Every now and then you see design that looks fresh, modern, classic and timeless all at once. Shaun Smith, an interior designer from New Orleans, seems to embody all those qualities in his work. Against beautiful white walls, each space has eye-catching detail. His incorporation of antiques, mixed in with modern accessories and clean lines, lends itself to an ideal juxtaposition of style.
