The White House is gearing up for its new tenants, and this means redecoration is in order! Michelle Obama has already selected the man for the job, and I’m thrilled that it’s famed American interior designer Michael S. Smith. With his healthy respect for the integrity of historic interiors and family-friendly design approach, the East Wing is in great hands. Above is a sampling of some of Smith’s work, already acclaimed worldwide (he’s decorated spaces for Steven Spielberg, Dustin Hoffman and Rupert Murdoch, amongst others), but sure to be even more in-demand than ever with these new high-profile clients! Check out more of Smith’s work at his website.
What I love most about Smith is the “livability” of his spaces — there’s absolutely no pretense, and shines through in his exchange with the editor of Domino magazine in a recent interview:
Editor:Â How do you feel about the decorator-karate-chopped pillow?
Smith:Â That move should be punishable with a jail sentence.
Yay! I hate chopped pillows too! lol
