The home is extra special for the married couple of eight years, because it’s the first they’ve collaborated on together with the help of their friendMelissa Andre.

“These are all handmade,” she says. “I had this idea that I was going to have all these sitting areas and plant beautiful flowers, palms, and cactus. So, [Bev] went and got the bricks and during quarantine that’s what I did. I started designing things for the house.”
Walking into the home through stained glass doors, there’s a hallway lined with family photos. “To us, that was really important because this is the first home that my husband and I really did together and joined forces,” she reveals.
Her husband was the one who picked out some of the more complex details as theOnce Upon a Timeactress “was gone all the time when I was working.”
Every room in Ramirez’s home is meant to be a “safe space,” she says, adding, “The kitchen for me is my safe space… I love to entertain and cook.”
The kitchen is also where the actress teaches Gaia and Aether Spanish. Pointing to a chalkboard, she shows the English and Spanish words for “Bathroom please.” “I write a different quote every single week,” she reveals.
“I love a backyard and I love nature, so I get an opportunity to actually go outside and just forget that I live in the middle of the chaos in Los Angeles and just come back here and see this amazing space,” the mom-of-two shares. “This is where I come to zen out.”
