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.

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.
