All of us can admire and appreciate her taste and acquisition of the antiques that it took to restore the historical correctness of the White House. Antiques are not for everyone, but this effect undeniably was sumptuous!!
Jackie had something you can't buy CLASS & GREAT STYLE
but she did. she hired the best and THEY created the style and gave her class. SHE only approved THEIR work. That's not the same. She had to work on SOMETHING while her husband was working. Today, content creators CREATE their own syles without the help of "paid" professionals...to me thats the difference. she LEARNED to act a certain way: to be a President's wife.
@@moneysmartsmallbiz. you are intitled to your opinion but if you look at photos when she was a teenager, she had style then and she even drew photos of what she wanted today they used stylists and so many look like street walkers or homeless, there are still many women with great style and taste but most look to influencer, I stand by my statement best to you.
she was not classy. She slept around. Great style? lmfao you have no taste
@@pw529it’s entitled*, but it wasn’t an opinion, it’s a fact and that is why you’re pissed. She did hired and paid people to do things for her. Do your research. Even though she approved the styles, it still isn’t stylist. So bland.
@@user-jk8sh2zm3l i am not pis... as you so vulgarly put it, i have studied fashion for over 40 years, JKO HAD STYLE AND CLASS, of course she paid people to make her clothes no rich woman sits at a sewing machine, but she picked what she liked had many things made of her drawings and often had designers remove details if they were too frou, frou, AKA fancy. she wore classics styles you could wear today, if ones wants to be a lady, not someone who wants to shake their booty on main street or blindly follows any fashion like torn pants ect I WILL NOT WASTE MY TIME READING ANY MORE COMMENTS in fact I never have before, I have no time for haters. I still wish you the best.
I think wanting your bed linen to be changed twice daily is really over the top. Wonderful video thank you!
@@user-tk1ht6wn3j I know what you’re thinking, but I really believe it just came down to discretion. In the days before Motrin, women would need to take to their beds in the afternoons one week per month - and protection wasn’t all that reliable. Also, if she and the president “utilized the bed” at any point during the day, it would have been embarrassing to ring for the maid to specifically request new bed linens.
To avoid that indelicate situation, it was far easier to maintain the standing order for the beds to be changed twice daily.
@@jenniferlynn3537 Oh, honey, you have no idea. Her husband was a raging sex pig and he'd actually use her bedroom to "entertain." She and the maids all knew it. Their marriage was nothing to envy and his antics in the White House and elsewhere are rather well documented.
@@user-tk1ht6wn3j Most of us do, as did she. I would have had them changed hourly if I'd been in her shoes.
Very unusual request.
@jenniferlynn3537 her husband brought other women to their bedroom, and she and the maids knew it. This is well known. Where have you been?
Great video. Sister Parish brought the White House cohesive design. Jackie then needs to add her own Francophile taste through Boudin. I wish I had that vision at her young age.
How interesting. Changing bedlinwn twice a day? That's MAD 😂
agreed it is a bit OCD
That’s actually what I kept thinking about. I can maybe understand doing it once a day but I am pretty sure she wasn’t someone who laid around in bed throughout the day so I can’t understand why she want it done twice a day. Sometimes it’s the little details…🤔
@@elexis3728The bed linen was changed 2x a day because Jackie and JFK ummm, “marital intimacy” took place during the afternoon and the sheets were recharged after that.
@@mrspamsmith well, maybe that’s part of the reason he needed the extra pain meds for his bad back. Busy, busy man Mr. President was!
❤️ Jackie & her wonderful style! Beautiful.
Absolutely beautiful, well done! Some of the changed items after Sister Parish aren’t quite as lovely but everything reflects sophistication and class as well as comfort. Mrs. Kennedy Onassis was pure sophistication and class through and through.
I do prefer Boudin over Sister Parish's 🙂🙂
Her taste is impeccable and timeless
Love the video. Such class and elegance. I feel Stephen Boudin’s design was less chaotic than Parish’s.
Another great video. The attention to detail is well noted. Bravo
I love seeing this!
Beautiful and inspiring.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Cant say that I am very interested in Jackie Kennedy but the reading voice is so musical and beautiful. I am tired of AI voices, screamers and slurred speech. The color scheme of her bedroom is "serene and calming" 3:44. Well so is your voice. 💐
Thank you very much for appreciating my voice and the fact that our channel does not use AI voice overs!💐🌷
great video, your voice is soooo calming and relaxing, nearly fell asleep ! ASMR !
Just seeing some of those original pieces of furniture is a treat. Thank you.
Enjoyed very much thank you for posting Hello from Scotland
Thank you, I’m so glad!!! Hello!!
So glad to see Jackie and her taste in her bedroom and bathroom. Loved it all.
Awesomeness! Thank you for the historical tour! Fascinating. ❤🧡❤
jackie looks so sophisticated and beautiful in the thumbnail ❤
I like her style in home decor, it looks very English to me , timeless .
Fabulous video! Impeccable class & grace!
Like both & her elegance is always present 💝
Beautiful..
I only wish that she, her husband and her family could’ve lived in the White House for a lot longer than they did
Remember this was the style in the early sixties
What bothered me the most was that know one knew she was a chain smoker, as anyone can tell you and as a two year smoker myself, your clothes, furniture walls everything stink like cigarettes. Maybe that one reason she changed the sheets in the afternoon, besides having their marital trysts, he would doubly smell bad. But in that era people weren’t as bothered with smoke like today.
