Where do you call home? We live on Meola Road in Point Chevalier, in a block of four townhouses. We were apprehensive about living so close to another house but are so lucky that we became best friends with our neighbours, James and Patrick. We’re always traipsing next door in our pyjamas for late-night cocktails. It’s so fun – it feels like we’re in a uni hall. Who lives with you? My fiance Stuart and stepsons Zachary and Elijah, who live with us half the time. What is your home like? It’s a new-build modern townhouse. When we were looking to buy a new house, we toyed with the idea of buying a fixer-upper to renovate, but as neither of us is a handy DIYer and we’re planning on growing our family,…

Couple goals If you haven’t yet discovered the elegant simplicity that is MMW Home, now might be an excellent time. The West Auckland bespoke furniture and cabinetry business – full name Mr & Mrs Ward – offers a range of cool basics and seasonal pieces. Its sleek, contemporary Slim Jim Drawers (left) are a customer favourite, and can be made to order in any colour – in this case, Resene Raptor. The husband and wife team behind the brand, designer Janice Kumar-Ward and cabinetmaker Julian Ward, have been making beautiful furniture together for more than 13 years. mmwhome.nz Light it up Auckland designer and sculptor Gidon Bing, who operates a multidisciplinary global business from a boatshed at Ōrākei, is releasing a gorgeous new ceramic lamp (left) under the brand Raumform. The brand brings…

BOOK OF THE MOMENT

“You must drink from places, for that is where wisdom resides,” proclaims the introduction to this photographic coffee table book by Kiwi designer David Trubridge, best known for his stylish handcrafted wooden lights and furniture. It’s a quote from anthropologist Keith Basso that David has taken to heart during his travels all over the planet. Now, David has pulled together his travel photos and journals into a visual love letter to the land, from the white-out of the Antarctic peninsula to the sun-baked lands of Arizona’s Grand Canyon. Antarctica, it turns out, first inspired David’s interest in photography, and since then the Hawke’s Bay resident has never roamed without his camera. Images in the book include snow-quilted mountains in Japan, craggy ranges in the far north of Argentina and an abandoned home…

BOOK OF THE MOMENT

Recommended reads

The 1970s and 80s weren’t kind to many things but they provided rich fodder for Wellington poet and writer Kate Camp, from her idyllic childhood and pothead teenage years to the sobering reality of adulthood. This memoir is a clever rattle through the messy ebb and flow of an ordinary Kiwi life. You Probably Think This Song Is About You by Kate Camp (Te Herenga Waka University Press, $35) Aliens could have landed on Earth and I wouldn’t have noticed, thanks to the engrossing 16th novel from award-winning writer Lisa Jewell. This is a patchwork of stories – a bag of human bones found in the Thames, siblings who survived a house of horrors, and the tragedy that binds them. The Family Remains by Lisa Jewell (Penguin Random House, $37) Northland writer Lauren Roache’s…

Enduring houses have the power to pull us towards them in ways that are not immediately recognised, as is the case with Maree Glass and her character cottage in Hamilton East. Maree, a contemporary artist and the manager of Sandz Gallery in Frankton Village, came to Kirikiriroa more than two decades ago, from a previous life of dairy farming at nearby Pirongia. Her first house in the city was a sprawling character home complete with pool that she shared with her children, Morgan, Matthew and Ben. Around that time she also completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Wintec School of Media Arts, which was a long-held ambition. Content with the area, she hasn’t strayed far since. She went on to renovate an ex-state house overlooking the river, including adding a studio…

Character & charm

Some people fall in love with shiny new houses with their sleek concrete floors and minimalist aesthetic. And then there are those who go starry-eyed over the original wooden floorboards and detailed ceilings of classic Kiwi villas and bungalows. Sharon Cody is firmly in the latter camp. The former banker, who last year started her own mortgage advisory business, Charter Home Loans, has always had a thing for character houses. “When I was 21, I bought my first house, which was built in the 1950s,” says the born and bred Wellingtonian. “But even back then it was my dream to own something older because I love original character features and I think it’s important to retain as many of those features as possible.” Sharon’s husband Daniel, a treasury manager, wasn’t always on…

