Oval There!
The Oval Office has a new look! Revamped while the first family was on vacation, updates to the office include new furniture, paint, and wallpaper, all in more neutral, brown and taupe colors.

BUSH:

This brief video shows the evolution of the Klippan (although, sadly, it doesn’t feature the traffic-cone orange version that graced my first post-collegiate apartment circa 2001).
