(Keeping Up With the Biden’s!)
Forget about the Joneses AND the Kardashians!
(KIDDING! Don’t do that, they’re WAY too much fun to watch...)
With President’s Day on Monday, let’s have a little look-see into the cozy homestead on Pennsylvania Avenue!
Here’s some fun facts about the one and only White House…
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is a bit more 1600 or even 16,000 square feet.
More like 55,000 square feet!
So. Many. Feet.
That’s a little space to squeeze in some cool areas! Let’s take a look!
SO much is Top Secret, but we (think we) know some stuff…
For starters, there are six floors, 132 rooms (that we know of…),
and 35 bathrooms.
412 doors (that we know of…)
28 fireplaces
Eight staircases
…and so much more (that we know of…)
A bowling alley,
theater room,
outdoor pool AND a hidden indoor pool under the press room!
With six levels, you still gotta call the bottom one a “basement”, right?
Just like the rest of us.
But does yours have a chocolate shop, dentist’s office, florist, and a carpenter?
Mine too!
And there’s a seriously famous ghost.
Ever heard of Honest Abe?
Apparently, he’s still hanging out and many have seen him!
(I’m sorry, but isn’t that the coolest ghost, like, EVER?)
And just for fun, another rando factoid to make you appreciate your more humble abode…
It’s called The White House. So it better stay white!
No worries, just buzz over to Lowe's and grab 570 gallons of paint.
(How much are you loving your vinyl siding right about now?)
So, be thankful your block is free of you know, LEADERS OF THE FREE WORLD, and enjoy your little space, it’s 2.5 bathrooms, and about a zillion bucks less in annual maintenance.
And being a real estate agent and interior designer, this one blows my mind:
When a President leaves office to go to the inauguration of the next one, staff has FIVE WHOLE HOURS to move them out, move IN the new prez and family, paint the walls, change the decor, art…everything!
Five hours.
I cannot. Even.
That’s how long it takes Kim K to get ready in the morning. I’m guessing.
So, Happy President’s Day to my fellow Americans (and especially you Akronites)!
