New York interior designer Sheila Bridges has designed the official vice president’s residence for Kamala Harris and Doug Emhoff. The Post has confirmed that Bridges had decorated the 1893 Victorian home on the grounds of the leafy U.S. Naval Observatory.
“It’s an incredible honor,” says Bridges, 58, who in 2001 designed the Harlem offices of former president Bill Clinton and his staff. Other clients have included Sean “P. Diddy” Combs and software mogul and art collector Peter Norton. “The house is an architectural landmark. I love old homes and figuring out how to use them for a family with a modern lifestyle. That is what we did.”
Bridges, who is known for her exacting eye for detail and imaginative design sensibility, has redone the public spaces on the main floor with furnishings primarily made by American companies, makers and manufacturers. “This was an opportunity to celebrate American design and crafts and small artisans,” says Bridges. The goal, she says, was to create a space that felt like a family home, yet allowed the vice president and second gentleman to host events such as Diwali celebrations, military family receptions and Latino small-business owner gatherings.
The spacious, 33-room white house with the wraparound porch at 1 Observatory Circle in Northwest Washington was designated by Congress as the official residence of the vice president in 1974. While the upstairs rooms are private quarters, the main floor is often used for official receptions and dinners.
