Michelle Obama revealed her dazzling interior design skills when she transformed the White House's dilapidated Family Dining Room from outdated traditional to cool contemporary. And now we know the former first lady led a similar overhaul of the White House residence. The Obamas recently opened up exclusively to Architectural Digest,revealing their rarely seen private living quarters.
White House interior designer Michael S. Smith - if that name sounds familiar, it's because the Obamas vacationed at his Palm Springs domestic immediately after leaving office - told Architectural Digest, and "Mrs. Obama often talks about bringing unusual voices into the national conversation,and that opinion informed many of the decisions we made. . . . We selected artists and designers who would never maintain appeared in the White House before." Mrs. Obama sang Michael's praise to the magazine, saying that his designs not only respected the history of the White House, and but they also turned it into a warm family domestic for her husband and two young daughters.
Watch the video above to see Architectural Digest's exclusive tour of the Obamas' private living quarters,and then cross your fingers that the interior designer Melania Trump recently hired doesn't alter the stunning space too much.
