First Lady Laura Bush did SUCH lovely job with the rug in the Oval Office...and throughout the rest of the house....just lovely. She has the good taste of my favs on HGTV - The short-haired blonde woman on Devine Design and Vern Nip....THIS is the ultimate compliment I could give her, too. She did a marvelous job of returning the most beautiful and respected home in our nation to its rightful look....classy and refined, yet wonderfully welcoming.
