Kim Chiu had been working hard since the day she emerged the grand prize winner of ABS-CBN’s PBB Teen Edition. You can see how hard the Kapamilya sweetheart had been working when you see her house which stands on a 600 sq. m. lot in a posh subdivision in Quezon City. Her house is a combination of Contemporary, Neo-Classical, and Victorian styles. The house is modern but homey and cozy.

An Egyptian crystal chandelier that hangs over the living room is truly eye-catching. According to Janet Diquiatco-Torio, design consultant, the chandelier was custom made so it would have the exact length for the room. The high ceiling gives the living room a lavish vibe.

Dining Area

The designer explained that she had chosen an eclectic design for the dining room. She had the mural on the wall of the dining room inspired by a place in Greece and done by artists Raymond Peralta and Raymond Cariaso.

The dining area is beautiful. Still following feng shui, the chairs in the dining room is designed with the number eight which is a symbol of infinity. Kim had consulted Joy Lim who is a feng shui expert so they had to add the color blue on the walls to offset the element of fire coming from the kitchen.

Kitchen Area

The kitchen area sits beside the dining room. It is well-equipped with modern appliances such as a Samsung French-door refrigerator, GE microwave oven, Elba oven, Krups coffeemaker, and a 3D bread toaster.
