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.   Explore kitchen and laundry inspiration at kaboodle.com.au  This episode covers:  Landing back from New York after selling a painting at Sotheby's  Growing up surrounded by wildlife in Zimbabwe  Her formative years in New Zealand and Zambia  How a home with no power led her to art  Building her art studio out of repurposed kitchen cabinets  What her parents think of her career now  What "success" really means after 12 years in the art industry  Inside her 1980s farmhouse, mid-renovation  Can rhinos paint?  A listener dilemma – everything especially the kitchen sink  What makes a home beautiful  You can find Carla on Instagram here.  Check out Carla’s amazing art on her website here.   🎧 Listen to The Edit and follow on Apple Podcasts  Listen and follow on Spotify  👀 Watch and subscribe to The Edit on Home Beautiful's YouTube  Watch full episodes  Credits:  Host: Elle Lovelock  Guest: Carla Grace  Edited by: Leah Porges  Head of Vodcasting: Rachel Fountain  With thanks to our wonderful Home Beautiful team.  The Edit is a production of Home Beautiful and Are Media. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.  Sending thanks to our partners at Kaboodle Kitchen.   Explore kitchen and laundry inspiration at kaboodle.com.au  This episode covers: Her career pivot from psychology to financial advice  The $40,000 in personal debt that changed the course of her career  Who makes up the She's on the Money community  Why property decisions are never as logical as we think  Buying her forever home, and breaking every rule she teaches  A tour of her home, from the mudroom to the indoor-outdoor fireplace  Inside her 1970s Mornington Peninsula beach house  Renovating her beach house kitchen for under $10,000  A listener's laundry renovation dilemma  Quickfire house rules: bread, a coffee subscription and no big lights  Mystery drawer: the two items that never stay in one place  What makes a home beautiful  Disclaimer: The information provided in this episode is for general informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute financial, legal, or tax advice.
