If you missed the Today Show this morning here’s a look at the segment on decorating the Obama White House which features sound bites from Domino Editor-in-Chief Deborah Needleman plus an interview with Elle Décor Editor-in-Chief Margaret Russell. The segment provides an overview of White House décor in recent years along with background on America's new “Decorator-in-Chief” Michael Smith. Enjoy!…
Since the election of Barack Obama as America’s next President, rumors have been swirling in the design community about who the Obamas were going to hire as decorator for their private quarters in the White House.
