The Daily Home Edit

Carla Grace has built her career painting the wildlife she grew up with in South Africa. She’s just landed back in Australia after a piece of hers went under the hammer at Sotheby's in New York for an astounding $40,000. In this episode of The Edit , Carla tells Home Beautiful Editor-in-Chief Elle Lovelock about her childhood surrounded by rhinos, crocodiles and elephants, and how a stint without electricity in rural Zambia sparked the art career she's built over the past 12 years. Plus, Carla takes us through the art studio she and her husband spent a decade planning and saving for. The design is deeply intentional, down to the exact colour of the walls, so nothing would throw off-tone light onto her paintings. She also shares her honest advice on choosing frames and displaying art purposefully. Sending thanks to our partners at Kaboodle Kitchen.

Victoria Devine spends her working life thinking about the part of a home most of us would rather not think about... the cost. What we pay for it, what we can afford and what it really takes to call somewhere home. As a financial advisor, host of She's on the Money , and managing director of mortgage broking business Zella, she leads a team of 17 brokers helping everyday Australians onto the property ladder. But when it came to buying her own home, she broke nearly every rule in her own playbook. In this episode of The Edit , Victoria tells Home Beautiful Editor-in-Chief Elle Lovelock about the Saturday morning walk that ended with her calling a real estate agent to cancel an auction outright, and why the heart (almost) always wins when it comes to property. Plus, Victoria takes us on a tour of her light-filled forever home, and shares exactly how she renovated her Mornington Peninsula beach house kitchen for under $10,000.
