Suzan Fellman had a hard time with Laura Bush’s redo of the famed guest quarters named for President Lincoln; "Looking at it, I thought I was in a Radisson lobby somewhere in the Midwest long ago. I could not imagine spending a night in that space. "
Done up with Victorian furnishings, the Lincoln Bedroom is one of the residence’s least-changed spaces, said Betty Monkman, formerly chief curator of the White House for nearly 40 years. "It’s a quasi-museum room," she said, "with a lot of objects, such as the bed, that have symbolic importance. "
The elaborately carved bed bought for Lincoln is the centerpiece of the room.
According to historian William Seale, the president was furious that his wife, Mary, spent so much money redecorating the White House during a time of war. He never slept in the bed, and the ornate piece eventually was moved to a spare room.
Los Angeles designer Fellman saw parallels, calling the Obama era a period of "pulling back on extravagance. " It is a good time, she said, to revisit pieces in storage, to rearrange old furniture in a new fashion, and use paint and fabrics to bring life and fun into a room without spending a fortune.
In this re-imagining of the Lincoln Bedroom, Fellman would retain the legendary bed but paint the ceiling a sky blue and use a Cecil Beaton rose-print fabric for curtains. "Lincoln loved roses," Fellman said, "and this beige and ivory version keeps it from being too bold, modern or feminine. " At a time when Americana is expected to stage a strong revival, Fellman said traditional styles such as Colonial and Federal can co-exist with European antiques if they are balanced in scale.
Mindful of the recession, the designer advocated selecting furniture with longevity in mind. "If you are going to spend money, buy quality things that you never want to get rid of," she said "A couple of really good things can make all the difference in a room. " Her splurges would include a camel-hair sofa, which Fellman said was long-lasting and timeless. As a Pop Art-influenced statement about thrift, a custom rug woven with a 6-foot-diameter medallion replicates the penny’s image of Lincoln in subtle shades of ivory and copper.
In bad times as in good, spare rooms don’t have to be grand to be effective, Fellman said. "A guest room should feel inviting and intimate," she said "It has to exude serenity. "
The way Fellman would rearrange the Lincoln Bedroom includes______.
选项
A、putting some roses on the table
B、omitting some European antiques
C、adding to it some Federal styles
D、giving it the look of a strong America
答案
C
解析
本题考查细节。根据文章第六段最后一句“At a time when Americana isexpected to stage a strong revival,Fellman said traditional styles such as Colonial andFederal can co—exist with European antiques if they are balanced in scale.”可知,当人们期望美国文物能进入一个强大的复兴时期时,Fellman讲道,如果传统风格在规模上得到平衡,那么殖民主义时期和联邦时期的传统风格就能与欧洲的古物共存,由此可知,C选项符合题意。
