The renovation may be finished, but the work of creating a beautiful home never really ends. In Part 2 of this episode of The Edit, Matty J is back with Home Beautiful Editor Elle Lovelock to talk about what life looks like now that Chante Mer is open to guests - the letting go, the worrying, and the welcome basket decisions he probably overthought. He also gets into parenting, sharing the mental load, raising three daughters, and the lessons he hopes the next generation will inherit. And he shares the item discovered during the renovation that deepened his connection to the home's original owner, Val. Plus the one thing that keeps him up at night as a holiday-home owner. Hint: It involves lemon juice and marble. This episode covers: Running Chante Mer as a holiday stay Opening a family home to guests The realities of short-term rentals Holiday home hosting tips Sharing the mental load at home Modern fatherhood and parenting Raising daughters Family life with Laura Byrne <li aria-setsize="-1" data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="6" data-list-defn-props="{"335552541":1,"335559685":720,"335559991":360,"469769226":"Symbol","469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"","469777815":"hybridMultilevel"}
