support.

Hockersmith watched as her curtains remained in place during the first year of the George W. Bush presidency, until his decorator Ken Blasingame replaced them with a bronze set that he and Laura Bush decided would complement a new lighter Oval Office rug they commissioned.

The gold curtains were put into storage and stayed there during the Obama years.

Hockersmith watched the coverage of President Donald Trump the day he arrived at his Oval Office in 2017. She hadn’t expected to see the curtains she designed, but after counting the swags and zooming in on the custom banding, she knew they were hers. They have hung there ever since.

They should. They were designed for Bill Clinton’s Oval Office in 1993 by Little Rock decorator Kaki Hockersmith.

But those curtains have turned out to be one of the constants in our democracy, gracing the most powerful windows in the land during the administrations of four of the last five presidents.

Talk about a backdrop to history.

“The curtains in the Oval Office are so important,” Hockersmith says. “This design in the yellow damask has a sort of timelessness about it. The most photographed

things.”

She recalls spreading out her fabric swatches and paint chips for consideration for the Oval Office on the big kitchen island in the Arkansas governor’s mansion.

Bill Clinton liked her pick for the curtains: Scalamandre’s Newport Damask, a historic fabric design Hockersmith had researched. She had discovered that a fragment of a red damask in the same pattern was found in the Philadelphia house occupied

by George Washington when he was president. The fabric would go perfectly with her color scheme of red, blue and gold.

“He wanted a change in look in his office that would envision his personality,” she recalls. “He loved the energy of the patriotic colors.”

Hockersmith worked quickly so she could have the curtains made in time to be installed on Inauguration Day, immediately signifying a change in power. Her yellow curtains replaced the neoclassical pale blue draperies designed by Mark Hampton for George and Barbara Bush.

Late Washington upholsterer Nelson Wurz, whose firm Nelson Beck had made the curtains for Hockersmith, waited at the West Gate of the White House for Bill Clinton to be sworn in. Then

he rushed to the Oval Office, as he had only a few hours to complete his job.

Wurz recalled the frenzy for me in a 2001 interview for The Washington Post.

“You could hardly move around the room. There were about 28 people in there,” he said. “There were telephone people, Secret Service, window washers, picture hangers and movers.”

The curtains were installed just before the Clintons arrived. And the rest is history.

Former White House decorators, an exclusive club, are intrigued to see what future presidents choose from the growing stacks of presidential rugs and curtains in storage.

Blasingame calls Biden’s look of yellow curtains and blue rug “bright and refreshing.” He is always amused when he sees his designs pop up in other administrations.

“You go into this job know-

ing that your work isn’t going to last forever,” Blasingame says. “So it’s fun to see something that you designed that has been repurposed.”

The two beige linen damask sofas he designed for George W. Bush’s office later served Obama for almost two years and Trump for four years.

Now they are in Biden’s Oval Office.

“We tested the sofas with different seat cushions to be sure that the seats were conducive to office comfort, not home comfort, and that guest or staff could rise up without struggling from a soft cushion,” Blasingame says. “I guess that’s working.”

Meanwhile, Hockersmith had the chance to remake the gold curtains a second time: an exact copy hangs in the full-size replica of the Oval Office at the William J. Clinton Presidential Center in Little Rock.

Lee Reich | In the Garden

Bring a bit of the past into your garden with heirlooms

Y

OU’RE RUMMAGING in the attic, in great-grandma’s steamer trunk, and you come upon a dusty, old packet of garden balsam seeds. An heirloom — although this heirloom’s probably more valuable for the picture on the packet than for the seeds, which probably have lost their vitality.

You could, though, if you wanted, get your hands on heirloom plants that would grow.

Heirloom plants are those that have been handed down from generation to generation as saved seeds or pieces of stems or roots. These varieties well up nostalgia for bygone times not only because they come from those times, but because of their particular qualities.

Colors of heirloom flowers, for example, often are soft — as subdued as those in old-fashioned hand-colored photos.

Muted colors of heirloom plants are counterbalanced, in many cases, by bold fragrances and flavors. Modern sweet peas may sport flashy and abundant blooms, but are almost scentless as compared with the honey-sweet sprays of Black Knight sweet peas, introduced

Garden balsam is an heirloom flower easily grown from direct sown seeds.

in 1898.

Of course, every bold scent or flavor is not for everyone. You might not like the spicy, tart flavor of Spitzenburg apple. No matter: choose from among thousands of other heirloom apple varieties — and flavors.

Modern varieties of fruits and vegetables generally have been bred for mild flavors that appeal a little to everyone but not strongly to anyone.

With a more casual growth habit than modern hybrids, heirlooms won’t give the

ordered look of a brigade of soldiers when planted en masse.

Plant to plant variations of heirloom flowers may be subtle, as in the almost uniform stand of blue flowers from a seed packet of Blue Boy bachelor’s buttons — a variety grown by Thomas Jefferson. Or more dramatic, as in the occasional orange flower popping up among the reds from packet of Gift zinnias, an heirloom variety from Russia.

In some styles of garden, a blowsy look is preferred to rigid uniformity.

