Great article on bathroom plants...it's also worth thinking about them as a hanging plant from the ceiling or a small plant wall hanging flush against the wall, perhaps opposite end of bath from the shower? I love plants in bathrooms if they're looked after. It's a welcome sight of life in the morning :-) http://www.readersdigest.com.au/bathroom-plants

Hello toddkerry38, I actually love faux! When they're good they're gr8! I don't think they're a faux pas! : ) ) There are some fantastic selections around now which extend to plants too! Here's something I put together using faux flowers, I tied a ribbon round for effect but it's my arrangement- I offer floral arrangements for clients if they want it. And faux they are gr8 for people who have less time or for those who suffer from allergies as I do.. : )) Dining table in living room....Smaller arrangement of the same for bedroom....

I played some more with everything and got now to a stage where I'm more or less happy, meaning I can't be bothered to fiddle with things anymore. I kept thinking it needs to be more asymmetrical in a symmetrical way; the breakthrough came when I had the brilliant idea (ha!!) to stuck up the planters in an wonky way. I had to put my engineer hat on and think how to manage to balance and fix the arrangement in a way that the top planter would stay without using glue or anything like that, just in case I want to reuse the pots later. So I went and bought polystyrene sheets and cut them to fill the portion of the plater that's suspended and added lots of gravel on the end that stays on top. And it worked! Andrew was great, as always, he offered to paint the walls; unfortunately we chose a colour that's darker/yellower than the original hue, but at least it looks clean. However, the big however, my darling husband managed to spill paint everywhere, even though I put newspapers all over the floor. Just don't ask how in the name of all that's holy he achieved that feat, apparently it's trade secret and he can't share! He said he's going to bring the pressure washer out and clean it (I suspect he did it on purpose so he can play with water again!) Anyway, the light is not great right now, but this is how it looks... a bit like a hotel reception, right? (please ignore the fact that I couldn't be bothered to finish sweeping the floor before taking the photo:)) This is it! It's still colourless and a bit too pretentious, but truly, I've had it with it. What do you think?
