Trump added, "I did it in black and white polished statuary marble. This was very appropriate for the time of Abraham Lincoln and, in fact, could be the marble that was originally there!"
The President shared multiple photos on Truth Social of the remodel, which showcased the bathroom's marble walls and gold fixtures.
"The Refurbished Lincoln Bathroom in the White House - Highly polished, Statuary marble!" Trump said in one of the posts.
The office and cabinet room once used by America's 16th president, Abraham Lincoln, has been known as the Lincoln Bedroom since 1945, when President Harry S. Truman directed that furnishings from Lincoln's era be placed there, according to the White House Historical Association.
The room is located in the southeast corner of the second floor of the White House.
The bathroom renovation follows Trump's recent announcement that construction crews had begun tearing down part of the East Wing to make room for his privately funded White House ballroom, a project that's been in the works for months.
"The White House is currently unable to host major functions honoring world leaders in other countries without having to install a large and unsightly tent approximately 100 yards away from the main building's entrance," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said during a July 31 briefing.
