A lot of things jumped out at me:The soft blue/grey, the chandelier, the Louis armchair, the frames above each bedside table, that really tall dresser mirror.
And then I tried to date the image and when I clicked into the website to find out more I discovered that this was the White House Master Suite during the Kennedy era! It was actually Jackie's bedroom, JFK had his own.
Take a look at some more pics (I wish my bedroom was even half this size!).
Don't you think the bedroom could be set in any era really? It's so classic, feminine but not overtly so, also very practical. And the date... 1962.
Take a look at a comparison of the same room decorated differently for four different Presidents.

So... thanks for the inspiration Jackie. Love your style!
