I'm allowing myself to remodel the WH post Trump defilement.
First, a deep cleaning with Lysol. Much like the guy on TV who deep cleaned every time he flew on an airplane. A thorough cleansing for Democracy. I would like it filmed and shown in increments, to make it last.
Then, of course, I want the Rose garden redone with new, fresh, luscious flowers of all kinds. Take out the sculpture and concrete. A garden should be a garden. Call in the Four Seasons guys. They have experience with this sort of thing.
Then, I'd like trees planted to replace the trees that Melania had cut down. I'm still po'd about that. I favor pine trees, but any tree that will grow in the fresh, new climate will be acceptable. Trees of color will be cheerful, making for peaceful ambience around this important place.
I'd tend to throw out all gold-colored furniture and drapes. Throw out any gold thrones that are encountered. I favor warm, inviting, homey hues that invite you to sit right down and discuss what's on your mind, and not just put your money in the cash box. And, of course, I'd throw out all the cash boxes.
I'd put in a modern whole house music system, with maybe a diffuser for those times when it's just too tense. And, there should be a place to gather for barbeques and casual, how's by you, gatherings where good ideas for the national welfare are born. No fast food allowed.

New toilets for sure.

(35,658 posts)What about Trump's "portrait?" I don't think anyone wants to look at it, nor should they have to. Some ideas:
if it doesn't have to go in a specific spot (which it probably does), I would put it on the back door of the men's restroom.
If it does have to go in a specific spot, it should have a window shade over it. I know this might appear petty, so that probably won't fly.
I think the best thing to do with his portrait is "slow walk" it. Oh, it got lost in transit. Oh, we can't find anyone to hang it, so it has to be stored in the basement. Oh, someone tripped over it and ruined it. Have to get another one. By then he will be in prison and we shouldn't have to hang it.

It's an unofficial site, full of wonderful pictures back to the mid-1800s, and it's a serious time sink!
