Why did it take $2 million to redecorate one room? Was the furniture hand-carved and custom-built one-of-a-kind? Were the carpets specially woven of pure gold and silver threads? Were the chairs upholstered from skin of unborn chamois? If not, then why $2 million?

It looks like a place where Obama can take a nap.
And, why not take a nap? He is just exhausted from all the vacations, lobster dinners and redecorating the oval office - whew! And, isn’t all the heavy lifting over? The man’s entitled to a little nap/s

I am reminded of my father...he was known for wearing navy with brown shoes. My mother used to have a fit every time he would do that. I think Dad did it deliberately just to annoy Mom.

It looks to me like zer0 set up the two arm chairs to be in the "echo spot" so that he can hear whoever is sitting there from his desk even if they are whispering and think he can't hear them.
Every oval room has the same acoustical phenomenon at the foci (right, you FR engineers out there?)

It appears that Michelle had nothing to do with the change.

I had read his redecorations were to the tune of 2 millions dollars, such a waste from someone who barely spends any time there.”
He won’t be there very much longer, either.
Sure is a gigantic display from Barry & Michelle that THEY are getting THEIR reparations, isn’t it.

They drained all the light from the room.
Just like they have done to the rest of the country.
To: Protect the Bill of Rights
The beautiful architectural features of this room, the original paintings and classic furniture, and obozo/co. comes up with a navy/brown/beige color scheme. The room looks dull, and the furniture looks like rental.
With all their resources, they could have done better. Thank God Manchelle didn't have a free hand at decorating..remember the black liberation red/black widow spider colors of the dress she wore in Chicago post-inaugeration?
But, most of all, this country is in a recession/depression and this selfish, insensitive socialist decides to re-decorate....

I agree.
The wallpapered doors really stand out.....you expect them to start “peeling” from the edge of the doors any minute.....
But, I really thought it was gonna be worse.
Purple and green stripes.
