Victoria Devine on the "quick" renovation that spiraled into something much bigger, and a discovery under the kitchen floor she never saw coming.

"It Was a Pile of Dirt": Victoria Devine's Worst Case Scenario

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.

In 2020, Lisa Burdus packed up her life in Australia and moved to the Cotswolds for what was meant to be three months. Six years on and she's still there, running her interior design business across two continents and calling it her "gap chapter." 

In this episode of The Edit, Lisa tells Home Beautiful Editor-in-Chief Elle Lovelock about hunting down a decades-old British rock star for Jeremy Clarkson’s man bar, why trust is the one non-negotiable in every client relationship, and how a stint working behind the scenes on Domestic Blitz taught her to be fearless with colour. 

Plus, Lisa shares the story behind the 150-year-old Italian tiles she tracked down solo on a weekend trip, and why food will always be her love language.
