I think some may miss this because, let's face it....we may not have the desire or the funds during this economy to get every magazine we want to. But I didn't want you all to miss an article about the incredible Michael S. Smith. So I am suggesting that you may want to take a look at Architectural Digest this month.

Michael Smith has designed a house in Rancho Mirage, California....just outside Palm Springs, and it is not what one might expect of a desert house. No Brat Pack terrazzo. No Hollywood glam.

Michael has his own take on things. A bit of quiet comfort. Luxury, yes...but not one of those places where you have to keep your feet off the couch.

I never tire of his style.
Not a lot to add to the AD article....just passing it along.

Also...check out the section shown on the cover "Shop Like a Designer". Well, most of us can't really shop like this, but it is fun never-the-less to see where the top guns shop. There is a very comprehensive source list at the very back of the magazine with websites. So thanks, AD, for that!

That looks like a beautiful home...WHAT is that behind the table? A painting...a print...a curtain? Any clue?
Hi Linda!
Funny you should ask! It is a 1958 painting by Morris Louis called "7 Bronze". Michael says it "creates another window in the space"....so you were right to wonder!
ooh i just bought this mag this morning and NOW i cant wait to devour it! thanks for the great pictures....
that home is amazing.
I read this yesterday. A marvelous issue. Much better than their usual, I thought!
His work is fantastic and much to be admired and studied. I've also heard he just used some of Suzanne Kasler's Candler Beds in a recent project...nice clean lines.
Katie - thanks so much for the heads up- I would have missed this and been sorry.
Im drooling over that canopy bed. Im not usually into fabric on a canopy bed, but that bed is gorge!!
Katie,
Thanks for this heads up. I don't typically read AD so I''m glad you shared. Will get a copy.
Thanks for the gorgeous pictures. Love the style :)
-Wilhelmiina-
all too often, my copy of AD sits on the sideboard in the office and rarely gets read. bless you for the head's up. I am a well-documented fan of wondrously talented Mr. Smith . . . I can't wait to see a new project.
Cheers,
Scot
Amazing rooms!
The windows in no 2 and generally love everything in pic 3!
Thanks for tip about the article.. Will check out though not a regular reader of AD.
Have a lovely end to the week.

So perfectly understated. I wonder who the clients were? They also must have great taste and international experience. Love this style. The credenza/sideboard in the first photo is great. Thanks for the heads-up.
We get AD at the office but seems we're not patient enough to read it. But the designer mini-mag? So excited to get that! Worth picking up for that alone! Marija
Linda, yes that really got my attention! I love Morris Louis's art works . The periwinkle gray chairs are fab!!

Hi Katie... I adore Michael Smith's work...as you can tell from my blog. I just reposted my first first blog, which was about Michael Smith one post ago. I have this AD magazine, but haven't looked through it yet... now I can't wait! Thanks!
Katie,
The second photo...that table base is awesome. Do like the sofa at the end of bed. Going to measure and start looking.
Lovely post. Thank you.

Enjoyed this post - will look at AD, this month. I like those simple yellow panels in photo 2.

Thanks for the heads up. Mine is under a stack of papers on my desk....I'll have to pull it out tonight after my daughter is in bed!
Katie,
Thank you so much for sharing this! Michael is a great artist isn't it?
Great post!
