The stone color for this collection is inspired by the blue chosen by Mrs. Kennedy during the 1962 renovation of the Blue Room. Mrs. Kennedy's favorite of all the historic rooms, the Blue Room embodied her taste for French historical decor and reflected the manner in which James Monroe had finished the room when the house was rebuilt after the fire of 1814. The Blue Room serves as a reception area, most notably during the holidays, when adorned by the official White House Christmas tree. Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth as needed.
