    It’s going to look tacky. You’ve seen what he’s done to the Oval Office. It’ll be $230M for that slap-dash look of awful design populated with gilded nonsense to try seem classy.

      I call it “dollar store-baroque,” that act of taking a piece of furniture, painting it white (or sometimes black) and sticking a bunch of golden trims and floral decorations on it. It’s what people with little money and less taste get/do when they want their place to look classy. So of course Trump is doing it to the White House.

      What did he do to the Oval Office? I’m not sure I could picture it before but I certainly haven’t seen it recently.
