Our spring issue is in stores now!

From the team at NZ House & Garden [NZ House & Garden] [NZ House & Garden - From the Editor]( Hi {NAME}, Our cover for the October issue, on sale now, says “Hello Spring” and with the recent burst of warmer weather and daylight saving starting this weekend, we are definitely on the path to summer. Reading the latest issue of your favourite magazine outside, in the sun, is certainly one of life’s small pleasures. And, what a fabulous issue we’ve put together for you. There’s a renovated 1865 Whanganui cottage that is so filled with artworks that it’s like taking a tour of the contemporary New Zealand art scene with every turn of the page. In addition, the homeowner has carefully collected objet and furniture over the years from her travels both locally and overseas that add to this treasure trove of a home. Our Kiwis Living Abroad home is something you just don't see every day. Built in the 1600s and consisting of 12 trulli - traditional dry stone huts with conical roofs - dotted around a central tower on an olive farm in Puglia, Italy, it's furnished with modern designer classics, the odd antique piece, interesting artworks and collections of ceramics that all work surprisingly well with the architecture, making it a masterclass in combining old and new. Owned by expat Kiwi and star chef Tony Papas and his French wife Maureen, it really is extraordinary. As an urban dweller, our Special Feature this month is of particular interest to me as it's all about courtyards. We show you how considered design tricks and clever ideas can transform even the tightest of spaces. It's worth buying the issue for this feature alone as it will inspire you to look at whatever small or neglected space you have at home and maximise its use in preparation for living outside as much as possible over the next two seasons. NZ House & Garden now has a new digital home, on The Post website. See [here]( for latest content and subscription offers.

In time, however, she fell in love with the cottage and committed to its renovation and creating a beautiful garden around it. She has filled it with her incredible art collection which includes many works by Whanganui artists. It features in our new issue, on sale now. Expat chef's life among the olives in Puglia, Italy A handful of trulli in Puglia, Italy, has proved the perfect base for New Zealand chef Tony Papas and his French wife Maureen to start a new venture making premium olive oil. They've carefully renovated the trulli, or traditional dry stone huts with conical roofs, "breathing new life back into these significant historical buildings that are so meaningful to the region of Puglia."   [(   Marlborough cottage’s history honoured with remarkable reno The humble yet comprehensive renovation of an old farm cottage and garden, just outside Blenheim, is a triumph of restraint. Long-held in the family, the current owners kept to the existing footprint, reusing the original materials where possible, and even managed to create an extra living room by knocking together two bedrooms.   www.ultimateliving.co.nz?lid=3yuf5yf52jso Sponsored content Authentic German kitchens Sweet dreams are made by Schuller and Next125 – Ultimate Living's new suppliers of German kitchens.
