George H.W. Bush Redecoration
In 1991 during the George H.W. Bush administration the room was repainted a soft yellow, the pier table was replaced with an empire style sofa and the two federal style sofas replaced by a pair of lolling chairs. The striped gold and blue drapery was replaced with striped silk damask in blue and cream.

Famous quotes containing the word bush:
“...I remembered the rose bush that had reached a thorny branch out through the ragged fence, and caught my dress, detaining me when I would have passed on. And again the symbolism of it all came over me. These memories and visions of the poor—they were the clutch of the thorns. Social workers have all felt it. It holds them to their work, because the thorns curve backward, and one cannot pull away.”
—Albion Fellows Bacon (1865–1933)
