Bronwyn shows off her home
As a fresh season of RHOSLC is underway, fans are getting a glimpse of the season 5 cast’s homes this fall.
Bronwyn showcases a crib as “colorful as her wardrobe” which comes complete with expensive furniture and a highlight of being “haunted.”
The Real Housewives star kicks off her tour by explaining she found the home on a “Zillow gone wild listing.”
She explains: “I love a project. So, I wanted this old, haunted house in Salt Lake that we could remodel.”
Bronwyn’s house features mountainous views of Salt Lake and lots of space for her to host parties.
The star’s furniture was made in Italy, and she explains how her abode is currently very “unfinished.”
She tells the cameras: “It looks like a furniture warehouse in here right now.”
$450K wall of handbags
As Bronwyn casually shows Bravo TV around her work-in-progress house, she showcases her “rainbow couches.”
She shows off a room she “never uses,” the kitchen, and tells the cameras it’s one of the “prettiest” in the house.
Bronwyn describes her office as the room that could be the “best” and “most finished.”
Her “favorite space so far” boasts lilac walls and shelves filled with designer handbags.
She tells viewers: “I’m making a wall of Leiber bags. I collect Judith Leibers. I think I am up to 75…”
“These are my small ones that fit on a shelf. This is my first ever Leiber I bought… my collection started with the tiger,” she adds.
Bronwyn’s Judith Leiber bag collection would set her back around $450,000 given that she says she has 75 and counting.
Per the brand’s website, the novelty range of bags come in at around $6,000 each.
Fashion is clearly a big passion for the star, judging by her looks on the show and her Instagram page.
Appearing on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, designer Christian Siriano said Bronwyn is one of his clients:
“My newest Housewife, Bronwyn, is like my number one customer. And has been shopping, everyone, for years, and spends real money. All her confessionals are like Siriano couture.”
