To help make the White House feel more like home, she hired interior designer Tham Kannalikham for the task in February, according to WWD.
"Mrs. Trump has a deep appreciation for the historical aspects of the White House and with Thams traditional design and expertise," Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, senior adviser to Melania Trump, first told WWD. "They are focusing on a seamless integration of elegance and comfort into where the President, the First Lady, and [their son] Barron will be spending their family time and calling their home."
Although it has not been confirmed as to how the pair became acquainted, WWD notes part of the appeal of Kannalikham who started her career with Ralph Lauren is that she keeps a low-profile in all aspects of her life, including her professional website since it's only accessible with a private client login. She was relatively an unknown figure until the announcement was made of her hire.
"I am honored by the opportunity to be working with the first lady to make the White House feel like home," Kannalikham said of her hiring in February.

I hate the idea of this tacky woman coating everything with gold leaf.
And normally, I don't comment on other women's appearance. I am sixty-eight years old and aging naturally. It is part of life. But when I look at Melania, I question why anyone calls her beautiful. I see nothing but artifice.
