New York Magazine shows us how decorator Miles Redd used colorful fabrics and bold decorative painting to transform the West Village apartment of art curator David Kaiser. What Redd describes as "Comic Book Glamour" includes an array of bright ikats, and a graphically painted floor by decorative painter Chris Pearson.
Furniture from estate sales gets a fresh look with paint. The dresser in the bedroom was painted Yves Klein blue by decorative artist Agustin Hurtado.
For the full story, more images and many of Miles Redd's resources see New York Magazine | That Old, Bright Magic.

If I didn't know any better, I'd say this was from about 1986... Interesting.
I think this is wonderful. Probably perfect for the client.
