House of the day: 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

It’s Inauguration day and at Design Lines we’re celebrating the start of something new!

I rang in 2009 by painting my bedroom a new color, Stephanie & Lauren purchased headboards, and Judy hung some new art in her Master Bedroom. Why not consider some fresh new lighting for your space or fun throw pillows for the sofa or a new nightstand in the bedroom? Art for the foyer?

This week Domino magazine released the exclusive story of the Obamas‘ selection of California-based designer Michael Smith as White House Decorator. Click here for the details, we believe the final design will have an impact on almost all American households.
Be sure to take this fun white house poll (in honor of the rare white flurries outside) and decide which administration you think did it best!

Also, don’t miss Nick Olsen’s blog for some intriguing close-up images & discussion of White House interiors. My favorite? Jackie Kennedy’s interpretation of the West Sitting Hall, below:

Happy Inauguration day to you, too!
