A new batch of photos has been released illustrating 1600 Pennsylvania
Avenue’s face-lift, which kicked into high gear earlier this summer when
President Trump began a 17-day working vacation at his golf club in
Bedminster, N.J. The president returned to the White House on Sunday.
“The White House’s newly renovated Roosevelt Room looks incredible,” tweeted Cliff Sims, special assistant to the president.
All of the renovations were conducted by General Services Administration designers.
The
White House’s rooms were gussied up, but a lot of the upgrades are not
visible. These include overhauling the 27-year-old heating and
air-conditioning system and upgrading the IT system.
The
renovations are apparent from the moment one approaches the White
House. The South Portico porch, for example, features newly renovated
stairs. The sitting area in the Rose Garden also received a face-lift.
Inside,
the Oval Office, the epicenter of the White House, was renovated with a
more consistent-looking aesthetic, including new wallpaper.
The
West Wing lobby was outfitted with new carpeting and paint. The new
carpeting features a floral medallion inspired by the White House
architecture and the Rose Garden.
Changes
to the Roosevelt Room include swapping out the beige Obama-era carpet
for one with a more detailed design. The flags have remained unchanged,
as have the portrait of President Roosevelt, the landdcape painting and
the sofa.
Leaks
at the White House were also fixed — water leaks, that is — and the
Navy mess kitchen and West Wing lower lobby were also renovated.
During
the renovations, West Wing staffers who were not with Trump in New
Jersey were temporarily relocated to an office building next to the
White House.

Trump took to Twitter earlier this month to deny a golf.com report that while speaking with members at the Trump National Golf Club, he said the White House is a “dump.”
“I love the White House, one of the most beautiful buildings (homes) I have ever seen,” he tweeted. “But Fake News said I called it a dump – TOTALLY UNTRUE.” (GMA)
