The latest from NZ House & Garden magazine. [padding] [If you are unable to view this message correctly, click here]( [padding] [padding] [spacer] [Stuff Logo]( [spacer] [spacer] [padding] [stuff header]( [spacer] [padding] Hi {NAME},  The world seems to be in a spiral right now with so many things – crazy weather patterns, record high inflation, Covid, war – all coming together at once, which makes it feel like joy is thin on the ground. I guess that’s where cliches like “stop and smell the roses” come to the fore. My suggested idiom equivalent would be “stop and read NZ House & Garden” because the act of just taking time out, sitting down and reading something you enjoy will lift your spirits. Our August issue, on sale now, is full of Kiwi stories, from our Meet the Maker Bonco, aka Paul Nathan, whose abstract geometric artworks will inspire, fashion doyenne Elisabeth Findlay who co-founded iconic New Zealand label Zambesi in 1979, through to our homeowners and gardeners from across the motu who have poured love and time into their properties with spectacular results. This month's homeowners in particular have defined luxe living via their personal style – from the lavish wallpapers, chandeliers and plush velvets of the revamped Old Eltham Post Office to the relaxed glamour of our Home of the Month, the historic Glen Aros Estate in Hawke’s Bay, complete with a large billiard room, resort-style pool, stables and horses. Then there are our food creatives' delicious contributions – food editor Julie Le Clerc’s recipes that transform humble grains and pulses into nourishing comforting dishes, along with Maite Paternain’s five decadent ways with creme fraîche. So forget the craziness for a while and enjoy our new issue.

The couple who bought it saw the dilapidated building for sale when they were here on holiday from Australia and over the past couple of years have turned it into their home and a B&B, doing much of the work themselves.  [padding] [spacer] [padding] [spacer][separator] [padding] [spacer] [padding] [padding] [advertisement]( [spacer] [padding] [Advertisement]( [padding] [spacer] [padding] [spacer][separator] [padding] [spacer] [padding] [spacer] The castle on the sand in Taranaki [padding] A spectacular art-filled home with floor-to-ceiling windows matches its dramatic setting on a double beachfront site in Ōakura.
