President Donald Trump recently revealed the completion of a significant renovation to the Lincoln Bedroom bathroom at the White House. This update follows a series of renovations aimed at modernizing and personalizing the historic residence.
Lincoln Bathroom Renovation Details
The Lincoln Bedroom bathroom, originally renovated in the 1940s, featured an art deco green tile style. Trump criticized this design, claiming it was not representative of the Lincoln Era. He announced that he replaced it with polished black and white Statuary marble, asserting that this choice is more fitting for the time of Abraham Lincoln.
Bathroom Features
- Updated in black and white Statuary marble
- Gold detailing on faucet and shower handle
- Presidential seal on a plush white robe
- Decorative fixtures that enhance the grandeur of the space
Photos showcasing the renovation were shared on Truth Social while Trump was traveling on Air Force One to Florida. He claimed that the improvements were necessary to reflect the historical significance of the room, which he described as “absolutely gorgeous.”
Broader Renovation Efforts
This bathroom renovation is part of Trump’s larger efforts to modify the White House. Previous projects include paving over the historic Rose Garden and demolishing the East Wing to create a new ballroom. These changes are designed to accommodate official events more comfortably.
Additional Projects
Trump also provided an update on construction at the Kennedy Center, highlighting the completion of exterior columns and ongoing renovations, including:
- High-end carpeting installation
- New seating and fabrics
- Restoration of the overall facade
According to the president, these improvements have revitalized the venue, which he described as “dead as a doornail.” Trump emphasized his desire to restore the White House and its surrounding areas as part of his administration’s legacy.
Future Plans
Trump’s agenda includes ambitious plans for a new arch monument in Washington, DC, celebrating the nation’s 250th anniversary. Recently, he dismissed members of the Commission of Fine Arts and appointed allies to the National Capital Planning Commission, which will oversee upcoming renovation approvals.
As the renovations continue, Trump remains committed to integrating his vision into the White House, aiming to leave a lasting impact on its historical and aesthetic landscape.
