Bamboo Flooring

Bamboo flooring is a breathtaking alternative to hardwood timber floors. Plantation grown bamboo saves our ancient forests and is one of the world's oldest building materials, and one of the fastest growing plants known to man!
Bamboo flooring is stronger and more resilient to indentation and scuffing than many native woods, but with the same look and feel.

Mother's day gift ideas - that won't cost the earth!

For mum, this mother's day.

1. The best gift of all - a hug. Hugs certainly feel good, both on the giving and receiving end, and it turns out their effects are more than skin deep. A study by University of North Carolina researchers found that hugs increase the "bonding" hormone oxytocin and decrease the risk of heart disease. Hugs are good for your heart, they lower blood pressure, and reduce stress.

2. Get a green kitchen hamper for mum, full of earth friendly products for around the home. Cleaning products and laundry products that are gentle on the environment - we like www.ecostore.net.au
