Hillary Clinton offers rare glimpse inside family's DC home

[left-of-center2012]

The Clintons may have left a certain Washington address almost 20 years ago, but -- unlike most of their presidential predecessors -- the family has kept a home in the US capital since leaving the White House.

Now, Hillary is offering a rare glimpse into the pair's urban retreat, after she opened the doors of the neo-Georgian residence to Architectural Digest.

A series of exclusive photographs for Architectural Digest's site show off the property's airy conservatory and sizable swimming pool. An accompanying interview also sees the former Secretary of State recalling her first encounter with the home in 2000, the last full year Bill Clinton served as president.

"It was an emotional reaction," she's quoted as saying. "When I was elected to the Senate in 2000, I knew that I needed a place to live while we were in session during the year. So I began looking. And, I had an experience in this house, which was just emotional."

1. I don't see a lot of fake gold leaf anywhere

Oh, and are those decorative fucking gourds(1) on the table? She's won my approval, right there!!!


(1) Shoutout to McSweeney's

[klook]

5. Haha, one of my favorites!

I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait to get my hands on some fucking gourds and arrange them in a horn-shaped basket on my dining room table. That shit is going to look so seasonal. I’m about to head up to the attic right now to find that wicker fucker, dust it off, and jam it with an insanely ornate assortment of shellacked vegetables. When my guests come over it’s gonna be like, BLAMMO! Check out my shellacked decorative vegetables, assholes. Guess what season it is — fucking fall. There’s a nip in the air and my house is full of mutant fucking squash.

15. Thanks for link... hysterical!

[Karadeniz]

21. Thanks a lot! I laughed so hard I cried, then almost sucked my M & M down my windpipe!

Oh, well, I would've died laughing!

[pangaia]

24. LOLOL ...

God I hate 'decorative gourds. tacky as can be...

[leftieNanner]

17. Those are VEGETABLES!

The only vegetables the Orange One eats are the "lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions" on a sesame seed bun.

OK, so cheese isn't a vegetable....

[pangaia]

25. So is the orange one, the one with whom to compare the clintons?

I think the clintons deserve a little more..

[leftieNanner]

28. Heavens no!

I just figured Donald wouldn't ever want anything remotely resembling a veggie anywhere near his table!

Just being snarky. I think the Clintons' house is lovely.

[pangaia]

30. Actually I do not like the inside at all...

I can not imagine eating a meal in a dining room with that wall!!!!
Indigestion.



And I didn't mean you comparing the clintons to trump the way maybe you think I did. I KNEW that would be a problem. It's like--- As a percussionist, I would want to be compared with GOOD percussionists, especially those my equal or better.... eh, even that doesn't quite say what I mean..

Don't sweat it, I know what YOU meany anyway...

33. Not even a gold toilet?

[Skittles]

2. sorry, do not like

looks garish to me

[trueblue2007]

7. I LOVE HER HOME !!!!! LOTS OF ANTIQUES. Looks warm and inviting.

[Chin music]

11. I love it too!

The blue shades are so cool. It looks like the Clintons. Nice to see where they spent time.

[Skittles]

26. not to me it isn't

[certainot]

22. in the first pic is a portion of another more comfortable room and off that is the dart room

and a horseshoe pit, and an opium den, where the 'deep state coup' was hatched with obama and soros

[erpowers]

3. Nice House Nice Art

I like both the house and the art. It is a really well designed house. It seems like a very comfortable house.

[colorado_ufo]

12. I hope Heaven forgives me, but

the first thought I had, when I saw that giant blue splash painting, was, "Did she do that one herself, the night they stole the election from her?"

[Laura PourMeADrink]

16. What is it? Looks like Vietnam

[Retrograde]

31. Reminded me of Yves Klein

He was fond of that particular blue

[Raine]

4. The only room I like is the one

sandwiched between the turquoise dining room (or whatever it is), I don't like any of the other.

[Duppers]

14. I like is the one with the pale gold chairs

And all the windows. That's it. I'd run screaming out of any intense turquoise room.

[Raine]

35. That's the room I like too!

[donkeypoofed]

6. And it's not C3PO's colon !

HER home is tasteful and beautifully decorated; Spanky lives in C3PO'S butt.

[Totally Tunsie]

8. Thanks for posting this, left-of-center2012.

It was interesting, attractive, and even a bit uplifting. I'll bet they're very comfortable there.

9. Clinton's home

I love the colors!

Of course you’d have to explain to trump what those square and rectangular shaped things are on the shelves in the first picture, not that pumpkin head would ever be invited to set foot in her house.

[SMC22307]

10. Not a fan of the dining room wall color...

but other than that, lovely.

[colorado_ufo]

13. Yep.

[Hekate]

18. Elegant -- both she and the house! I love the use of turquoise as a bold accent...

I wouldn't really have the nerve to do that myself, but I love how it looks in Hillary's home.

[flying rabbit]

19. I like the art

would be interesting to see what else is in there.

[Dem2theMax]

20. I absolutely love it!

I could happily live in a house that looks like that one does.

[pangaia]

23. For me, too nervous, anxiety filled, lacking in quiet, calmness, ...

I prefer something more like this...

27. Very nice, love the turquoise dining room.

[Hoyt]

29. Not for me, but it is nice. Good to see her smiling and enjoying life.

She has done a lot for our country.

[Lucinda]

32. Love it!

[Doreen]

34. I love the blue painting in the first picture.

However, all of the different prints together in the rooms is to much. To busy. Other than that it looks like a nice place.
