Those crazy Obamas. They are re-inventing the roles of President and First Family – at a rapid clip – and we are ecstatic (along with most of the world, I think)!The newest word on the street* is that the Obamas have decided they will not be using any public funds for the decoration of the White House residence, nor will they use any of the $100,000 allotment from the White House Historical Association. They will be funding the project entirely themselves, with the budget being kept private as well.
How refreshing!
Now it's up to Michael S. Smith to wow us with a design. (No pressure there.) Perhaps he'd share some sketches?

yeah sure. hehe - I'll believe it when I see it and I can't wait to see it finished!!!!
i still say if the obama's wanted to truly be all about change, they would have picked a unknown, non-mainstream decorator to come work some cheap n' chic recessionary magic on the WH. you know, like ME!
enjoy your easter weekend, lana!
Let's wait and see what fabulousness he brings to the WH. Happy Easter Lana, and have a wonderful weekend, xv.
Joni - I hope MS puts the cabosh on Pottery Barn (not that there's anything wrong with that, but the WH deserves better – and the Obamas can afford it. Ok, maybe a few pieces in the girls' room.)
Christian - I'm sure if they knew you they would hire you! Happy Easter!
Vicki - Thanks, Happy Easter to you!
–Lana
I have no doubt that MS will do a wonderful job.
The pressure is on!
Happy Easter, Lana.
