The official Twitter for interior designer, Michael Smith.
"Designing History" written with Margaret Russell and foreword by Michelle Obama is now available!
Michael S. Smith has decorated homes for Steven Spielberg, Shonda Rhimes and Harrison Ford. But his own L.A. home represents the most thoughtful distillation of his design ideas. https://t.co/RaAO6YzNdU
This bedroom is sumptuously outfitted with blue export wallpaper panels, beautiful nineteenth-century silk-embroidered linens, and a mahogany tester bed attributed to Gillows.
One of my greatest honors was working in collaboration with the Obama family to select art for the White House nearly 8 years ago...
Explore the art & style of the Obama White House in my book "Designing History" written by Margaret Russell and with foreword by Michelle Obama.
During our time in the White House, Michelle and I were proud to display artwork from artists like Alma Thomas and Charles Alston—whose work provoked thought, challenged our assumptions, and shaped how we define our narrative as a country. https://t.co/eDd76kmlc1
This room, and everything in it, is big in scale. The ceiling is high and the windows are tall, so I brought in strong vertical elements like these 2 Japanese brushstroke paintings and a large steel campaign bed based on an Italian original... Beautiful.
Designers will tell you of commissions that have come via word of mouth, but it’s a very serendipitous recommendation that leads to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, D.C. @Michaelsmithinc explains how working on the White House #interiors came about https://t.co/0e3nFUIDk0
