Change comes to the West Wing!
( and has Nothing to do with Robb Low )
While the First Family was off enjoying a grand old pink and green time in Edgartown, the make over elves went all beige and khaki on the Oval Office.
Ya'll know very little on the planet gets me going like a little upstairs/downstairs at the White House!
This is what it looked like last week, the GWB Oval Office, with its famous starburst of hope rug. Not a very good picture, so google if you have some interest, and really, WHO wouldn't ?
The New Look!
Crazy about it all, except maybe the coffee table.
It is a working office folks, if you want cabbage roses and bright colors
hit the family floors!
LOVE the stripped wallpaper, esp over the doors.Love the shape of the sofas, maybe a little bit of color on the pillows wouldn't hurt.
The SEAL makes the room!
FULL STORY, from the NYT.

President Barlet's Oval Office
President Clinton's Oval Office.
I have ALWAYS LOVED that Childe Hassam painting, I wonder
where it is now. The faux Astor man is in jail, isn't he ?

I hate the sofas - but they go with the coffee "table." Who is responsible for this?
The rug is great. Paintings should move more frequently (they need their rest, too), but I love the Childe Hassam too and would keep it out! It is awfully vertical and stripey though for that wallpaper (which I think may be better in person - in photos it's doing weird things with the wooden floor).
that seal rug really ties the room together.
(but don't those sofas look a little too comfy for business?)
