Inside Bretman Rock’s Colorful Hawaiian Villa | Open Door | Architectural Digest

aloha hello and welcome come in so this is my formal living room. I feel like it represents a lot of random Bretman

rock

. It's very

colorful

and very gay. I'm obviously from Hawaii, but I'm Filipino, so I have a lot. I like the local pieces in this room and I also have a lot of Filipino pieces in this room. This is my living terrarium here. I feel like it's like a piece of nature in my house and I don't know whether to look at it. very therapeutic and I love it so much it's definitely my favorite piece in my formal living room and you know you recognize the name it's the baddest.

I also love the fireplace. I feel like chimneys are kind of weird to see in Hawaii because no. you really think we don't have fireplaces here and my um favorite chair in my entire house is this blooming chair by Kenneth he's a Filipino designer and it's called the blooming chair because it's supposed to look like a flower but be real y'all know which looks like me so it's actually very comfortable and I don't know I just feel like it's so sexual and the

rock

here is like a photo shoot moment this is designed and made by a local Artist I also like It reminds a lot of my MTV show because of this chair and honestly sometimes I like to sit here and admire my house like wow and of course we can't forget a chair for my little niece Cleo, this one is for her too I collect many crystals, you will see them all over my house.

I love crystals. I'm pretty sure it's heat treated selenite, not Stella type selenite. I don't know what it's called, but it's orange and I love it. My office is like a mess but like a mess, so it's a lot like me when I'm working on something, I like to surround myself with what I'm working on and that's why I have all my crocodiles here. I also make a lot of similar games here on YouTube and a lot of my achievements are here too because I like to remind myself that I'm bad. The thing I'm most proud of in this room is probably this award.

It is the beauty influencer of the year award, chosen by the people. The reason I'm so proud of this is because a couple of days before I received this award, my father passed away and I almost didn't want to take the flight to accept this award. but I felt like I had to do it and my dad probably would have wanted me to go there and accept my award and to be honest, I felt his presence that day. I feel like this award itself is not just for me, but also for my parents and their similar dreams and aspirations about me as a kid, so yeah, I have non-makeup stuff here that I also worked on like that, what do you want? say with that?

Obviously, she is a graduate of James Campbell High School. I know I don't really do much here besides work so it's pretty boring, so this is my formal dining room. My favorite piece in this dining room is probably this chair. I was lucky enough to work with a brilliant team of designers and they are called mcyia, I love that they captured how weird I am and basically captured my personality in my home and I love that the other thing I really love is this wallpaper that we chose when I moved to the United States. I couldn't read as well as most other kids and one of the first books I read was Where the Wild Things Are and it reminded me a lot of moving to America and my love of reading, I don't know.

Doesn't it remind you of the world or where the wild things are? This is my chandelier here. It is restoration hardware. I love it. It reminds me of the Philippines and I like the things I grew up with. I know it's like that. dramatic but this dining room reminds me a lot of moving to America and being an immigrant kid and yeah it's crazy and also the touches are like me because I'm very welcome to my kitchen this is where I pretend to To be honest I know how to cook mainly because I like microwave stuff, but when I go out with my friends and when my family is visiting, this is where we really gather, especially my mom, this is her space, she is always cooking something, even I'm not.

I don't even know where she gets half of the food she cooks from. This side is my breakfast nook. I'd be lying to you if I told you I actually eat my breakfast here, but it's such a nice thing to see. I love these bulbs. Doesn't it look like a work of art? I love it here it's my living room, the living room, not my formal living room, but my living room. I have a small vinyl collection here, a vinyl player, Cleo and I and us. I have more crystals, television, more crystals and Miss Britney Spears, so believe it or not, since fifth grade, my email has always been Britney Spears gmail.com.

Yes, Britney Spears, we love Miss Brittany in this house. Hashtag Free Brittany. I grew up surrounded by nature. My whole life, um, it's probably the reason I would never move to a city like Los Angeles or New York. There are ocean and mountain views. What more could you want? So let's go up, so when people ask me what I do, I often just show it. them this I'm a singer songwriter actor actress athlete activist a scientist on my mother's side that's what I do another thing my designers helped me find are these local paintings and I love supporting local artists obviously we have this it's actually me like The Girl with the Earrings when I was promoting my new sunglasses collection and someone made a painting of it and I love it so much that sometimes I like to get small and walk around and pretend I have my own museum at home my favorite is this turtle here I'm a big advocate of saving turtles because without my turtles we wouldn't have turtles please don't use plastic straws because you want this to die no, don't do another painting in This house that I really enjoy is this painting by my niece Cleo and Yo, it's like my house colors right now, so I thought it would look really perfect here since you could probably see that my niece grabbed the chalk.

I'm glad I have a house now where I can let my nieces and nephews draw whatever they want on the wall because I want Clay to know. I appreciate these little drawings she makes with me even though she says that. This is me, rude, this is my attic, I like to call it my Bret Man Cave, you know, you get it, this is the hangout for me and my friends, my favorite pieces in this room are these mahjong sets and I want collect them all. They are very difficult to find, I actually prefer to sleep here, so when will you be there?

When I show you my room, know that I don't sleep there, I sleep here, it's so comfortable, very comfortable, I also like to journal here. You might notice these little paintings of iconic people. This is Mr. Freddie Mercury. I love Freddie Mercury. I also have Mr. Einstein here. Science is my favorite subject since I was a child and that is why I have a science corner here. where I film my science videos I just like to collect trinkets and little things like this is from a show I'm currently working on like these pieces here I have this really powerful crystal called Motivite we love her it's kind of like my science studio I guess I love this room, we also have all these bean bags that are so comfortable, oh my gosh, you could literally sink in here and stay here all day, which is what I do all the time, I just sit. here I literally like to call this my manifestation tower, like my crystals are here and every time I manifest or journal I like to stay in this room because of all the energy, I don't know if you can feel it. energy through the video right now, but I'm sending you a little bit.

