traditional. I want to know what his plans will be for the Yellow Oval Room on the second floor of the residential quarters. This room dates back to before the Roosevelt days... not Franklin, but Teddy. I'd love to see it come more fashion forward... It may be hard, but I can wait.

This Michael S. Smith room is heaped in traditional
style yet it isn't heavy. The color pallet is light and sophisticated.

over administrations.
President Obama isn't changing the Oval office decor...at least
not now...stay tuned
Outgoing First Lady Laura Bush invites incoming First Lady Michelle Obama
to tour the White House. The fan window makes a beautiful focal point but the feel of
the west hall sitting room could use an update....2008

I can't seem to get enough of these White House pictures! I don't think I had ever seen a picture of the private quarters of the WH before last week.
I think it is prudent of Obama to keep the oval office decor the same for now...it makes him seem like he is conscious of not spending unnecessarily. Aside from those Western style sculptures (the artist's name is escaping me), I think the decor is quite beautiful and neutral, and certainly not out of date. I think the rug is the nicest one yet (out of the past several administrations).
Fay - you found more photos than I did! Wonder why we don't see more of the private quarters?

I'm really excited about this even though I'm not American! It'll be very interesting to see the result of this collaboration.
You found some really great images, love them, thanks for the tour (and for dropping by my blog)!
