Obama's Look at Interior Design

As the Obama family moves into the White House, we will see their style come to life in the form of an official interior designer. They chose the interior decorator Michael Smith, who is from California and has written two books on design. He has decorated for Steven Spielberg and Cindy Crawford. The Obama’s are trying to create a warm and comfortable mood for the White House and feel that Smith can make that happen. When decorating for Malia and Sasha’s room, he is going to be utilizing stores that cater to children. He also plans on using various ideas and designs from other artists and designers. Smith also stated that he wanted to change the paint color of the White House. No one is 100% positive on the direction that the Obama’s and Smith are going to take, but they did mention that the Obama’s residence featured glass fronted bookcases, Asian and African art, and plenty family photos.
