THE EDIT

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 Part 2 of this episode of The Edit with Deborah Hutton, Elle Lovelock gets into the personal stories and design details that didn’t make it into Part 1 - and there are plenty of both. Deb shares the story behind two significant skin cancer surgeries and how a viral post and a hat company email led to the creation of Canopy Bay, her sun protection hat range. She also reflects on a career that took her from modeling at 16, through 14 years as the face of Qantas and a dance with John Travolta, to editing magazines and hosting some of Australia's biggest TV shows. And then it's back to the build, and the design decisions that are making her South Coast home unlike anything she's done before. This is Part 2 of a two-part conversation with Deborah Hutton.

Deborah Hutton has worn many hats - TV presenter, magazine editor, model - but now she's doing something she's never done before: project manager and interior designer.

Should a robot ever be allowed to fold your laundry? It sounds like a throwaway question, but it cuts right to the heart of what the Australian home is becoming. In Part 2 of this bonus episode, recorded live at Metricon’s National Love of Design Summit, Home Beautiful Editor-in-Chief Elle Lovelock hands the microphone to the audience, and the panel of Ali Whelan (Breathe Architecture), Michael Leung (Balanced Earth Architects), Neil Hipwell (Futureflip) and James Treble takes on questions no one saw coming. Together they imagine the Australian home of the future, smaller, smarter and far more adaptable, explore why builders who’ve created some of the most high-tech houses in the country are quietly stepping away from the tech, and answer the question that nearly stumped all four of them: what’s the internal compass that drives you? Moments You’ll Hear: Why the Australian home of the future is smaller, smarter and more adaptable The affordability and trade-shortage puzzle shaping what we can actually build Why a half-a-million-dollar smart home taught Neil an expensive lesson The case for “low-tech first”, and why a little friction is worth protecting Whether a laundry full of robots would quietly kill a building’s community The question that nearly stumped the panel: what’s your internal compass?
