Show Notes

Ted Kennedy Watson

In this week’s new episode, we sit down with Ted Kennedy Watson! Ted is a designer, curator, businessman, and author, and he owns and runs two iconic stores in downtown Seattle: Watson Kennedy Fine Living and Watson Kennedy Fine Home. Join us to hear how Ted got his start in the design and retail world (hint: it involves Bill Gates) and how he has managed to keep two shops successful for over 20 years in a city that is always changing.

We learn more about Ted’s latest book,Ted Kennedy Watson’s Guide to Stylish Entertaining, and he shares some tips and tricks for both hosting meals or parties and for designing spaces that reflect who you are. Ted is truly living a life of his own design, and we hope you find this conversation as inspiring as we did.
