The White House decorations don’t take one’s breath away; they encourage visitors to breathe a bit easier.
They’re doing their best to serve as a visual and emotional respite from the bad news that sometimes feels so relentless that one wonders if the nation’s flags shouldn’t just remain at a permanent half-staff. They’re a break from the bad blood that has citizens looking at the folks across the fence line and calling them demons rather than neighbors.
They’re a counterpoint to the grandeur of the White House. They don’t take one’s breath away — although the sparkling East Colonnade, with its trees sprouting from snow banks, each branch glinting with tiny mirrored disks, is a magical and elegant welcome. The decorations encourage visitors to breathe a bit easier.
The Red Room celebrates faith. Not religion, doctrines or righteousness. The room is dominated by a tower of fuchsia orchids, one of the first lady’s favorite flowers, interspersed with candles. The windows have been filled with a facsimile of rose-colored glass that calls to mind a stain-glassed window in a house of worship. But it also emphasizes people’s beautiful, stubborn devotion to optimism which is at the root of faith.
