ROSANNA Davison’s dad Chris de Burgh has persuaded her to add his “dream” room to her home after being shut down by his wife.
The Dublin beauty finally secured the keys to her family‘s forever home, after years of house hunting, last November.
Rosanna and her husband Wes Quirke had initially planned on making a few small changes to the home but it has “snowballed” into a huge renovation project after “gutting the entire house”.
The couple, who have three kids Sophia, Hugo and Oscar, are hoping to move into the pad around June.
And they’re adding very own private cinema room to their home after Rosanna’s singing dad Chris suggested it.
The former Miss World told The Irish Sun: “We were showing him around a few months ago, and he was like, ‘What are you doing with this room?’, and we said, ‘Oh, it was originally an office, but we just thought we’d keep it as an office, because it has a kind of big window’.
“He was like, ‘Make it into a cinema room’. And we were laughing at him, going, ‘You must be joking’. But he wasn’t, he was being dead serious.
“He had wanted to put in a cinema room to watch matches and things in the house that my parents are in and my mum said, ‘No, it’s going to be a spare room’.
“And so he was blocked from his dream of having a home cinema.
“So now he’s like, ‘Oh, I can live over at their house and watch, he’s mad into football. He supports Liverpool, Wes supports Man United, so there’s a bit of a healthy rivalry there.
“He just wants somewhere to get away and watch a few matches in peace.”
The mum-of-three has said she’s “learned an awful lot” since starting the renovations.
She explained: “The detail you have to put into a house, like the wiring, where sockets go, you really have to consider where you’ll be in the house and your routine.
“So where will you charge your phone when you get into bed? Do you want to get out again to turn off the switch? But it’s just the practicality.
“Do you want to charge your laptop at the kitchen island somewhere, and you have to think of all these things in advance while the kitchen is being kind of designed and made.
FAMILY JOY
“So I’ve learned a lot about just the flow of a house and how we want to live.”
Rosanna also said she would have “never” taken on such a big project if she didn’t have kids.
She added: “But we just want a home where we can have everyone over, all their friends, over families, have our birthday parties, Christmases, and it our turn to host Christmas because my parents have done it for years now.
“We just didn’t have the space in the house we’re in. So we just want that kind of house that they can grow up in and have all their friends over all the time.”
