Decorate, accessorise, style; whatever term you choose, the next step in ‘putting a room together’ is having both...

We all sit at some point during the day.  A lot of us sit most of the day at work. In an office, on a machine, in a vehicle; the list goes on…  But the most important time (personally) is when we get home.  Tired from the day’s activities. Exhausted even. The right chair can actually set the mood of...

Some of our favourite memories in life are played out around the dining table.  It’s an essential piece of furniture, probably one of the most important pieces you’ll buy for your home.  This is where we gather with our friends and family to share life… A meal, a drink, laughter and stories.  If you choose well a dining table can...

To be clear ‘Wormy Chestnut’ is actually a collection of several Eucalypt species from Victoria. And as a result of years of fighting for survival; they endure flooding, drought, bush-fires, super strong winds, all of which stunt their growth, even beetle attacks; this particular timber produces characteristics that ensure that no two pieces are alike.  Features that are brought to...

I was going to do something just on beds, and given our range of lux bedroom furniture, it wouldn’t be difficult.  But I thought I’d add a little snippet on that oh, so elusive activity we all crave more of… Sleeeeeep! After doing a little research (I do mean a little), I’ve discovered, sleep is a very interesting subject. Cycles,...

What is a burl? Well, in laymen’s terms, it’s a knotty out-growth protruding from the trunk, branch or root of the tree.  Most Burls are found underground, though it’s not uncommon to see them above ground. Pretty much most burls are covered with bark whether above or below ground and is generally found when the tree falls over (due to...
