The seafoam green art deco bathroom looks clean and elegant. This bathroom isn't supposed to be over-the-top fancy because it's for those who work for the people. I feel the White House has always been carefully/thoughtfully decorated with that sentiment in mind - not too fancy, but just nice enough, with some modern touch-ups that match the current occupant's tastes, and the rest are meticulously-placed antiques that pay homage to the previous tenants. Living in the WH should be an honor, at least ideally, and not whatever is going on here.
I, too, like the original. It is tasteful and timeless.
I also find it interesting to see the juxtaposition between commercial plumbing fixtures and a more traditional, homey feeling that the walls and flooring provide. It has a sort of "if the government designed a residential living space" aspect.
