Decorator in Chief

The Obamas have chosen LA interior designer Michael Smith to redecorate the White House. As First Decorator, he has 18,000 square feet of historical floorboards to revamp. Uhhgg how cool!!

Smith says that "the family's casual style, their interest in featuring 20th century American artists and utilizing affordable brands and products will serve as our guiding principles."


Watch this video of Michael Smith's Bel Air home for a glimpse of his style.

Nancy Reagan's office

Took advantage of high ceilings with framed botanical prints to ceiling. Only thing is, don't you think this is too much celadon, too much creme?

Does anyone know - what is the budget?!
