After three weeks of renovations, the Trump Oval Office is complete and the last remnants of the Obama era have been removed. Gone are the striped wall paper and suede couches, replaced by more neutral solid walls and off-white jacquard couches.
Perhaps most notable are the addition of U.S. military flags that now surround the presidential desk. During the Obama years there were only two flags in the office of the Commander in Chief – none of them military. POTUS Trump has brought in several more stars and stripes than his predecessor, as well as flags representing each branch of the military.
Mr. Trump also had the Obama rug removed and in its place is the same rug used by President Ronald Reagan. The only thing the same is the Resolute Desk, first used by President John F. Kennedy and several presidents to follow.(Which Mr. Obama would sometimes put his feet on.)
Here is the Obama Oval Office: (Which many noted was perhaps the most “feminine” of Oval Offices and which Mr. Obama actually rarely used – except for prepared photo shoots. He favored a second-floor private study that was just down the hall from Valerie Jarrett’s office(s) )

I like the new wallpaper, the drapes (classic), and the flags. The new rug is elegant.
Laughable!
The OVAL OFFICE look AMERICAN with the addition of the flags!
STARS & STRIPES FOREVER!
And portraits of Jefferson and Jackson have replace those two ugly “paintings”.
I’m sure they have buffed out Obama’s shoe scuff marks on the desk.
Hate the new drapes,too gaudy.
The new flags are the bomb. And using Reagan’s rug is outstanding! Is that the bust of Churchill, the one Obama removed, over to the left?
Target through the window?
gasp! A slaveowner and a racist!
>>>Which Mr. Obama would sometimes put his feet on<<<
So did President George Bush. Just sayin’...
You know Obozo was filthy when they’re talking about food stains appearing on Obozo’s installed wallpaper, and that the whole place was infested by roaches.
Glad we got the filth out.
No, just elegant and traditional. The blue piping is masculine, goes with the blue flags. And they are better than the old. Did Obama really ave suede sofas? Yuck!
Just hope they got all the “bugs” removed, not just the roaches.
Very traditional.
“Just hope they got all the “bugs” removed, not just the roaches.”
Can you even imagine the creatures that crawled out of Michelle’s hair... or whatever?
Very nice. Especially like the new drapes and additional flags. The old wallpaper also reminded me of a striped popcorn box, glad that was changed as well.
You may not like the drapes, but they fit the style and dignity of the house. Obama’s version was just a cheap knock-off.
For Obama, the only thing it was good for was to rest his feet on the desk.
