Just for joy – an occasional series entitled Everyday Art – a little record of some of the beauty I see in the world about me every day. Sometimes this is seen in the art and photography of others. At others the photos or drawings will be of beautiful sights I saw with my own eyes. Everyday Art enriches life daily. I’ll enjoy revisiting it from time to time.

Grand staircases like this one enchant me. But I am also jumping ahead to thoughts of cabins, reading nooks and elegant workspaces.

I wonder how many of us have stories, or could write fiction, centred on particular architectural or other precisely designed detail?
