Victoria and David Beckham begin decorating their new London home, but here's why we want Harper's room...

Victoria and David Beckham have given neighbours a glimpse of one of their most prized possessions, as they began moving furniture into their new West London home this weekend.

A custom Damien Hirst painting, commissioned for Harper's first birthday in July 2012, looked to be giving the removal men some difficulty as they negotiated it through the doors of the lavish £40 million mansion.

The 7ft high, heart-shaped artwork is embellished with butterflies and appropriately titled 'Daddy's Girl', costing the couple a whopping £600,000, according to reports.

'The removal firm was extra careful with the Damien Hirst,' a source told The Sun. 'It was packaged up and no-one wanted to drop it and put a hole in such a valuable work of art.

'Harper is a lucky girl having such an expensive painting hanging in her room.'

David and Victoria Beckham are believed to own several works by the controversial English artist, which will move with them into their new 9,000 square foot, Grade II-listed property.

The former footballer has joked about his new life as a house-husband, telling Jonathan Ross: 'I really am. But I love it. I've been lucky, I've always been able to take the boys to school in the mornings and pick them up and make them dinner and things like that. So I do even more of that.'

'I'm able to take all three of the boys to school and then I take Harper to her school for a few hours and then pick her up. I'm kind of like a driver at the moment, I'm always in the care.'

Never mind Victoria's designer wardrobe, Harper's one-of-a-kind artwork is giving us total interior envy.
