Conversations with…Tessa Prieto-Valdes on her home holiday decor

Culture / December 10, 2018

It would be an understatement to say that Tessa Prieto-Valdes lives life to the fullest. She needs to hyperbolic expression to describe how she is. Tessa loves life and being happy. It seems too simple compared to the flamboyant outfits and headpieces she wears. She’s the type who attends Zumba class in a tutu with her leggings. I wish all of us would be blessed to have that kind of zest.

So who would be surprised to find that Tessa is one to go all-out when it comes to her Christmas decorations. Every year, there is a theme. Every single corner in her space is filled with decor according to said theme. I feel a little overwhelmed every time I pass by her place. But I always leave with her place with a sense of happiness. You can definitely say that Tessa manages to accomplish her mission all the time.

This year, her home decor’s theme is all about emojis. Fitting since she’s also translated her message to the online sphere. Your Instagram feed would be drab without a dose of @seaprincess888’s posts which reflect her travels, every day musings, and different projects including the Red Charity Gala.

But it is not an excessive. Somehow Tessa finds a balance between completing the theme and making sure nothing goes to waste. Her emoji decor are pillows and pouches which serves as gifts. The cloth which she uses on her tree and tablescape is sourced from Divisoria, with an eventual plan to repurpose it. She also incorporated her snow globe collection into the theme so that everything feels coherent and still feels like home.

I asked Tessa if her takes her long to decide on what to do. For her, it does take some time but it’s also part of her lifestyle. Every day for Tessa is another chance to express her creativity.
