    This photograph, taken by Robert L. Knudsen on September 4, 1963, shows a guest bedroom on the Third Floor of the White House shortly after it was refurbished during the John F. Kennedy administration. Also called "Room 303" or the "Orange Blossom Bedroom," the room was called the "Chinz Bedroom" after the glazed, floral pattern applied to the walls, window dressing, and French-style bed during the redecoration. First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy collaborated on the design of the room with interior designer Stéphane Boudin and Henry Francis Du Pont, leader of the Fine Arts Committee for the White House.
