Windsor Smith Home is the culmination of the extensive travel and the eclectic talent of founder Windsor Smith. A lover of treasures, traditions and architecture of the past, she has expanded from collector to one of the leading talents in the interior design and restoration of some of the finest estates in Brentwood, Bel Air and Beverly Hills.

Windsor's true notoriety stems from her love of creating timeless homes for her clients who share her love for classic detail... crown moldings, wainscotings, and cabinets that are crafted more like furniture. She uses old bricks with "weepy" mortar to surround fireplaces and creates clerestories to splash light into ordinary hallways. She once showed up at the glassmaker to ensure that the leaded windows on one of her projects "wobbled" as they would have in the past. "It is rumored that I come in at night and engrave my initials on every nail head of my projects. But it's not true: I am up thumbing through out-of-print architecture books or reading about our legendary women of style... Elsie De Wolfe, Slim Keith, Babe Paley... I draw inspiration from the armchairs they are reclining on, in their country homes. My eye travels to the crystal girandoles on the mantel they are leaning against, or the moss-covered garden statuary their horse is riding past." said Smith.

"I like to create libraries where men with names like Howard, Bing and Spencer sat in cashmere sweaters and contemplated the 13th hole on the Bel Air golf course. I am drawn to a simple but elegant time when the women were so legendary that surnames weren't necessary.... Slim, Babe, Coco...", Smith says as she twists a sterling pen on the palest aqua velvet ribbon that once belonged to the Duchess of Windsor. "I'm so fortunate. Imagine... a career that beckons me to blend architecture and style with the romance of history.... I can't think of anything more delicious."
