Michael Smith's new book on Kitchens and Baths

Michael Smith, interior designer with notable clients such as the Obamas and Steven Spielberg, recently released his latest book on kitchens and baths. We have enjoyed his plumbing and tile collection for some time now, so it was about time that he wrote a book sharing his projects. 

Michael stopped by the Merchandise Mart last week for a book signing, and we were lucky enough to attend. It's a great book with lots of beautiful photos and fantastic descriptions of each of the projects that are detailed within the book. We definitely recommend adding it to your library! 




Here are some photos of his kitchen and bath work. Enjoy!

Online Design Magazines

Design magazines may be disappearing off the newsstands...but they are quickly popping up online!


These are just a few of the online magazines that are out there. They read just like any other magazine...except you flip through them online!

What is so great about these magazines is that they cover a wide range of styles. But what we love even more is that they are compleltely interactive! When flipping through, do you find yourself needing that sofa? Well- just click on the picture and they tell you where to purchase it! It can't get much easier than that!

Another plus is that all of these magazines have extensive photo galleries of projects they have featured.








Definitely check out these magazines not only for the beautiful rooms but for designer inspiration as well!

Enjoy!