This is my beauty salon. If you watch my YouTube channel, you've probably seen this room. I love this room so much. Obviously I'm known for being the most beautiful person in this. In the world, no one has said that. I think this room is just a nice reminder of where I started. I started with makeup, obviously, and now I literally have Sephora in my house. These curtains remind me of Sephora because, when I was younger, I would literally go to Sephora and think how cool it would be to have so much makeup and have my own makeup because at the time I could barely afford anything and I don't know, it's like a nice reminder of why that.

I even started social media and everything else, so this is my wig wall. I have more than 30 wigs. It gets creepy every time I do my makeup alone because I feel like I'm being judged by 30 girls, but so am I. I'm prettier than half of these, so I don't care what they think of me, but yeah, this is my wig ball, so here we have my closet, the changing room, you'll see later my other closet, but here it is where I keep a lot of my clothes and what I like most about it is this moment here, this is not my everyday closet, it's like my extra room, so I put all my extra clothes in here and it's a nice fit too.

The room is so homey and I always find new clothes even though I use this as my storage place. I find clothes here all the time that I forgot I had such a nice closet, real quick, I'll take them to the

bretman

. rock production room so this is where I produce a lot of my YouTube videos and I like videos in general. I also do a lot of my zoom meetings here, we set up like these audio pads um, so yeah, not only do I hear myself, but I hear myself. my own thoughts in this room so this is my infamous green wall I could literally be in the jungle I could be on the beach I could even be in space you know, one small step for humans and one giant step for bad guys, yeah, so now I'm going to take you outside, so welcome to my yard.

I have this chair here. I love it. They are like out

door

chairs. It rains a lot where I live. I also have this floating chair. I also have another piece by Kenneth. right here, I don't know, I feel like I'm in the embryo and I feel like a fetus again when I'm here, that's literally the worst comparison ever, but that's how I feel here, I have too this cactus garden. Here, which is actually not outside of my cactus, but we also have my plants here, it gets a lot of sun, so I like to put sun-loving plants in here.

My favorite part about living in Hawaii is just the energy of living here, obviously. There are so many mountains around the world, but I feel like the mountains in Hawaii are different. It is such a magical state. It is such a magical place to live. I feel like I couldn't really see myself thriving anywhere else in the world. It will always be mine. My home and I love it because people treat me like a normal person here. Another thing that's really magical about this place is that it sounds like nature all the time, like, I see, I talk birds, and they said that's right here. my third living room I don't know why anyone needs three living rooms, but I do, and this is like my game room, basically, we play a lot of games in here, we do a lot of trading tournaments, these are probably one of the most comfortable sofas. comfortable ones I have ever worn in my entire life are called Togo sofas.

This yellow is everything. Many of my nieces hang out here. This is like your room. I have another wall of paint here. This painting is my favorite. I ever painted it as punky aloha, I don't know, obviously I'm not her, but this photo doesn't make you want to be her. This one is also very cute. She is sitting in a papaya bath and I love bathing. We have my room ready. here and we have my triple pole here that wakes me up every morning and I've always dreamed of having a stripper pole in my room and now I have it, it's crazy, like the things I used to think about when I was a kid.

It literally became my home. My favorite part of this room is this wallpaper we chose. It just ties this room together so well. Also these sheets locally made you already know the vibes. This is where I keep all my daily makeup. Upstairs is like everything. of my makeup and these are like my daily makeup I get ready here every morning every day I feel like I sound like a broken record but windows

open

everywhere also there's another fireplace here that I never really use because Hawaii is so hot but it's such a flex like oh yeah I have a fireplace two of them this is my bathroom right here I get ready here every day I also bathe a lot and you know how I was talking to you before about my closet my other closet and like my favorite piece, well all my Favorite pieces are in this little closet, I'm working on expanding it and I'm a big fan of sunglasses, so sunglasses are here, this is from my sunglasses collection, I collect a lot of designer bags I'm definitely still working on this closet.

She is a disaster. She'll be bigger the next time you see her, so I guess I'll take them to my front yard now. Many people will argue that it is my backyard. but honestly it's my front yard, so now we're in my front yard. I have these couches here and I also have a fire pit right here, which I love and my favorite piece here would probably be my succulent. We love this. It's definitely a statement piece, so here's my out

door

living room, my family when they come over, this is where we eat most of the time, we have this circular living room right here, but my favorite is this one and, In fact, this is where I eat the most. of my meals I like to eat outsideI'm also working on putting a bar here right now it's just a table but eventually I have a full bar talking about future projects I'm planning on putting a pool right in front of here I'll probably do it in the summer.

I also love this avocado tree here. She is, actually, growing new avocados for me, so that's always nice. I love avocados, so now my dogs are here to join us. I have a cute little like a mini farm in my house I have four cats two dogs a lot of fish and I'll probably turn into a bird soon this is elle and then the torah torah so this is the torah right here this is she elle is a rescue and torah is adopted so i love these two so much and they both fell into my life and i didn't even like training them they are just as good dogs as they really are and just as fun and silly as torah reminds me of a jelly bean so yeah, that was my house I love seeing what my house was like I love having a place in Hawaii I'll always be a Hawaii guy I'll always be an island guy and just What a blessing to be surrounded by nature and kind, nice, amazing people .

There's one more thing I forgot to show you and that's my golf cart monster truck. Getting mail is a chore so they need a golf cart I hope so. You guys enjoyed my house, you are more than welcome to stay and enjoy the view. I'm going to go get my email real quick and see you guys later, aloha.
