Echo Park Living, Beatrice Valenzuela Style - Remodelista
Beatrice Valenzuela first hit our radar when we discovered her chic and under-the-radar shoe line. Raised in Mexico City, Beatrice lives in a colorful Echo Park cottage with her partner Ramsey Conder, a fellow designer, and their two young children. Photography by Nancy Neil. The front (and back) door are painted a mustard shade. Ramsey designed the modular built-in sofa in ash and brass. The hanging basket above the sofa is from a village in the jungle six hours from Puebla, Mexico, and is available via Beatrice Valenzuela. A view into the kitchen from the dining room. The kitchen has a white farmhouse sink left exposed beneath. On display are Burnished Clay Pottery and Talavera Pitchers from Puebla, Mexico, which Beatrice sells online. Unlacquered brass is used in both the kitchen and bathroom; the faucet was sourced from Newport Brass. They sealed the counter with linseed oil, but look forward to seeing a patina develop over time. The kitchen’s Moroccan Cement Tiles are from Badia Design in North Hollywood. A custom kitchen table and bench by Ramsey, lit by one of his fixtures. A splash of color in an all-white bedroom with custom curtains by Heather Taylor Home woven on looms in Chiapas, Mexico. A weaving by Beatrice of cotton, sisal, and raw wool hangs in a second bedroom. Moroccan Tile in the bathroom from Badia is paired with brass fixtures. An ash daybed is piled with black and indigo cushions purchased on a trip to a remote village in the mountains near San Cristobal de las Casas, Chiapas. Beatrice in her new rental in Echo Park.