Character & charm

Buying a home three times larger than the one you currently live in might seem daunting to some people. But for Aucklander Michelle Anson, who happily admits she is the opposite of Marie Kondo, getting the chance to display a lifetime’s worth of collecting was an interior addict’s dream come true. It also helped that the five-bedroom, four-bathroom Bayswater property she bought with her husband Len had been meticulously made over by the former owners, so the hard work was already done. “The house was perfect when we moved in,” says Michelle, who fell in love with its high stud, open spaces and abundance of natural light. “I loved the little design features throughout the house, such as the mosaic tiling in the entranceway, the beautiful wainscotting, and the vaulted ceiling with…

Kay Burne has learnt to eat her words. When her husband Ken found the Waihi property they now happily call home, she declared in horror: “I am not going to live there.” Back then the section, which lies on the main highway just north of the Hauraki District town, featured a little characterless house in a barren paddock, surrounded by barbed wire and old tin fencing. True to her word, she didn’t live there – at first. They bought two houses and tidied up both properties, and only then did Kay join Ken at the one that had initially horrified her. “All that has changed now,” she says of the home base where they’ve laboured together to transform both the house and its 2900sqm site. Bird feeders and old bedheads feature within flourishing…

MY COLOURFUL DOOR COMPETITION

TRANSFORM Whakahuri

THIS MONTH’S WINNER Down the lane In a cobbled Northcote Point laneway where all the character houses look similar, Juliet Sharper wanted her home to stand out. Overwhelmed by the huge amount of choice in the colour charts, she asked close friend Ange Weir to help her pick the perfect palette. “We chose a colour scheme that is fresh and fun and gives the place personality,” Juliet says. “Resene Hullabaloo is vibrant, warm, welcoming, and perfect for the style of our house and front door.” The contrasting trim, verandah and roof colours were chosen to suit the home’s character while remaining sympathetic to its heritage look. “I think the door pops against the weatherboards and I am thrilled with the final result.”…

MODERN MAKEOVER

A charming mid-century bungalow is given a stylish upgrade by interior designer and Haven columnist Mary-Ellen Hinton. Gone are the poky rooms with awkward, cramped layouts, and in their place, light-filled open-plan spaces are the hero of this modern design story. Who lives here? A busy family of five, with children aged from eight to 13. Where is it? Near the beach in Narrow Neck, on Auckland’s North Shore. What was the house like pre-renovation? The home was built in the 1950s and, like many houses of that era, it had one small bathroom, three bedrooms and not enough natural light. What was the configuration like? It was essentially in two parts – the original brick at the rear and a new wooden extension at the front. It was dark, small and desperately in…

MODERN MAKEOVER

Magic realism It may be impermanent, but this living painting makes a stunning installation for a special gathering at home, a wedding or a fashion or design event. 1 Find an old ornate frame and paint it the colour of your choice. 2 Stretch a piece of sturdy neutral fabric tautly across the back of the frame and use a staple gun to attach it. 3 Source a floral image and paste it onto the back of your homemade fabric canvas. 4 Using an art knife, carefully cut out the top half of the glued-on picture and fabric, then fold it down so it looks as if it is spilling out of the bottom of the frame. 5 Attach a large piece of floral foam to a shallow tray with strong glue, then mount the tray…

CHOOSING ART FOR YOUR HOME

I have a fine arts degree with a major in photography, so in my book, adding art to your home is a must! As an interior designer I see homes as my canvas; there’s nothing worse than a lot of blank white walls crying out for colour. Art makes a house a home, and choosing the right pieces is key to making a room look lived in and loved. But it’s easier said than done! No matter what your style, I believe the most important thing is to choose art and objects you relate to. After all, you’re going to be living with them every day. If you’re a minimalist, two or three larger pieces in key locations will make your home feel less stark. If you’re a maximalist, you may…

