NZ House & Garden J U N E IS SU E ON S A L E 2 2 M AY 2017-05-01 - Colder days are on the way, so we banish the dreary and visit homes where colour and character rule… from a Wanaka new build inspired by the Arts and Crafts Movement to a coastal Gisborne home that’s nirvana for its American owners. Bright borders and brilliant planting in a ruggedly beautiful coastal setting – no wonder this Banks Peninsula garden is a magnet for visitors. We’re making the most of the humble oat… from this health-boosting blueberry and oat smoothie to the poshest porridge we’ve ever sampled. A couple of Auckland escapees find that a little weatherboard church near Nelson is the perfect home for their collection of unusual curiosities. A Carterton artist’s work is splashed with bold hues, and so is her home, which is also filled with the work of her late husband, a celebrated potter.
