A near-finished renovation of the White House's West Wing brought in new art and furniture, including "a lot more eagles," an interior designer told a group of reporters during a tour Wednesday.
A dozen 19th century engraved chairs with claw feet are scattered throughout rooms and halls in the reoccupied office wing, and perched in the large Roosevelt Room are two eagle carvings that are more than three feet tall.
"In terms of eagles as a motif, you're going to start seeing a lot more eagles throughout the West Wing— it's a very patriotic symbol," said designer John Botello, a preservation specialist who worked on the project.

Oh, no! Is the African “art” being taken down? It was so homey, charming and patriotic.
Yeah right.
Moochie was more interested on planning her next vacay rather than making sure Our House was in spit-spot shape.
I read another article here earlier today about renovations at the White House. Hoping that they were done within budget and at a reasonable cost to the taxpayer. Renovations to 24 Sussex Drive (the Prime Minister’s residence since about 1948) are going on up here and how much and length of time have been subjects of considerable debate.
The Bald Eagle is sacred to ‘Native Americans’ so use of the Eagle by the oppressor government must be stopped immediately and Eagles must be extinguished from the planet so no one can appropriate NA culture by using them in any fashion, especially as a symbol.
You are not serious are you?
It’s a hoot to watch Trump and how he’s has and still is changing the White House. If I were in there I’d have tried a few things he hasn’t yet, but for the most part I’d have been doing exactly what he is. Further, if I knew what the reasons are for him not doing some things, I might have been even closer to his actions.
He’s the CEO and has all the experience in leadership. I’m so glad he’s there and not me.
Pretty happy about this whole thing, except the dynamics surrounding Congress and it’s failure to live up to it’s duty.
Lots of pond scum over there.
If there were in the White House there’d be a real increase in sparrows over there.
Let’s put ‘Oriental’. Just to mess with them!

You kept taking me to all those Spanish restaurants.
Wanna go to The Gap?

Pics of the WH renovations looked really nice. They got rid of that ugly O crap.
In a related story, the White House announced its first garage sale. An unidentified official stated that items too garish to be sold will be donated to a local landfill.
Hopefully the NSA, CIA, and FBI listening devices and cameras have been removed.
Loved the comment about no statue in Charlottesville
Eagles are good. Always appropriate.
More eagles and less bugs.
African Art - all that’s needed to repair a damaged sculpture would be a Tootsie Roll. (H/T) “Fraiser”
Eagles are far more acceptable than the buzzards which occupied the rooms for so long a time.
Stains? On the wallpaper? In the Oval Office?
What in heck did the Obama-ites do in there? It's not as if the Oval Office is a dining room. Did they let their kids throw food on the walls?
Actually it wouldn't be surprising if they did. We've already seen Barry Soetoro deliberately posing for the photographer with his feet propped atop the Resolute Desk (and also sitting his butt on it). Those pictures were an "in your face" to traditional Americans, both black and white, who love and respect our White House.
