“This delayed the planning process and I was only able to begin renovations after the inauguration, when we were already in the White House,” he said.
He went on to write: “Those three weeks would have been crucial to take action, make plans and begin preparations.”
Donald’s third wife explained that they initially decided to focus on redecorating a dozen rooms in the private residence, with Barron’s room being a “priority.”
“The existing style was outdated or not to my taste,” he said. ‘Barron’s room was a priority. He was the first boy to live in the White House since John Kennedy Jr, and the children’s rooms had been decorated for girls for sixty years, so it was important to create a space that suited Barron’s interests.
