Cork woman turns house into Coke shrine

Coca-Cola have a big fan in Co Cork.

Mother-of-two Lillian has turned her Glanmire home into a Coca-Cola wonderland where the floors, walls, cupboards and furniture are in the famous drink's colours.

Lillian told the Irish Mirror that her obsession with the fizzy drink started 30 years ago when she travelled from Germany across to Austria drinking the same can of coke.

Lillian, who is married, told the Neil Prendeville show on Red FM: "I collected them for about 28 years. When friends and family went off to different countries, they would bring me back some.

"They were up the loft for years and years and I thought will we do the small bedroom up in Coca Cola?

That Coca-Cola bedroom was given to her son, but she didn't stop there.

She said: "I was watching Come Dine With Me about five years ago and I thought 'Oh I'll do the kitchen up in Coca Cola', because one of the women in it had a Coca Cola sign in her kitchen.

"I just said to Barry we'll do the kitchen up and within six months the whole kitchen was done up in Coca Cola."

The sugary drink fan gets a lot of her memorabilia from the Big Apple, but she also got a local shop to make her cupboards in the beverrage's colours and her hubby has made up two Coca-cola chandeliers out of the drink's bottles.
