While I've introduced you to White House decorator Michael Smith, I didn't have the details on what his designs for the Obama White House would entail. Well, according to US Weekly, the Obamas are taking a pretty common-sense approach to their decorating scheme. In addition to using pieces they've brought to the White House and their collection of African and Asian art, the Obamas will decorate with affordable, reasonably priced retailers, such as Pottery Barn.
According to the magazine article, the family plans to "furnish Malia and Sasha's rooms with items from Anthropologie and Pottery Barn."
The Obamas, who are known for their modern, elegant, yet casual style (which totally fits with decorator Smith's style), should add a great punch of 21st century verve to the capital. I can't wait to see what they do!

Love the Telly ottoman...
1I love it. I could see the girls loving these rooms. I adore that tree chandelier.
2i think of pottery barn kids as being on the expensive end, and target as "affordable". they have cute things at PBK's, just saying.
3likety split I agree with you. I have 4 children, I don't think of Pottery Barn as a "reasonably priced" retailer. Their items are cute, but not priced for the average family imo.
4I love just about everything at Anthropologie!
5Considering what furniture brands the Obamas could probably have used to decorate the White House, these are pretty down-to-earth selections. (Also — those kids are so cute it kills me!)
