Master Bedroom
On the main floor, situated next to the seldom-used front door is the master bedroom. Even more windows illuminate the colors that explode from the room springing mostly from the bed. A green bedspread accented with pink and blue flowers rests on top of pink sheets complimented by green and blue flowers. Pillows and quilts add even more color to the mix. The bed is so big that there is barely room for much else, but the bed is flanked by nightstands on either end. Velásquez's nightstand, which is in accordance with the color scheme of the bed, hosts a slew of literature. Velásquez's bedside reading includes a screenplay he's reading, a book on Tibetan Yoga (though he still prefers Ashtanga), Rolling Stone, The New York Times Book Review and National Geographic.
Children's Bedrooms
Velásquez's children Diego, 7, and Eliana, 4, occupy the entire upstairs. Eliana's room is everything that I imagine a four-year old girl's should be. A light lavender tone pervades the room as the pink and purple adornments meld together. Curtains ornamented with lilacs and outline with purple fabric surround the window. A chandelier of pink streaming fabric floats down from the ceiling to the bed in the corner. Eliana is often occupied with large box of frilly costumes, which Velásquez calls "indoctrinating" in a playful half-hearted tone.
Diego's room is suggesting of a child who is settling into his own personality. Spiderman sheets aesthetically match the assortment of toys in bins alongside the edge of the room, but a collection of Diego's original artwork on the wall suggests a budding artist. Diego uses colors and shapes in a way that is probably closer to Picasso than the stick figures I was drawing at age seven. Diego recently began taking piano lessons from C-school professor Art Goldsmith. A keyboard rests in the corner of the room. Diego also boasts a growing collection of soccer jersey's his favorite of which is Brazil.
