What Is bsmith.com?
Updated
bsmith.com is the official website of B. Smith — Barbara "B." Elaine Smith (August 24, 1949 – February 22, 2020) — a restaurateur, magazine publisher, celebrity chef, and nationally known lifestyle maven. The site serves as a hub for her home decor and entertaining collections, her book, and her YouTube channel, rather than an online store where you buy products directly.
What the site covers
The homepage is organized around a few main areas:
- Home Decor & Entertaining Collections — Shoppable collections inspired by B.'s own style guides, developed by the same design team she curated and worked with for many years.
- A book — Before I Forget: The Book That Dared to Care.
- An "About B. and Dan" section — background on B. and Dan, with a "Learn More" link.
- A YouTube channel — promoted as new, with a "Watch & Subscribe Here" call to action.
The site's guiding line, attributed to B. Smith, is: "Whatever you do, do it with style!" Another quote featured on the page: "I've have stood on a mountain of no's for one yes."
How buying works
The collections are not sold directly on bsmith.com. Instead, the site directs visitors to retail partners to shop the B. Smith Home Decor & Entertaining Collections. If your goal is to purchase something, expect to follow a link out to a partner retailer rather than check out on the site itself.
Who it's for
- Shoppers looking for B. Smith–branded home decor and entertaining pieces, who will need to complete purchases through retail partners.
- Readers and viewers interested in her book or her YouTube channel.
- Visitors seeking background on B. Smith's life and work, including the memorial context noted on the page.
Practical notes
- The page includes a Subscribe option, so you can sign up for updates rather than checking back manually.
- Because the site functions as a brand and information hub, it's most useful as a starting point: browse the collections, then move to a retail partner to buy; or go to the YouTube channel to watch and subscribe.
