This Jewelry Designer’s Los Angeles Home Is Pretty Much Perfect
It’s the type of place we’ve always dreamt of living in.
To say that Kathryn Bentley’s L.A. digs are a mirror image of her jewelry line, Dream Collective, would be an understatement. Everything is chic and colorful, and just so… her. One of the greatest things about Bentley’s Echo Park home is that, while it’s on the bright and colorful side, the aesthetic is still super minimalist, and not overpowering in the slightest. You can tell it’s the home of a creative—there are so many interesting pieces to take in, we had a hard time focusing on anything but, well, everything at once.
Bentley is a woman of many talents, and on top of her two jewelry collections, Dream Collective and Kathryn Bentley, she makes ceramics, paints and draws. Oh, and did we mention she also has a store? Because she has a store. And it’s full of all the things we want. All. The. Things. Bentley claims to have gotten her talent and eye from her parents, and if that’s the case, we’re just waiting for the go-ahead to join the family.
