The White House is getting a makeover - well, at least two of the rooms! First Lady Michelle Obama is working with L.A.-based designer Michael Smith to get help in furnishing her daughters' rooms and plans to decorate them with Pottery Barn!
Have you seen Pottery Barn's girl's bedroom furniture and bedding? So adorable and affordable - yes, even for families who don't live in the White House!
Smith says he'll blend the Obama's "casual style" with "afforable brands."
Malia, 10, and Sasha, 7, will have some traditional decor, added with their likes and preferences. Malia is currently reading the Twilight book series, so perhaps she'll get to incorporate that into her bedroom. And the fith-grader wants to do her homework at the desk where Abraham Lincoln wrote the Emancipation Proclamation!
Despite having a designer help her with the girls' rooms, Mrs. Obama plans to keep her daughters grounded and keep a normal, family routine. Family friend Kim Lightford said just because they have a White House staff, doesn't mean they don't do regular family things.
"We'll see Michelle and the girls in the White House kitchen, trying to bake something together, and her raising them as if they were still in Chicago."
It's nice that the Obamas plan to keep things real, especially their parenting. Refreshing!
