They blend in so well with the pedestrian white marble.<br /><br />Haha, I think everyone's always nice because the photos you always take are stunning. No exception here!

I'll be sure to show the library ladders for you, but they sadly don't compare to these marble ones!ArchitectDesign™https://www.blogger.com/profile/01481754380363676771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28651976363618994.post-86645911572690876892010-07-09T08:40:31.359-04:002010-07-09T08:40:31.359-04:00A stunning tour!
