In this episode of The Edit, Felicity tells Home Beautiful Editor-in-Chief Elle Lovelock how her team transformed historic South Australian properties, built entire homes from scratch and used everything from architecture and landscaping to furniture, colour and the smallest objects in a room to tell the story of the characters who live there. 

Plus, Felicity reveals the surprising Victorian status symbol she discovered during her research, and the painstaking tricks used to make heritage locations and studio-built interiors appear completely seamless on screen. 

This episode covers: 
Why My Brilliant Career brought Felicity back to Australia after nine years overseas 
How she begins designing a world from the script and its characters 
Finding the historic South Australian homes used in the series 
Building entire houses and interiors from scratch 
Making the architecture feel distinctly Australian 
Why colour is the foundation of Felicity's production design 
Sourcing and creating Victorian furniture, antiques and homewares 
How tiny household objects reveal a character's backstory

The magic - and sadness - of watching a film set come to life and eventually disappear

Sophie Tieman on the bathroom renovation gone so wrong it nearly ended in a Fair Work complaint... and the one step she skipped that could've avoided it all.

"I'm Taking You To Fair Work": Sophie Tieman's Worst Case Scenario

Sophie Tieman grew up with a paintbrush in hand, helping her parents flip houses in Tasmania. That love of property carried into a 15-year career in commercial real estate... until one night at 10pm when she decided to walk away from it all and build something completely new. 

In this episode of The Edit, Sophie tells Home Beautiful Editor-in-Chief Elle Lovelock about launching The Corporate Edit, a one-stop fashion shop for women in business, why she handed in her notice before telling anyone what she was building, and her honest advice for anyone sitting on an idea of their own. 

Plus, Sophie shares how she completely transformed a dark 1970s townhouse during COVID, how she’s making her new home with “good bones” feel like her own, and her best hack for making a narrow home feel twice the size.
