This photograph, taken by Cecil Stoughton on June 12, 1962, shows First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy with members of the American Institute of Interior Designers (AIID) at the opening of the finished White House Library. The refurbishment project was gifted by the AIID and directed by Henry Frances du Pont. The new features in the room included a donated circa 1810 octagonal table, a French Aubusson rug, and a newly installed chandelier.

In this photograph, taken by Susan Sterner on January 4, 2005, First Lady Laura Welch Bush and White House Curator William G. Allman oversee the installation of window fixtures in the Lincoln Bedroom. The window fixtures were installed as part of Mrs. Bush's refurbishment project to restore the historical accuracy of the space and the adjoining Lincoln Sitting Room. Additional enhancements added to the room included period appropriate carpeting, wallpaper, and window hangings, a bed cornice, as well as the only marble mantel in the White House original to the era.

In this photograph by Robert L. Knudsen, workers repaint the Ground Floor Corridor on September 13, 1961. The painting was part of the refurbishment and restoration of the White House under the guidance of First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy. Like the Cross Hall connecting the rooms on the State Floor above, the Ground Floor Corridor provides access to the rooms on the lower level of the Executive Mansion, including the Diplomatic Reception Room, the China Room, the Vermeil Room, the Map Room, and the Library. Stretching between the East Wing and the West Wing, the Ground Floor Corridor was originally a dimly lit basement hallway, and the rooms along the corridor were service spaces. The arched ceiling vaults were intended to support the State Floor above, although they are now mainly decorative. During President Theodore Roosevelt's presidency, this hallway was transformed into a space for displaying artwork and china.

This photograph of the Treaty Room was taken by Robert L. Knudsen on May 3, 1962 during the John F. Kennedy administration. The Treaty Room is located on the Second Floor of the White House and is used as the president’s private study where the commander-in-chief can analyze reports, hold private meetings, edit speeches, and host family gatherings. It is one of the most historic rooms in the house, bearing witness to the signing of the peace protocol between Spain and United States in 1898, the Limited Nuclear Test Ban between the United States and the Soviet Union in 1963, and is possibly where President James Monroe composed the Monroe Doctrine. It has also served as the Cabinet Room for various administrations including for presidents Ulysses S. Grant, Rutherford B. Hayes, and William McKinley. In 1962 First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy, along with French interior designer Stéphane Boudin, oversaw the restoration of the Treaty Room including the installation of the deep green wallpaper with a red geometric design inspired by a decorative treatment for the State Rooms during the Andrew Johnson administration.

This photograph of the Blue Room was taken by Robert L. Knudsen on June 4, 1963, following its restoration under the guidance of First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy. Mrs. Kennedy worked with French interior designer Stéphane Boudin on the restoration of the White House. The continuous valance encircling the top of the room was a technique used by Boudin to unify the room. A 19th-century Savonnerie carpet, a gift of Mary Lasker, was placed on the floor at the center of the room. The Blue Room is located on the State Floor of the Executive Mansion. The oval-shaped parlor has been known as the Blue Room since Martin Van Buren’s 1837 redecoration. The room is often used for receptions, photo opportunities, and during the holiday season is home to the official White House Christmas Tree.

This photograph of the Yellow Oval Room was taken by Robert L. Knudsen on August 28, 1963, following its restoration under the guidance of First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy. Mrs. Kennedy and French interior designer Stéphane Boudin decorated the room with a pair of Louis XVI commodes and a pair of painted English armchairs with French black and ivory striped silk upholstery supplied by Boudin. The Yellow Oval Room has served as a family library, study, and sitting room. Under the direction of Mrs. Kennedy, it was made into a formal drawing room for the first family. The room is also where the president greets guests of honor before State Dinners. The room's color scheme echoes the yellow damask furnishings and curtains selected by First Lady Dolley Madison.

This photograph of the Pineapple Sitting Room was taken by Robert Knudsen on August 28, 1963, during the John F. Kennedy administration. The Pineapple Sitting Room and accompanying Pineapple Bedroom are located on the Third Floor of the White House.

The room got its name from the pineapple-shaped finials on the two mid-19th century beds located in the companion bedroom.

This photograph, taken by Robert L. Knudsen on August 28, 1963, shows the China Room in the midst of refurbishments during the John F. Kennedy administration. As part of the redecoration of the room to a vibrant grey, white, and red color scheme, the central 19th-century gild-framed borne settee was reupholstered in red velvet. The red velvet used for the settee and to line the china cabinet shelves was inspired by the gown seen in Howard Chandler Christy's portrait of First Lady Grace Goodhue Coolidge, first placed in this room in 1952. A circa 1825 marble mantel, seen here at right, was also added to the room during the renovations. The project was overseen by First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy and French interior designer Stéphane Boudin.

This photograph, taken by Robert L. Knudsen on August 28, 1963, shows the Library on the Ground Floor of the White House shortly after it was redecorated during the John F. Kennedy administration. The refurbishment project was gifted by the American Institute of Interior Designers (AIID) and directed by Henry Frances du Pont. Alterations to the room included the addition of ivory and gold paint to the walls, a circa 1810 octagonal library table, and the acquisition of several of Charles Bird Kings' circa 1822 portraits of American Indian delegates.

This photograph was taken by Cecil Stoughton on July 2, 1962, during the dedication ceremony for a new marble mantle in the State Dining Room.

The White House Office of the Curator was created by First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy in 1961. In October 1963, at the age of 24, he was asked to take over as curator upon the departure of William Voss Elder III.

Mrs. Kennedy eventually received a donation of two armchairs and two side chairs from the original suite. In 1962 Max Schneider & Son were commissioned to make additional reproductions for the Blue Room. The Blue Room is located on the State Floor of the Executive Mansion and is famous for its oval shape, central location, and views of the Washington Monument and Jefferson Memorial through its South Portico windows.

In this photograph taken by Robert L. Knudsen, a member of Peter Guertler’s staff prepares to paint the Library on September 13, 1961, during the John F. Kennedy administration. The new color scheme of yellow, ivory, and antique gold would reflect suggestions from Henry Du Pont, head of the Fine Arts Committee and French interior designer Stéphane Boudin. Boudin's suggestion was based on the color scheme from the library at Leeds Castle. Guertler was a New York society painter and craftsman, who gifted his services to First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy’s restoration program.
