1800
in december 1998, first lady hillary clinton unveiled a renovated state dining room. she was advised by interior designer kaki hockersmith (a long-time friend of the clintons), interior designer mark hampton of new york city (who had worked on the white house for president george h. w. bush and first lady barbara bush), and the committee for the preservation of the white house. the room's walls were repainted a light stone color, with architectural details lightly highlighted. the pedestal console tables were stripped of paint which mimicked white marble with gold veining, and their original mahogany finish was restored. the gilded chandelier and wall sconces were polished and brightened. the room's 66 chairs were reupholstered in a gold damask. new ivory silk draperies, manufactured by f. schumacher & co., with printed full-color baskets, flowers, and ribbons replicating a 1901 damask design used by the firm, replaced the solid gold fabric drapes of the 1980s. the drapes were designed to reflect the color pattern of the white house china. a $113,031 ($ in dollars), carpet with a floral medallion pattern was also installed. the colonial revival-style carpet was woven by scott group custom carpets in grand rapids, michigan. the 1902 silver-plated chandelier and the wall sconces—last gilded in 1961—were refinished, repaired, rewired, and cleaned. sources differ as to the cost, with one putting it at $270,507 ($ in dollars) and another at $341,000 ($ in dollars), but the cost was paid for by the white house endowment trust. the clinton refurbishment was not as successful as hoped. white house curator william g. allman noted that at night, the lack of backlighting from outside tended to make the drapes fade into the walls.
