As one family leaves, another one enters. Now that President Obama has been sworn in and all the ceremonial stuff is done, the real work begins, re-designing the white house rooms. This monumental task falls on the shoulders of the new first lady Michelle Obama. This is a normal right of passage for all first ladies, to inject their own style and charm, and to make the white house feel more like a home, especially with young children.There hasn't been small children living in the white house since the Kennedy administration.The first lady has quite the job ahead of her, working with the chief usher's office at the white house and trying to do all this on only a $100,000 budget, and keep in mind there is a total of 132 rooms in the White House. Of these, thirty-five are bathrooms; eleven are bedrooms; three kitchens; three dining rooms; one library;one bowling alley and 28 fire places, but not all rooms are going to be re-done. She has hired acclaimed interior designer Micheal.S.Smith, the same designer that has worked with super model Cindy Crawford.
Knowing the Obama family there will be a lot of new and interesting pieces and an infusion of pop culture. New photo's have not yet been released of the changes, I will keep you posted when they are.
