01:19This is the kitchen.

01:20And I've got some just another like silly bits.

01:24This I love. It's like an old cigarette machine.

01:26And it comes and it's just got like all these old sea packets in it.

01:30And then this dresser I got from an auction house.

01:33And I just love it.

01:34And then what else have we got?

01:35We've got this guy.

01:38Always had a real thing for the Michelin man.

01:40Not in a sexy way.

01:41Just, just as an image.

01:46This is by House of Lucy Art.

01:48And she makes these amazing plates that have like,

01:51just like modern emblems on the old fashioned plates.

01:53And I love her stuff.

01:54I love the whole house.

01:56I just love, it's very me.

01:58And it feels like I've just been able to do like everything I want with it,

02:02which has been so nice.

02:03And just adding stuff to it over the years.

02:07Got a lovely disco loo over here.

02:09And then this is actually like the first like stupid thing I ever bought.

02:12And I got it when I was about 19 at a market in Oxford.

02:14And it's really had its day, but I can't get rid of it.

02:18And it just holds the loo roll.

02:21So this is my spare room.

02:23And I've got some really nice stuff in here.

02:25I like to have a lot of things that are made by kind of friends and people I admire.

02:28So this is from Tough Luck Studios.

02:31My friend Cara, who makes like amazing paintings.

02:34And this banner is by Alice Gabb and she makes these amazing kind of protest-y banners

02:39and like however you want them.

02:41And then other stuff I just got on like eBay and Etsy and stuff.

02:44And the wallpaper is Cole and Sons.

02:46And it's, it's funny.
