Carla Abella has always cherished the tradition of celebrating Christmas with family, as she told PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) in an interview on December 19, 2023, last Tuesday.
"As always, every year I celebrate with my family," she told PEP.ph during the GAOC Christmas Gala at the grand ballroom of Solaire Resort & Casino in Paranaque City.
"Magkasama kami, nagno-noche buena but this time around, sa bagong bahay ko na kami magno-noche buena.
"So first time yun sa bago kong bahay."
CARLA ABELLANA: DREAM HOME
Carla pointed to her new home as her dream house, mentioning it took about a year and four months to have it built.
She described it as a nice mix of classic and traditional styles, with a Western touch in clean and neutral colors.
"Very simple lang yung façade. Gusto ko kasi ng something classic and traditional para hindi naluluwa agad.
"Hindi ako masyadong fan ng modern, e. So more classic lang.
"Medyo may pag-American ng konti yung dating niya pagdating yung interiors.
"Pero para i-break yung pagka-American niya or standard niya, naglalagay naman ako ng little bits and pieces of mga modern decoration or let's say artwork or pieces of furniture.
"So clean colors lang, neutral colors... So mga green, beige, and mostly white talaga siya."
Carla said she has settled into her new home since relocating in July 2023.
However, she has been relatively private about her home, preferring to showcase only a few of her favorite parts of the house, particularly the space of her kitchen.
But apart from this, one of her favorite spots in her new home is, of course, the master's bedroom.
She expounded, "Meron ako kasing anteroom before you get to the master's bedroom.
"Basically yun yung parang magiging first or initial room bago ka makakapasok sa mismong bedroom.
"So doon ako tumatambay, doon ako nanonood ng TV, ng movies, minsan nag-i-snacks kami doon. So favorite tambayan."
The biggest part of her home is the audio-visual room, where she intends to entertain people.
"Meant talaga siya na doon kami, yung family, yung mga relatives, and even my barkada.
"Doon kami mag-ha-hang out, doon kami manonood ng movies, enjoy ng coffee, ng drinks, ng food. So bigger space kasi yun, mas crazy siya."
