Inside & out: BigW Woden turns 45, grow veggies with JACK

The latest in news, trends, and happenings for the home, with CW Home editor, Abbey Halter.

BigW Woden turns 45

The BigW Woden store’s original layout in 1977 consisted of 20 registers by the entrance, replaced by self-serve checkouts over 30 years later. Image supplied.

This year, BigW at Woden celebrated opening its doors 45 years ago in 1977. Last week, current and ex-team members gathered to celebrate the milestone and reminisce about the early days. The original store design featured yellow paint and cream fixtures at eye height, later replaced by the chain’s recognisable blue and white colour scheme. Departments have been revamped over the years, most notably the records and cassettes departments.

Grow your own veggies with JACK

The JACK grip and growis a freestanding system designed to help vegetables growing upwards. Image supplied.

It’s the time of year to prepare your veggie patch for spring, and if you love to do it yourself, JACK’s horticultural support products can help. The freestanding frame has a winged design making it able to hold the weight of heavier produce; for vegetables growing on a wall, you could try the grip and grow; while the pea and bean frames aim to keep the possums at bay.

Available at Bunnings and Mitre 10.

Arty Bubs Zodiac Woman framed prints are also available for children. Image supplied.

Featuring every zodiac sign from Aries to Pisces, Arty Bub’s Zodiac Woman framed prints suit a range of spaces with their simplistic design and natural colours. Printed on thick art paper, you can choose between a premium metallic frame with glass frontage or a white wood-look frame with Perspex frontage.
