Georgia Huestis has seen both ends of the art world, from brokering high-value sales at auction houses and galleries in London and New York, to now running the Affordable Art Fair across Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, where original works start from just $100. 

In this episode of The Edit, Georgia chats to Home Beautiful Editor-in-Chief Elle Lovelock about growing up surrounded by art and fashion, how to actually choose and buy art you'll love, and her simple rule for hanging it well. 

Plus, Georgia takes us inside her Melbourne home; a cream brick house she describes as "not her style... yet", peeling back thick carpet, pulling off wallpaper and raising three young daughters in a house she says the art does all the heavy lifting for.

And enjoy this first peek into Part 1 of the iconic Deborah Hutton's episode of The Edit!

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. After selling her house in Bronte, she bought a crumbling red brick cottage overlooking the ocean south of Sydney and is now deep in a build she describes as the home of her life. 

In this episode of The Edit, Deb joins Home Beautiful Editor-in-Chief Elle Lovelock to talk about what drew her away from Sydney to the tiny seaside community of Wombarra, why she chose to work with architect Walter Barda, and how a landslide, a geotech and 70 concrete piers all became part of the story.  

Plus, Deb shares why there’s not a drop of white in the colour palette, how a visit to Huka Lodge in New Zealand shaped the entire aesthetic, and why she’s building this house entirely for bringing people together.
