Hi, can anyone point me to where I could find a nice picture ledge that I can use to display photography?
I was surprised that I could find relatively few styles on the Internet.
Below are a few I've found. The aluminum ledge isn't bad, but I don't like the curve and would prefer it a little thicker. The M1 ledge is interesting, but is only available in a single color.

Crate and Barrel has one that we may go with if we can't find anything better.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks everyone!
I have always made my own using finish grade 1x and slat or moulding, painted the same color as the wall so it disappears...here is one example:

Drill holes through the 2" dimension at marks, and another larger countersink approx. halfway through. Use 3" deck screws or similar to screw into studs and finish by brad nailing/gluing slat or the dimensional moulding of your choice, mitering the corners. Fill and paint. Fast, easy custom ledge for like $5 in the color and length of your choosing.
