She's On The Money's Victoria Devine On Renovating A Kitchen For Under $10,000

Victoria Devine spends her working life thinking about the part of a home most of us would rather not think about... the cost. What we pay for it, what we can afford and what it really takes to call somewhere home. As a financial advisor, host of She's on the Money, and managing director of mortgage broking business Zella, she leads a team of 17 brokers helping everyday Australians onto the property ladder.  But when it came to buying her own home, she broke nearly every rule in her own playbook.  In this episode of The Edit, Victoria tells Home Beautiful Editor-in-Chief Elle Lovelock about the Saturday morning walk that ended with her calling a real estate agent to cancel an auction outright, and why the heart (almost) always wins when it comes to property.  Plus, Victoria takes us on a tour of her light-filled forever home, and shares exactly how she renovated her Mornington Peninsula beach house kitchen for under $10,000.  Sending thanks to our partners at Kaboodle Kitchen.   Explore kitchen and laundry inspiration at kaboodle.com.au  This episode covers: Her career pivot from psychology to financial advice  The $40,000 in personal debt that changed the course of her career  Who makes up the She's on the Money community  Why property decisions are never as logical as we think  Buying her forever home, and breaking every rule she teaches  A tour of her home, from the mudroom to the indoor-outdoor fireplace  Inside her 1970s Mornington Peninsula beach house  Renovating her beach house kitchen for under $10,000  A listener's laundry renovation dilemma  Quickfire house rules: bread, a coffee subscription and no big lights  Mystery drawer: the two items that never stay in one place  What makes a home beautiful  Disclaimer: The information provided in this episode is for general informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute financial, legal, or tax advice.
