Finn Juhl japan chairs were reupholstered to bring the color scheme indoors.  A Thomas Hayes sofa sports custom pillows.  The round mirror is by Aksel Kjersgaard and was positioned to relate to the door frames which were stripped and walnut stained.

Another view of the Living room, where you can see a Finn Juhl loveseat with custom pillows, linen drapery, a vintage pottery collection and a tall cabinet from The Window.

The window and door frames were stripped and stained to match the frame of the vintage clock.  Jute lights by Fog and Morup were used throughout the house.

Because Reggie didn't own the house, no doors or windows could be replaced.  The vinyl windows in the bedroom were a particular annoyance so automated drapes were installed to hide them at the touch of a button.  The rosewood Sergio Rodrigues bedframe sports Belgain linen sheets.

The game room already featured this distinctively retro dad-den wall panelling and carpeting.  So Jared Frank studio leaned into it with matching velvet blackout drapery.

The same wood panelling was added to the guest bedroom to tie it into that wing of the house.  Custom drapery and pillows frame the view.  The flea market afghan throw echoes the Missoni towels and living room zig-zag pillows.

From Jared Frank Studio

Built in 1950 by Denver Markwith Jr. this midcentury ranch was rented to Reggie Watts in 2014. In 2019, Reggie hired Jared Frank Studio to decorate the one-level three-bedroom flat. The greatest challenge was that since Reggie didn't own, no drastic changes could be made to the interior architecture or the exterior paint colors. Jared Frank Studio decided to organize their scheme around the pre-existing color palette including the home's cherry-red kitchen cabinets and avocado green windowsills. A year later, Reggie brought Jared Frank back onto the project to design and build a backyard deck with built-in seating and planters.
