I’ve heard all the former oval office furniture and art is in storage.

A new President can ask for the Kennedy desk or some sculpture that Truman used.

The entire Oval office was renovated after Obama. He kept postponing it until his term ended.

There are pictures of the room completely bare.

Here’s the renovation link.
