Episode Description from the Publisher

In 2020, Lisa Burdus packed up her life in Australia and moved to the Cotswolds for what was meant to be three months. Six years on and she's still there, running her interior design business across two continents and calling it her "gap chapter."  In this episode of The Edit, Lisa tells Home Beautiful Editor-in-Chief Elle Lovelock about hunting down a decades-old British rock star for Jeremy Clarkson’s man bar, why trust is the one non-negotiable in every client relationship, and how a stint working behind the scenes on Domestic Blitz taught her to be fearless with colour.  Plus, Lisa shares the story behind the 150-year-old Italian tiles she tracked down solo on a weekend trip, and why food will always be her love language.  Sending thanks to our partners at Kaboodle Kitchen.  Explore kitchen and laundry inspiration at kaboodle.com.au  This episode covers:  Packing up her life in Australia for a six-year "gap chapter"  Running a business and raising five kids  What she learned working behind the scenes on Domestic Blitz  Designing Jeremy Clarkson's man bar, and tracking down a long-lost artist  Bringing UK fabric and wallpaper brands into Australia  Why trust is the most important part of any client relationship  Cooking, entertaining and a lifelong dinner set obsession  Hunting down 150-year-old splashback tiles in Italy  Mystery drawer: the Paris-made journals she scrapbooks her travels into  Her biggest design pet peeve  What makes a home beautiful  Find Lisa on Instagram 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: Lisa Burdus  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.
