Trump Gives Oval Office New Look with Gold Drapes
« on: January 21, 2017, 11:38:47 pm »

The Oval Office was redecorated with gold drapes just in time for President Trump’s arrival at the White House Friday.

The drapes were a change from the crimson drapes former President Obama had in his Oval Office, the Hill reported.

The change was first spotted as Trump signed executive orders on Obamacare and other things as his initial major acts as President.

The couches and other furniture seemed to be different, but the Resolute Desk, which has been in place for decades, remained, ABC News reported.

Trump also returned a bust of former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill to the Oval Office. Obama had removed it to make room for a bust of civil rights activist Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Trump also displays the MLK bust in his office; it sits on a small wooden desk.

Most presidents use furnishings already in the White House collection to decorate the Oval Office, according to the White House Historical Association.

Reagan went with both gold and 'crimson'.  Bush went with gold. Clinton went with yellow.

Nothing to see here.

Guess you're wrong.

This is, under any criteria, a trivial matter..
Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

"Sometimes I think the Church would be better off if we would call a moratorium on activity for about six weeks and just wait on God to see what He is waiting to do for us. That's what they did before Pentecost."   - A. W. Tozer

Use the time God is giving us to seek His will and feel His presence.

The gold is actually pretty classic for the Oval Office decor, especially the classic sunburst. I like the blue edging that he chose. It actually looks pretty good considering the visuals of the office.

I believe these are the same design and color that Bill Clinton used without the blue trim.



President Bush went with an off-white similar to President Reagan.
JFK had a blue.
Obama had a different shade of gold, and maroon.
LBJ, stark white.

My wife just said many people today have done away with carpet all together, or they just leave a few runners.  It is easier to decorate that way.   :shrug:

Personally I'm going to take issue with the colors of that rug.  Might want to change that, too...

From what I gather, removing all the carpet creates hardwood exposure.

I'm not real wild about the reddish color drapes, nor the paint-by-number artwork on the walls. (Pay no attention to the dead little white boy on the sofa).

The 'paint by numbers' paintings were by Edward Hopper, one of the most important landscape artists of the early 20th century.  In addition to those, Obama kept the famous George Washington painting an added the Statue of Liberty by Normal Rockwell.
