Wildwood insights

The reclaimed hardwood timber used here at Wildwood Designs has been salvaged from old buildings, bridges and the like. Generally speaking the timber is native to Australia as non-natives weren't used in this type of construction.   When these timbers were originally harvested, way 'back in the day', they came from the bush not plantations.

Is the piece you’ve set your little heart on, a quality piece of furniture? That...

Sleeping is one of THE most enjoyable human past-times! Most of us don't get enough.  Various reasons and levels of 'lack of sleep' afflict us all, and sometimes it's as simple as "WHAT are you sleeping in?!". Do you love where you lay your head at night? Or that afternoon napping on Sunday? You need too.  And at Wildwood Designs we have...

What would we do without bedroom storage?!  Probably have a melt down... I'm pretty sure I would.  "Where'd I put that?" "Have you seen my...?"  "That doesn't go there!" Only bad things can happen from here on in...
