"... first lady Melania Trump was focused on getting a photo shoot completed."

(CNN)As thousands of pro-Trump supporters streamed into Washington, DC, Wednesday headed first to the Ellipse to hear President Donald Trump speak, and then to the United States Capitol to lay siege to the epicenter of American democracy, first lady Melania Trump was doing a photo shoot at the White House.
Professional lighting, the sort used for photography and videography, could be seen through the windows of the White House. "Photos were being taken of rugs and other items in the Executive Residence and the East Wing," a person familiar with the day's activities with the first lady told CNN. Trump -- who, as CNN has reported, has expressed interest in writing a coffee table book about decorative objects she has amassed and had restored in the White House -- was overseeing the photo project, said the source, with her remaining time in the White House dwindling.
Just blocks away, domestic terrorists were swarming the US Capitol in a riot that her husband had incited earlier that day at the rally. While images of the mob breaking into the Capitol consumed the airwaves, the first lady was focused -- with the White House chief usher, Timothy Harleth -- on getting the shoot completed. Both the media, including CNN, and members of her staff were asking if Trump had plans to tweet a statement of calm, or a call to stop the violence -- something she had done a handful of times months earlier during the protests surrounding the police killing of George Floyd.
She did not.

It's not good.
"[Mrs.] Trump...has expressed interest in writing a coffee table book about decorative objects she has amassed and had restored in the White House."
AMASSED: gather together or accumulate (a large amount or number of valuable material or things) over a period of time.
Jackie Kennedy curated; Melanoma Trump amassed.
"Just weeks after her husband's inauguration, Mrs. Kennedy enlisted the famed decorator Dorothy Parish, or "Sister" as she was widely known, to help with the restoration of the White House. Within two weeks, the $50,000 budget had been spent on refurbishing the private living quarters. Undaunted, Mrs. Kennedy turned to Winterthur, Henry du Pont's estate-turned-museum, located outside Wilmington, Delaware. She hoped to acquire some antique furniture by loan. Winterthur Director Charles Montgomery suggested the formation of a committee of informed and connected people whose goal would be to acquire antique furnishings for the White House. The Fine Arts Committee was born, and Henry du Pont, was made chairman. He was widely considered to be the greatest collector of Americana and the most qualified authority on the subject of American historical decoration at the time.
Mrs. Kennedy enlisted Life magazine to help promote the renovation of the White House. She helped prepare a fully illustrated article outlining her plans that ran in the September 1961 issue, and participated in an interview with Hugh Sidey, in which she stated, "Everything in the White House must have a reason for being there. It would be sacrilege merely to redecorate it—a word I hate. It must be restored, and that has nothing to do with decoration. That is a question of scholarship."

How touching. 
If the items were gifts over a certain value she can't take them. It's part of the Emollients Clause.
It's a good thing she is having it all documented.
