Please meet the new addition to the team, Joshua Donovan Smith, Chief Cuteness Officer (CCO). This role has been created just for him as he brings so much to the company with his 3.5 months of experience on earth. He’s great at:
•Getting your attention.
•Falling asleep during car rides.
•Talking and making sounds.
•Hanging out at the office while mama works.
•And being very, very cute.
We hope within the next 2 years he’ll grow into helping with samples inventory and making complete sentences.
If you want to see how he’s grown with the Beth Diana Smith Interior Design team, just swipe for more info.
Please welcome Joshua to the team. 👶🏽🩵
PS - Any tips and tricks for new mom’s welcome. 🤗

I have a deep craving for red wine that I can’t seem to shake today. So it felt right to revisit my Wine Lounge from the 2024 Kips Bay New York Showhouse, a space designed to linger, unwind, and savor every detail.
Comment your favorite wine below, inspire me to take a trip to get a bottle (or two). 🍷

I was so wrapped up in all things baby this past November and December that I didn’t share this feature in my hometown of Montclair, New Jersey. Thank you @montclairlocalnonprofitnews for this feature of me and this renovation of one of Montclair’s century old homes!
See bio for link to full article. ❤️

Details in design always matter.
When I spotted the Naga Side Table and Stacked Horn Table Lamp by @jamieyoungco at Fall 2024 High Point Market, I knew they were destined for this space. The beautifully carved mango wood detail of the Naga paired with the sculptural strength of the lamp adds visual interest and texture—those thoughtful moments that spark conversation and the inevitable “Where did you get this?”
It’s these intentional choices that bring a space to life. ❤️
PS - Am I the only one obsessed with carved wood?

NEW CHAPTER LOADING…
I’ve held various titles — business owner, designer, Godmother — but now I’m preparing for a new and special one: Mother.
I’m officially on maternity leave. Admittedly it’s not easy stepping back from my first baby, Beth Diana Smith Interior Design, and entrusting her to someone else’s hands. But I know that taking this time to slow down, nest, and prepare is exactly what I’m meant to do.
Baby Joshua is expected to arrive in the next couple of weeks, and awaiting his arrival has me flooded with feelings, thoughts, and million other things. But overall, I am grateful. 💚

🚪 Before & After: Powder Room ✨
This powder room used to be…forgettable (and very beige). Now she’s black and white, dressed with brass hardware, and finished with an unexpected tile floor. Zoom in and to spot the ladies gracing the tile. 💁🏽♀️