I greatly preferred Stephen Boudun’s desugns. I especially liked the dressing area. Please show more of her personal designs. Also her Sister Lee had outstanding design abilities. She has to long been relegated to also ran while in reality she was especially bright and talented. Thanks
Bravo as always 🥰 Thank you for this ❤️
Thank you! 😊
The White House butler said in his biography that Jackie and JFK retired every afternoon to their bedroom. No one was allowed up there - not even the Secret Service. Jackie was always refreshed after these naps. So there was a practical reason for changing those sheets.
Because her husband had the most strenuous job in the world, she insisted that he get a break during the middle of the day.
Re: Jackie's bedroom. Sister Parish had a fussy and not very appealing style. Mr Boudin had a sleek, beautiful style.
The one thing missing here in her bedroom are the flowers 🌸, for her being French is strange that she didn’t have any flowers at all ! The bedroom is beautiful, but without flowers is dead ! Just like Marie Antoinette her bedroom at the palace Versailles’ the flowers were the star and the canapés beautiful! ❤
You make an excellent point!!
Beautiful
We need this kind of class back in the white house, the last person was mrs reagan who was so elegant and beautiful.
Wonderful. Wonderful. Bedrom🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Jackie always took a afternoon nap , that’s why she changed the linen
Bedsheets were changed twice, daily..? 😲Really, twice?
@@user-tk1ht6wn3j 🤣🤣🤣
What. A. Wonderful. Brilliant. Tast
Of. Mrs. Kdnnedy. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks. For. Sharing. This. Beautiful. Video. Mrs. Kennedy
Was. An. Impressive. First. Lady.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Very nice, but did she really redo this in two years?
she was the epitome of elegant american taste. her style was so classic and beautiful . too bad milania destroyed her beautiful rose garden i''m sure she did it on purpose RIP jackie
The white wood vanity table was simply awful . I liked it the 2nd rime around with blue 💙
No tv
Faith, the pair of Louis XV chairs on either side of the 6 foot mirror have shield backs - not “horseshoe backs.” Shield backs harken to the fighting shields which often displayed a soldier’s family crest - so one could interpret them as a nod to “good breeding.”
As to the table below the mirror: It is obviously not a bouillotte table (as bouillotte tables are always round and the piece shown is rectilinear), but rather a commode ~ usually referred to as a bombé chest today. It obviously doesn’t have casters, but rather ormolu mounts - those gilded decorations shown.
For a better understanding of French furniture, please reference Paris Furniture by the Master Ébénestes authored by Charles Packer and published by R. H. Johns Ltd., 1956.
Hi Jennifer, I can assure you that the information I have provided is 100% accurate. It originates directly from the detailed descriptions given by historians who evaluated each object at Sotheby’s for their auction.
It’s a bedroom
I like these images but the narration was a bit catty, tacky and gauche. 😢
She didn't pay sister perish for all of
The work that she did for her. Read that somewhere else. Loved sister perish
In God’s name who is sister Parrish?
Bed sheets changed twice a day?!? Ummm??
Tasteful but boring.
I want to like it, but I don’t.
I’m with you. She would scoff at my modern, clean lines but her style is so fussy and over done - a magnet for dust
Georgia: I fully agree!
This CZcamsr makes wonderful videos - and this episode is another thoughtful, sensitive and informative example.
That said, I don’t care for Jackie’s style whatsoever. It doesn’t seem to me to convey the wit and true sophistication of what I’ve read and seen about the French. Nor does it make her character shine through. It strikes me these rooms are trying too hard and “true” aristocrats wouldn’t be impressed.
@@bristolcorvid8894 I found her clothing style very chic and elegant but it does not extend to home decor. If her clothing style was reflective of her decor then she’d have been wearing stripes with polka dots with plaids with paisleys - every day.
@bristolcorvid8894 She commissioned one of the most influential French interior designers of the time, Stephane Boudin, to design most of the rooms we're seeing here. He worked with most of the aristocrats in Europe. It doesn't come across to me like she was trying too hard at all. She's a typical, privileged woman of that error who was taught to flex her knowledge of culture & refinement as a wife through interior design. It reflected well on her husband, most especially that her husband was the President. It might not have been to our taste or others' taste but it was relatively beautiful for that time period.
@pjesf I doubt she would if she had lived to this modern day and age. Key word here is 'modern'.
Too Nad they didn't sleep together
I liked her but she was very arrogant
Did you know her?
No, she was not
The meticulous double change of linen didn't make her live longer, Im afraid. She shoulld have focused on her husband's behaviour, instead ! ..Too much decoration and not enough love., a pity !!.....
And you were intimately involved and informed of their relationship.
@@antoniahamilton3201 And you are the only soul on the planet who is not aware of his philandering. So very disrespectful
What should she have done? Chained the President to a bed post? Be for real!
@@lulukazhila6309 Maybe she could 've involved herself more in politics to be nearer to JFK ...
I read that the reason she had her sheets changed twice daily is because JFK would sometimes use her bed with his mistresses
Jackie Kennedy was so bland. She had no taste for fashion.
