The White House private quarters will be gussied up by interior designer Michael Smith. The dude has decorated the homes of Steven Spielberg, Dustin Hoffman and Michelle Pfeiffer.
Smith is big into antiques that feel "airy and family friendly" -- whatever that means.
So look at the gallery and tell us....

Sarah Palin ROCKS and her daughter Bristol has nothing to do with this.

32. I would LOVE to see them go a little on the Modern, or at least Contemporary, side. The way the White House has been decorated the last 100 years is just gross. Lets MODERNIZE the place!

33. So what if they spend money to redecorate. This guy is walking into the hardest job there is - at least he should be entitled to change those stupid couches and lamps! Who could be inspired when they're looking at grandmas old furniture and wallpaper??

36. It amazes me how many of you have visited thr Bush White House. You all seem to know exactly how it is furnished.
Tell me were you there for a weekend, week or just for dinner? What is the kitchen like? Please one of you very important people fill me in.

37. Everyone that thinks Vern is a talented designer know nothing about design. Michael Smith’s book "houses" was a good read and his design is tasteful and is perfect for the White House

38. In Response to OK,
Their are many who find fault in the Obama's family simply because of their race; that is a fact. Given this, I am sure the Obamas and his supporters are use to double standards and double talk regarding his presidency. People always resist change.

RACE? Are you kidding me the man is half black and half white!! He jusk doesn't acknowledge the white part, and by doing this he is lying about who he is. Welcome to reality, 50% BLACK and 50% WHITE that is a FACT!
I for one welcome change, but from what I have seen so far, it is just more of the same. A whole lot of spending.

39. ANOTHER WAY FOR THE DEMOCRATS TO SPEND OUR TAX MONEY...ON DECORATORS AND DECORATIONS INSTEAD OF LEAVING THINGS THE WAY THEY ARE AND TRY TO HELP THE ECONOMY!!!!

40. To the person posting as "OK"
THE PRESIDENT-ELECT IS
50% WHITE AND 50% BLACK
AMERICA'S FIRST MIXED RACE PRESIDENT WILL TAKE OFFICE
HE IS NOT BLACK, HE IS NOT WHITE HE IS OF MIXED RACE!
Please stop calling him black, because he is not.

41. WOW, our hard earned tax dollas at work! We should all receive a pro-rated tax deduction..
Screw balls!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted at 8:50PM on Jan 13th 2009 by Who Caresss!!!
42. Hey #41 -
How dare you? How dare you dare you speak the truth? The truth has nothing to do with Nobama.
It doesn't matter that this guy has wavered on virtually every campaign promise, but because he is a mulatto - he's cool.
Make's me sick!

43. To 50/50. Those of us who are familiar with America's history realizes that society often times chooses or forces a person to choose his/her biracial identify. During early times, anyone with more than 1/4 of black heritage was considered black. In addition, society often labor a person according to his/her features. Simiarly, often time biracial Native Americans may have to proof their level of Indian heritage to receive certain government priviledges alloted for Native Americans.

44. You should have a third answer that says SUPER SUCKS. That crap looks like it belong in a McMansion, the likes of which got our whole country into this recession anyway. SUCKS SUCKS SUCKS. its making so mad I want to puke damask all over this guys face. Whatever damask is. We're in a recession -- less is more people. even it's a $15,000 dining chair from Design Within in Reach - at least it LOOKS like less. Which is the whole idea. JEEZ. SUCKS.
