A customer has been refurbishing her house and has a newly created alcove in the bathroom suite. She requested a custom made frame to fit around the shelf, and had a spotlight installed into the alcove. The customer can easily access this space when she changes the display.

It's perhaps the most beautiful library on Earth, known for its dramatic Baroque ceiling frescoes painted by Bartolomeo Altomonte.

Artist’s sketch of a sparrow. From Deir el-Bahri, Thebes, Egypt, c. 1479–1458 BC.

Artists have always loved to sketch. In ancient Egypt, some 3,500 years ago, they used flakes of limestone as sketch pads rather than paper.
