Ah.. a nice plant makes every room better! Just because we live in London - or wherever you happen to live :) - it does not mean we have to live without any exotic looking botanic. British Designer Anna Dempsey or 'The Urban Botanist' wants to improve your home! The decorator & painter trained at The Victoria and Albert Museum and spent seven years in Rome.  Once she returned to the UK, she worked for two decades as a Garden Designer of Historic Houses. Another one of her skills is silk painting. She has now made home decor her main business and on her website you will not only find these decorative plants but also floral prints, curtains, cushions and lampshades. So much to choose from but the plants are our favorite! (all artwork & photos  © Anna Dempsey )

Ukrainian artist Pavel Guzenko has a gift! He knows how to use oil color and a brush to create vibrant images. The Kiev-based painter started his creative career as a designer and went on to become a professional in the crafts in the year 2006. Imagine how difficult it must be to precisely create these vivid images with oil color.  This artform is called contemporary abstract painting and besides landscapes and flowers, Pavel also knows how to catch the sparkle of an eye, which is a great and probably difficult skill to master . We would definitely put one of his pieces on our living room wall. If you feel the same, you can find more of his work HERE . Very talented! (all artwork © Pavel Guzenko )