CHOOSING ART FOR YOUR HOME

Many will agree that colour induces an array of emotions. But what if we told you that we live in a far greyer world due to mass consumerism and a global decline in culture? A wild discovery by a research group used machine learning to track colour changes in everyday items. All commodities, from bed sheets to cars dating back to the 1800s, were colour-coded and added to a database. What they found was a prominent skew of colour disappearing from the world. The modern homes of the 70s featured bold oranges, emerald greens and wallpapers bursting with textural patterns. Since Mies Van der Rohe introduced Modernism to the world, contemporary homes of today are minimal, neutral and stripped back, with a singular colour used as a feature if they decide…

This tablescape draws inspiration from Dutch master painters of the 17th century. Attention to detail, the interplay of light on flowers and fabrics, and highlighting the beauty in nature are hallmarks of Dutch master still lifes. Here, the floral centrepiece is the focal point. Guests will be enchanted and drawn to the many compotes and bowls overflowing with fruits and berries. Plums, figs, grapes, pears and pomegranates add to the sultry palette and create an opportunity for your guests to nibble as they await the first course. The table starts with a dusty blue-grey table cover. The muted blue reads as a neutral backdrop, allowing the mauve napkins to pop. You can be flexible here – any shade of grey will work as your base table linen. In selecting your napkin colour, draw inspiration…

INSIDE-OUT LIVING

When I was kid growing up in the 1980s, my family’s striped brown-and-orange three-seater swing chair was a hub when it came to relaxation destinations around our home. It was situated underneath a sunny verandah overlooking a lush lawn bordered with roses, alyssum and a silver birch. Aunties and uncles and grandparents congregated on it and chatted the hours away during birthday parties and Christmases, my dad would pop home on his lunch break and sit there in the sun while he worked his way through a giant plate of sandwiches and read his library book, and many a childhood plan was hatched there, including the one where I dared my sister to throw an egg at the house and promised she wouldn’t get in trouble. She did. Gardens are a…

Tasks for October

PLAN A SUMMER FEAST Once the last frost has passed, you can push play on planting all summer crops, including tomatoes, cucumbers, chillies, zucchinis and beans. Usually this is around Labour Weekend, but if you want to get a head start, put a cloche around them to keep them nice and cosy. You can make one by upcycling a plastic bottle, cutting off the bottom and placing it, lid removed, over young seedlings. Just remember to water them. Now is also a good time to sow crops from seed. Raise tomatoes, chillies, and spring onions in trays of moist potting mix in a bright, sheltered spot such as a glasshouse or conservatory and pot them into individual pots when they have their second set of true leaves. Cucumbers, corn, beans, melons,…

Tasks for October

Garden in a vase

Arrange a crooked bunch 1 This arrangement captures one of my favourite interior colour-blocking schemes right now, where the richness of mustard and caramel is contrasted with refreshing white. I used cymbidium and phalaenopsis orchids, pieris, and muehlenbeckia and kōwhai foliage. You could buy the flowers and forage through your garden for greenery, making sure to leave the stems long to give your arrangement height. A generous-sized smoky amber vase brings all the tones and textures together beautifully 2 Start by adding your foliage to the vase. Instead of evenly centring it, allow it to fall naturally in an asymmetrical way, as it might in nature. I love the way the delicate intertwining branches of muehlenbeckia act as wonderfully wispy filler, then resemble tree roots submerged in water at the base of…

Garden in a vase

Ruby Seeto describes herself as “glass half-full”. But it’s not just her name and rosy disposition that sparkle. For the last 14 years, the talented 25-year-old cancer survivor has raised more than $670,000 for Starship Child Health by designing tea towels and washcloth sets, which she sells in partnership with Wallace Cotton. She lives in a pink house with a yellow door that’s filled with colourful art and furniture and two cute dogs named Frankie and Ralph. “Dad’s an architect, so our Auckland home is quite quirky,” she says. “He’s also a big fan of chairs, so we have no shortage of them in our house! From armchairs to ottomans to the chaise longue and everything in between.” Luckily, the dogs have their own places to sit. Frankie, a miniature cavoodle who just…
