On June 15, Barack Obama telephoned Spains King Juan Carlos to bid him farewell and congratulate him on his reign. The US president was in California at the time, staying with his good friends James Costos and Michael Smith, respectively the US ambassador to Spain and his partner. Together from their official residence-cum-art gallery and meeting point in central Madrid, the former television industry executive and the interior decorator have brought a breath of fresh air to US diplomacy in Spain.
The reception area of the US ambassador's official residence in Madrid is dominated by four paintings: a six-meter-square work by Robert Rauschenberg; facing it is another large-format piece, by Roy Lichtenstein; off to the left is Screaming in Spanish, by another Pop Art doyen, Edward Ruscha; and opposite that is a delicate watercolor on rice paper by the reclusive Agns Martin.
The choice of works is no coincidence, nor does it respond to some kind of decorative requirement. The paintings have been chosen very carefully, and should perhaps be seen as a kind of homage to cultural fusion; very much a declaration of intent by the two men who moved in here 10 months ago.
Costos is an atypical ambassador, not just because he is gay, vegetarian, and a vocal proponent of animal rights, but also because of his background: he is a former director of US cable channel HBO, responsible for global hits such as The Sopranos and Game of Thrones. Michael Smith, his partner of some 15 years, is an internationally renowned interior decorator.
When the president asks you to join his administration, in an official capacity, the only possible answer is yes
Both men made significant financial contributions to Barack Obamas election campaign, and both know just about everybody in Hollywood: Michael Smith has decorated Cindy Crawford and Steven Spielbergs homes, while Michelle Obama tasked him with refurbishing the Oval Office in the White House. Since their arrival in the Spanish capital, an invite to their official residence has been much coveted by anybody who is anybody.
But dont be deceived into thinking that either of the pair are in any way frivolous. Like all good Americans, Costos and Smith are cordial, unpretentious hosts. They form an efficient couple. The ambassador is a political sciences graduate, and Smith an art expert. They are both from the competitive and implacable world of high-level business, where annual results leave little room for frivolity. They both take their work very seriously.
I never thought about being an ambassador,explains Costos. When the president asks you to join his administration, in an official capacity, the only possible answer is yes. Thats why I accepted: because he asked me. I had a fantastic career at HBO, and a wonderful life with Michael in California.
There is a long-established tradition in US politics of presidents rewarding the people who help finance campaigns with ambassadorial posts. And according to The New York Times, Costos and Smith raised around $3.4 million for Obama. So what has the State Departments response been to another outsider? I think that it is precisely because of this mix of profiles that the system works so well. Career ambassadors do a fantastic job, they give their lives to their work. Michael and I are not from the world of diplomacy, but this task is also about attitude. It is about building relationships, about working together, and about reaching mutually beneficial agreements.
Both know Spain well, and have visited several times in recent years. That said, Costos arrival came at a difficult time, shortly after Edward Snowdens revelations about the mass spying carried out by the National Security Agency (NSA). In October 2013, Costos was summoned to the Spanish Foreign Ministry to provide an explanation. Not an easy start for somebody with no formal diplomatic experience, I point out.

Sage Consignment is among the new businesses to open recently on Howard Avenue in Kensington.
Michel Huebner lives in Bethesda, but her store is in Kensington, the same town where she shopped as a child with her mother, an interior decorator.
Sage, Huebners furniture consignment store, opened about six years ago in Kensington, but moved to the towns Antique Row downtown more than two years ago when a space opened up.
Our business went up 33 percent by moving onto Antique Row, Huebner said. Its just a different feel and community when you cross over Connecticut Avenue, because were centered right next to the neighborhood.
The grocery store and a Saturday morning farmers market draw hundreds of people to downtown Kensington, near the towns MARC train station. In October, Huebner launched Sage Style next door to her consignment store. Sage Style specializes in vintage clothing, jewelry and accessories from the 1930s through 70s.
Huebner said the young couples buying homes in the area like the Mad Men style, and others come in to reminisce about the mid-century era and maybe pick up a small piece that brings back memories. The store also offers some new pieces that mesh well with the vintage styles.
We really try and stock funky finds that you probably cant get anywhere else, she said.
Modern Mobler at Kensington, an outpost of a Washington, D.C., furniture store, sells vintage home goods and furniture out of a space it shares with Sage Style. The two are among about a dozen businesses to open in downtown Kensington in the past year, according to Monica Soladay, who does public relations work for the town.
On June 14, Urban Thrift became the latest business to open its doors in downtown Kensington. The upscale thrift store sells clothes, furniture, jewelry and other items to raise money for The Arc Montgomery County, a Rockville nonprofit that supports people affected by intellectual and developmental disabilities.