Heirloom plants also are not soldier-like by not marching in step. Plants from a packet of Golden Bantam corn, a delectable variety dating back to 1902, ripen over the course of more than a week. But plan on picking over a planting of modern Early Sunglow Hybrid corn in just a couple of days or you’ll miss peak flavor.

Most plants offered in garden centers and through the mail are not heirlooms and will never become one, not even in a hundred years. Plant Snowball Hybrid marigolds or Double Feature Hybrid cucumbers, let a few flowers and fruits mature seeds, then plant those seeds, and what do you get? Not Snowball Hybrid marigolds and Double Feature Hybrid cucumbers.

Hybrid seeds are made by bringing together pollen and egg cells from two specially chosen parents. Unless you or I grow those parents and provide for pollination, we cannot perpetuate hybrid varieties, nor can our children.

And even if not hybrids, many of today’s plants could not be passed along the generations because they are patented. As such, it is illegal

to propagate then distribute them.

Relatively few heirloom seeds or plants, as compared with hybrids, are offered by seed companies and nurseries.

More money is to be made on hybrids and patented plants.

They sell for more and appeal to a wider audience, even if some heirlooms have dedicated regional followings.

My neighbor once told me of a variety of curly kale that was popular among gardeners where she used to live in Delaware. But heirloom plants and seed are still available and are usually labeled as such.

So plant some heirlooms and bring a bit of the past into your garden. Pass along some cuttings of your favorite old fruits, trees, shrubs, and perennials to your neighbors and to your children. Save some seeds of favorite old varieties of vegetables and annual flowers, and pass them along too. You can never tell when they may no longer be available commercially.

Pinning down the story behind Washington’s birthday

G

EORGE WASHINGton has had at least three official birthdays. He was born Feb. 11, 1731. But that was according to the Julian calendar used at the time. When the Gregorian calendar was adopted, his birthday was recorded as Feb. 22, 1732.

President Chester Arthur renamed Washington’s official birthday Presidents Day in 1885.

Then in 1968, the Unified Monday Holiday Act was passed and became law in 1971. The act moved certain public holidays to Mondays to create three-day weekends, and the third Monday in February became the day for Washington’s celebration (and an extra day off work).

This year Washington’s birthday is observed Feb. 15.

Glass Works Auctions sold the amber “Simon’s Centennial Bitters, Trade Mark” bottle at their auction for $2,640.

It is shaped like the bust of President Washington with the product name embossed on the front below a large, round label panel.

Everyone involved has passed away, but I’d like to know if these are real and what they are worth.

Mortgage rates were flat this week as the economic recovery struggles to gain solid footing.

According to the latest data released Thursday by Freddie Mac, the 30-year fixed-rate average was unchanged at 2.73% with an average 0.7 point. (Points are fees paid to a lender equal to 1% of the loan amount and are in addition to the interest rate.) It was 3.45% a year ago.

Freddie Mac, the federally chartered mortgage investor, aggregates rates from about 80 lenders across the country to come up with weekly national average mortgage rates. It uses rates for high-quality borrowers with strong credit scores and large down payments.

These rates are not available to every borrower.

Because the survey is based on home purchase mortgages, rates for refinances may be different.

This is especially true since the price adjustment for refinance transactions went into effect in December.

The adjustment is 0.5% of the loan amount (e.g., it is $1,500 on a $300,000 loan) and applies to all Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac refinances.

The 15-year fixed-rate average edged up to 2.21%

A

Glide your way toward summer with this warm-weather classic

PERENNIAL FAvorite for warm-weather relaxation, this twobench lawn glider swing is a do-it-yourself classic.

The project will create an instant oasis—perfect for socializing, napping or just catching a breeze—adding a whole new dimension to your outdoor living space.

Although a relatively largescale project, the swing is simple enough for an average do-it-yourselfer to finish in a weekend or two.

It’s also inexpensive, utilizing standard cuts of fir lumber (other species will also work), plus four pieces of water pipe, nuts, bolts, screws and nails and finish of choice.

The design calls mostly for straight cuts, and all of the curves (like the armrests) are traced from full-size patterns.

To build, simply cut everything out and sand.

Next, assemble the frame and the passenger car separately, using screws and bolts.

To finish, combine the sub- stain or sealer. assemblies and apply paint, The swing measures about

with an average 0.6 point. It was 2.20% a week ago and 2.97% a year ago. The fiveyear adjustable rate average slid to 2.78% with an average 0.3 point. It was 2.80% a week ago and 3.32% a year ago.

“Economic data and pandemic-related developments paint a conflicting picture of the economy’s path forward,” said Matthew Speakman, a Zillow economist. “Bond yields, which generally dictate the course of mortgage rates, have risen steadily for the better part of the last few months - and while the longer-term trajectory for yields and rates is almost certainly upward, the near-term outlook is currently at a bit of an impasse.”

The yield on the 10-year Treasury rose to 1.15% on Wednesday, its highest level in three weeks. Mortgage rates usually follow the same path as long-term bonds, but that hasn’t been the case lately because of the Federal Reserve’s actions in the market. Since early in the pandemic, the Fed has been buying $120 billion in bonds each month, which has held down mortgage rates.
