THE EDIT

Richi Grisillo is the hairstylist behind names like Eva Mendes, Tyra Banks and G Flip, and a global ambassador for Moroccanoil. But when he's not backstage at Fashion Week or on tour with musicians, he's baking chocolate cake and preserves for a shot at a ribbon at the Sydney Royal Easter Show. 

In this episode of The Edit, Richi chats to Home Beautiful Editor-in-Chief (and his real-life client) Elle Lovelock about closing the salon he opened at 28, building a smaller, more private studio in its place, and the surprisingly daunting experience of competing against the Country Women’s Association for the first time. 

Plus, Richi opens up on why he moved back home with his parents in his 30s, his dream of a modern farmhouse with a kitchen garden, and why he thinks you should never trust someone who doesn't serve dessert. 

This episode covers: 

• Growing up half Italian and food as a love language 
• His first Sydney Royal Easter Show baking debut, up against the CWA 
• Opening a salon at 28 and the decision to close it a decade later 
• Life after the salon: building Academy Privé 
• Working with Eva Mendes, Tyra Banks, G Flip and on tour with rising stars 
• Teaching the next generation of stylists 
• Why he calls social media "a necessary evil" 
• AI, soul, and why imperfection is the point 
• His dream home: a modern farmhouse with a kitchen garden 
• Moving back in with his parents in his 30s 
• What makes a home beautiful

Welcome to Worst Case Scenario, a new bite-sized episode from Home Beautiful’s The Edit podcast, where we ask our guests about their biggest ‘oh-no’ moment in the home.  

Today, Lizzie Binks shares the time she tried to recreate an Instagram-perfect living room, including the armchairs, coffee table and rug, only to get it home and realise it hadn't gone exactly to plan. An expensive lesson in why what looks good for someone else doesn't always work for you.

You know Sundae from the whipped-cream-can body wash that took over supermarket shelves. Behind the brand is founder Lizzie Binks, who's built the business into a brand stocked in more than 10,000 stores across 14 countries. And all that in just six years. 

In this episode of The Edit, Lizzie chats to Home Beautiful Editor-in-Chief Elle Lovelock about the COVID-era supermarket trip that sparked the idea for Sundae, the moment she had to bet everything on the business before the website had even launched, and how ‘joy’ became more than just a brand tagline. 

Plus, Lizzie takes us inside her colour-filled, water-view home, explains scent stacking, and reveals the surprisingly low-key ritual, involving a pair of gumboots, that bookends every single day. 

This episode covers: 

• Growing up between Melbourne, Sydney and Singapore 
• The COVID-era supermarket aisle that sparked Sundae 
• Turning a side hustle into a full-time business overnight 
• Being risk-averse and betting everything on Woolworths and Priceline 
• Life before Sundae: Disney, TikTok and the media buying world 
• Time blocking, context switching and running a business across 14 countries 
• Scent stacking, and how Sundae's rainbow of scents came to be 
• Her love of baking (and that infamous Women's Weekly duck cake) 
• Otis the Groodle, and the two dog park visits that bookend her day 
• What makes her house a home

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.   

This episode covers:  

• Deborah Hutton’s skin cancer story and why early detection matters 

• How a viral post and a hat company email sparked Canopy Bay 

• UPF 50+ sun protection and why not all hats are equal 

• The get-your-skin-checked message Deb is passionate about 

• A career from modeling at 16 to Qantas, Travolta and TV 

• What Deb has up her sleeve after the build is done 

• The mystery drawer moment 

• Moving away from white: the design evolution from Bronte to the South Coast 

• The powder room that started it all: eurowalls mural, rattan vanity and a hundi light 

• Taj Mahal quartzite, solid timber joinery and the kitchen island as furniture 

• Alfresco Emporium, Restoration Hardware sofas and the case against the sofa crack 

• Storage, decluttering and starting afresh 

• House rules, fresh flowers, daggy ‘80s playlists and stress-cleaning 

• What makes a home beautiful to Deb

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.  

This is Part 1 of a two-part conversation with Deborah Hutton. 

This episode covers:  

• Deborah Hutton’s South Coast build 

• Why Deb sold her Bronte house and left Sydney 

• Working with architect Walter Barda 

• The landslide, geotech and 70 concrete piers that shaped the build 

• The self-contained studio and why Deb decided to build it 

• The steam room, master bedroom and infrared sauna 

• A green colour palette that surprised even Deb 

• The design inspiration behind the house 

• Wall sconces, candlelight and a home designed for entertaining 

• Why Deb hosts 12-hour lunches and how she does it
