Here for this Thursday's Style Source Faves, we're sticking with our Inaugural/Presidential theme, and suggesting a style book written by the Obama's new interior designer, Michael S. Smith.

The LA based Mr. Smith is well known in design circles, and enjoys a celebrated clientèle.  And this is one busy, and prolific, guy!  Besides designing interiors, he has his own signature furniture and fabric lines, and also designs rugs.

We loved how his design philosophy was described: mix classic with contemporary.  Oh yeah, always a good thing!

Here's the latest style book by Michael Smith, Houses.  It can be purchased from his website and, as always, from Amazon.



(Mr. Smith is actually the author of two design books.  The first: Elements of Style.)
