Biography

Santo-Tomas is known on Trading Spaces as one of its most controversial and polarizing hosts. Known for often ignoring the wishes of the homeowners, her convention-defying room designs, which have included covering walls of rooms with non-traditional materials, often to the dismay and shock of the homeowners. These projects have included covering the entire walls of a bathroom with artificial flowers, using old phonograph records as the cover for another room, and creating a mural-sized narcissistic portrait of herself across a living room wall.

She now lives in Paris in a small flat and is rarely seen in public.

Education

Santo-Tomas majored in industrial relations and economics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
