Snoop Dogg turns designer to create pop-up home at SXSW festival

Rapper Snoop Dogg has turned interior designer to create a pop-up house for fans at the South by Southwest festival in Texas.

The Gin and Juice hitmaker teamed up with Home & Garden Television's Emily Henderson to design a space featuring marijuana leaf-patterned wallpaper and a blue velvet couch as well as many other unique decorations, which reflects his style.

He says, "The pop-up home was something I wanted to do because I felt like it was missing my flavor. I've seen the people who have done it in the past and I just wanted to add my flavor and bring a home out here that represented me and what I stood for.

"So many people love Snoop Dogg and want to be next to him..., so why not create a home that's in my vision? That you can come hang out and chill with me in."

Snoop Dogg is among many big names checking out the talent at this year's (14) South by Southwest festivities in Austin.
