Beige is fitting - let’s hope that it’s a sign that this administration is moving into the Autumn of its presidency. It certainly doesn’t evoke an image of “America the Beautiful”.

Depends on your age I think. I remember when they were divans, then couches, now sofas.
I called my 88 yr old aunt the other day to tell her I would be visiting. She said “well I guess I can pull out the divan”. lol I am sure it is one of those hideous things that the back folds down on. rofl

No, it doesn’t. Any motel that cheap doesn’t have suites.

Did you notice the wrinkles on the sofa skirts? That’s a sure sign of poor (or cheap) workmanship. Probably cost a fortune though...wonder if kickbacks were involved.

I find these colors muddy and depressing. Also, they should have asked Michelle’s advice and left the sofa’s arms uncovered to show how well buffed they were.

I am pleasantly surprised by the decor. I like it. It is calm and peaceful, not boring and dull. It is an office remember not your den at home. I fully expected something as ghastly as MO’s wardrobe, thankfully the 1st lady was not involved with the decision making.

I like the color scheme. I like sages, beiges and rusts. Yep they are my living room colors.
Well...nobody ever accused me of being flamboyant with color either. :)

Loews or Home Depot or Sears. It’s always an option.

Better than having no Oval Office rug at all?

No kidding. Just a personal preference, but the yellow would kill me. I would be curled up on one of those sofas and tell the secretary to hold all appointments.
But if I were President, I would be so scared I would probably be drunk most of the time. So the yellow carpets would hide the stains.

The coffee table needs to be in an apartment, it does not belong in the oval office. Otherwise, the rest is bland but OK, IMHO.

The striped wallpaper completely overpowers everything else in the room. The stripes are way too wide.
Ugly! Am abomination has been performed on the people’s house.
