Plus maybe one of his adoring children will get the commission to paint the portrait.

When greylady said “small cozy dining room,” I was thinking of something smaller with a table for 4-6 vs 10-14. Besides that, I love that room, especially the rug (we were on a rug search recently and it’s really hard to find something non-faux antique Persian or HGTV geometric).

No, they are all no talent hacks.

But they can all serve on the “Artist Selection Committee”.

For a fee for their time, Of course.

Why do I get the feeling that one of those portraits from the 1800’s was Jefferson Davis.

That might have been more honest, but the two were McKinley and TR.

I assumed they were going with this…

Constitution in one hand magic wand in the other.

Y u hate postal workers tho? /s

Bathroom is definitely the correct answer. I hear they can screen-print those little urinal hair filters/scent cake holders nowadays…

Oh, just hang it with the rest but face it to the wall.

I was going to suggest hanging it in the gents but yours is better.

That’s the room that had been turned by the former administration into a storage catch-all: unused office chairs and tablecloths, cardboard boxes of crap, portraits of presidents who made him feel inadequate, that kind of thing. It’s the room that Michelle Obama had famously redecorated with modern art, and opened to public tours for the first time.

Critters sometimes take a bite out of the ones that grow low to the ground in my garden, and since I don’t like the idea of finishing what a rat started, I can supply quite a few in the summer months.

They could put Rump’s portrait, in the style of Velvet Elvis, in the unisex restroom under the Pissing Calvin decal.

The rug was custom, based on another piece of modern art.

I wonder what happened to all of that great and fun artwork.

It’s considered small compared to the WH dining room used for events like state visits by other world leaders, etc. but I must admit you could probably fit the entire first floor of my house in that room… :smile:
