Photography by Ashley Woodson Bailey

Last week I stumbled on the divine photographic works of American based artist Ashley Woodson Bailey. Her botanical photographs are simple, dramatic, moody and absolutely stunning. I could imagine these on a massive scale, making a brilliant statement on a focal wall... a magical piece of photographic artwork could be just the ticket!

Do the Banana Leaf

I mentioned on Facebook on Friday the HUGE interiors trend appearing at the moment for all things banana leaf! It's a bit of a tricky one to know how to incorporate this design into your home without making your guests feel like they've gone bush, so check out these images below for a bit of clever inspiration... a top tip: these types of pattern often work in very small amounts like a cushion or two, or used all over but in the smallest rooms of the house - like the loo!
