There's a particular magic in stepping inside someone's home and hearing the story of how it came to be. That's the experience offered by Vantage at Home with Your Home & Garden. Each episode is a personal tour, guided by Fiona Hawtin, the editor of Your Home & Garden magazine. She doesn't just admire the finished spaces; she sits down with the homeowners themselves, uncovering the journey behind their beautiful kiwi homes. You'll hear about the initial vision, the challenges faced during renovations or builds, and the personal choices that make a house a true home. This podcast, brought to you by Vantage Windows & Doors, goes beyond the glossy pages to capture the voices and the lived-in character of these special places. It's for anyone curious about design, inspired by real-life transformations, or who simply loves the idea of a good chat about what makes a home feel right. Tune in for genuine conversations that explore the heart of New Zealand's leisure, garden, and home life, one unique story at a time.
