The Christmas motif in the Wong residence used to be red and gold, but Beth has now decided on a holiday makeover. "Sabi ko, ibahin naman. Nagsasawa na ako sa red and gold. So I got copper, gold, and bronze, na medyo parang salmon ýong color. Okey naman, it turned out nice. Nag-complement siya doon sa color ng mga curtains at sa mga dark brown, kasi mas maraming wood ýong bahay namin."

When it comes to furniture, Beth doesn't go for imported items. "In all fairness, ang daming maganda sa Pilipinas," she says. "Wala akong masasabing imported sa bahay na ito, bukod sa mga curtains siguro 'tsaka ýong ilang gamit ng asawa ko." The lamp on the right side of the couch came from House of Elegance at Makati's Glorietta; the furniture, from Union Square in Quezon City and Muebles Asia at SM Megamall; and the side tables, from Habitat in Mandaluyong.

Beth is particularly proud of the coffee table in her living room. "I bought this at Habitat," she says. "Habitat is known to make few pieces lang of their furniture. Pangatlo lang akong may ganyan." The two others who have a similar piece are said to be former First Lady Luz Magsaysay and a Forbes Park resident.

This eight-seater dining set was custom-made for Beth and Johnny. "They're made by Guiao Furniture. They are from Pampanga." The elegant dining area, however, is barely used, as Johnny loves eating out. When it comes to cooking, it's also Beth's husband who can better man the kitchen, which is adjacent to the dining area. "Mas magaling siyang magluto kaysa sa akin," admits the actress. "Pero I can cook. Natuto ako sa nanay ko." She adds: "Hindi rin mahirap pakainin ang asawa ko. In fairness, enjoy siya sa Pinoy food."

The color theme for the couple's bedroom consists of beige and brown. "Almost close to wood colors, actually," Beth says. Although her bedroom is close to perfect, Beth has one complaint: their bed. "I wanted to change the bed. Gusto ko ng mas mataas. Kasi hindi nalilinis thoroughly ýong ilalim.

While Beth did the interiors herself, she admits she's not too knowledgeable about gardening. So she hired a landscaper for the job. The huge stone steps here, leading to the house, are actually blocks of piedra china, or Chinese granite, and cost P1,500 each (at the time of the shoot). They were so heavy that it took four persons to carry each piece.

Beth likes watching her favorite television shows from this comfortable wing chair, which she also bought at Habitat. On the wall is a charcoal sketch of Johnny with his two sons, Kelvin and Keion. "That's my gift for him."

The house patio used to have a natural carpet of carabao grass, but the grass was replaced with a stone-and-brick pavement. "Kasi pag umuulan, pumuputik lang." The mechanical retractable green awning above the patio provides shelter from rain or the harsh rays of the sun.
