Just hours after President Donald Trump was sworn in for a second term, the White House unveiled its Oval Office makeover.
Perhaps one of the most iconic and recognizable rooms in the world, the historic office has been given a makeover at the start of every presidency for centuries.
The series of changes unveiled on Monday reveal what inspires the 78-year-old in an exclusive space where he will lead some of the world's most powerful business meetings over the next four years.
A group of reporters got their first glimpse of the room as Trump signed a series of executive orders following the carefully choreographed switch.
The refresh was implemented within hours, with staff quickly sweeping away signs of Trump's predecessor Joe Biden.
His redecorated office features an array of items from Trump's first term, including his famous Diet Coke button, which allows the president to whip up a glass of his favorite drink at a moment's notice.
The office also pays tribute to some of his favorite historical figures and displays the portraits of several Trump family members.
One big change is that Trump has removed a bust of Robert F. Kennedy.
This comes as a surprise, especially since Trump is Kennedy's son and close ally Robert Kennedy Jr. has nominated as his Secretary of Health and Human Services.
When President Trump returned to the White House, a series of changes were quickly made to the Oval Office for the new president, including a different carpet, portraits that were added, shifted and removed, and other artwork that returned to be seen from his office on display. first term. The Diet Coke button was also quickly reinstalled when Trump's family photos were redeemed for his return
The White House team also made other changes to the interior designs favored by Biden.
One of the more obvious updates made as Trump resumes office is the deep blue carpet Biden had during his four years in office.
In a quickly executed change, the rug was replaced with a more neutral cream-colored one that Trump previously had in the Oval Office during his first term from 2017 to 2021.
The carpet was also on display in the Oval Office when former Republican President Ronald Reagan was a resident in the 1980s.
While the carpet was removed, requiring the Resolute Desk to be taken apart, the gold curtains remain hanging.
The curtains were actually a leftover from Trump's first term, which Biden kept. They were originally designed for President Bill Clinton's Oval Office.
Another relic is the bust of Martin Luther King Jr., which is still on display in the Oval Office, as it was under Biden and during Trump's first term.

In a similar choice from his first term, a portrait of President Andrew Jackson, for whom Trump has expressed his fondness on several occasions, hangs prominently on the wall.
Unlike the portrait on the wall during Trump's first term, which was on loan from the US Naval Academy, the current portrait comes from the White House art collection, according to the Wall Street Journal.
It is displayed between two military flags.
There is also a vase of Jackson on the nearby bookshelf.
Trump has declared himself a fan and even traveled to Tennessee to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the seventh president's first term in office.

On the wall on the other side of the Resolute desk hangs a portrait of President Abraham Lincoln.
Other portraits in the newly redesigned Oval Office include a portrait of President George Washington, which hangs above the fireplace as it did in 2017.
It is flanked by portraits of President Thomas Jefferson, who was also the first Secretary of State, and Alexander Hamilton, the first Secretary of the Treasury.
A portrait of Benjamin Franklin that was on display in the Oval Office under Biden remains.
But a portrait of President Franklin Roosevelt, prominently displayed above the fireplace when Biden was in power, has been removed with Trump's return.

Another work returning to the Oval Office with Trump is the bust of Winston Churchill. It was prominent during his first term but was removed by Biden and President Obama.
Another feature that is back in place is Sculpture 'The Bronco Buster' by Frederic Remington, who also decorated Trump's office during his first term.
But after Biden's term in office, a bust of labor leader Cesar Chavez was also removed from the Oval Office.

As Trump returns to power for the next four years, a number of personal touches have been added.
The table features a series of Trump family photos taken over the years in gold frames, including photos of the president's late parents.
Also prominently displayed on the table behind his chair is a series of challenge coins depicting various states and agencies.

Challenge coins can be seen on the table behind Trump's chair. The coins are often produced by members of the military, as well as law enforcement and fire departments, and bear unique mottos or insignia intended to promote unity within departments or individual units.
Trump's famous Diet Coke button returns to the Oval Office for his second term
One of the most unique features of Trump's first term return is the famous Diet Coke button, as Trump was known for calling on his staff to bring his favorite soda.
When Trump signed a series of executive orders on Monday evening, the button was ready to press again to keep the Coke coming.
