2. Shelter junkies at heart, we’re not just excited about incoming President and his family, but also the decorating possibilities. Tula says: “I was pursuing the archives of the White House interiors over the decades, and it’s really been lacking post-Jackie O. The current Bush ‘aesthetic’ is beyond super stale. Let’s update it with some modern, eco-design — stat! And throw pillows! Man, does that pad need some good throw pillows.” Tell us what you’d like to see the new White House!
