inter is approaching, and thanks to our wonderful contributors, the team at Abode magazine is feeling ready. This issue sees a change of scene for us as we farewell the lovely Sarah Gray and welcome our new designer Jen McBride who graces our pages with her passion for design. While some will undoubtedly be taking advantage of the new trans-Tasman travel bubble and escaping to sunnier Australian shores this season, it’s also a great time to focus on making our homes into cosy havens. I’m personally counting down the days until the central heating in our 1930s home will be installed. It’s an indulgence I’m grateful for to soften the blow of the frosty Ōtautahi winter. As you can imagine with an older home, there are more things we’d like to get done, and the work in progress is all part of the fun. There’s nothing like the feeling of putting your own stamp on things. This issue sees a focus on interiors, with beautiful styling and essential advice. We’ve explored some fantastic places to go to furnish your home, and whether you’re renovating, building or just going for a refresh, we reveal some creative ways to develop your own unique style. Our latest line-up of homes is filled with inspiration. On the cover is a dreamy, Canadian-inspired alpine escape in Castle Hill. We visit a beautiful vineyard home in Nelson’s Moutere Valley. There’s a hillside retreat in Mt Pleasant with sublime sea views. An urban oasis in central Blenheim designed to bring the outdoors in, and an exquisite forever family home in St Albans. Our international home is a playful, industrial celebration of colour in Johannesburg.
