London. Pan down from a plant reveals the plant pot to be a metal leg and foot in a sandal - bizarre.

The chest of drawers which has a leopard painted on it is truly fabulous - I want it! A woman puts her newspaper on top of the chest of drawers weighing it down with a paperweight which looks like a newspaper - nutty! Woman opens drawer of the chest of drawers.
