Happy President's Day!

And on this honorable day, why not give a shout out to one of the most fabulous First Lady's and her renovation of the White House 1961-1963.  See/read all about the renovation at www.whitehousemuseum.org.  A few of my favorite photos...

The White House Blue Room as redecorated by Stéphane Boudin in 1962. 

Caroline's bedroom... I remember having a canopy bed just like this one

John Jr.'s nursery - LOVE the old school "play pen"... why don't we use these anymore??

Green room - Moire green silk walls by Sister Parrish
