PEP made an exclusive article which featured celebrities and their homes, kinda like MTV cribs but without the strip dance poles and the helicopter landing pad (or maybe they just left those out?). Anyway, here's a glimpse of Francine Prieto's sanctuary:
In her new townhouse, even without a Prince Charming, Francine is the queen of her own castle.
The glass wine rack beside the sofa displays unopened bottles of wine. "Collection 'yan ni Mommy," Francine says. "'Yong iba diyan, bigay pa ng mga kaibigan ng dad ko noong buhay pa siya."
The interior of Francine Prieto's townhouse has an eclectic European feel-straight lines, contemporary furnishings, and surprising elements. George Torres, the interior designer, says, "Ayaw nila noong very elegant na parang Victorian. Gusto nila very simple. Ang exact words na ginamit nila, they want 'yong simple and cute." All the furniture and appliances in the townhouse are brand-new. The most expensive single item Francine bought was the deep-red leather sofa, which cost over P50,000 at Play and Display on Quezon Avenue, Quezon City.

On the third floor, a six-square-meter space is used as a mini-gym. The treadmill, bought three years ago, is now hardly used, since Francine started going to a gym in Greenhills, San Juan. "Hindi ako mahilig sa rubber shoes," she says, "pero pag kailangan ko, sa men's section ng department store ako bumibili." +++ She may have size 12's but who cares! Nice shot of her civilian derriere right there.
