She was a top-level architect who designed in 5 gazillion languages, not a mere interior decorator. Besides, Donnie tore down the wing with her office in it, so she had to work from a table in some Starbucks or share a desk with Leavitt or something.

I like the colors, but then I'm partial to green. I think it would be OK in some private home, since it's being displayed in a smaller room, but yeah, the portraits are awkward. George looks as if he's searching for a way out, Donnie just looks petulant.
