THE EDIT: Inside Cherie Barber’s Dream Farmhouse & And The Elvis Property That Got Away (Part 2)

After decades spent renovating for profit, Cherie Barber is doing things a little differently.  In Part 2 of her conversation with Home Beautiful Editor-in-Chief Elle Lovelock, Cherie takes us inside The Farmhouse, her sprawling Western Sydney project blending modern farmhouse style with her love of mid-century design. She explains why even a deeply personal home still needs to make financial sense, and how she decides where to follow her heart and where to think about resale.  Plus, Cherie reveals why she starts her days at 3:30am, how she solves renovation problems in her sleep and the incredible story of how she came tantalisingly close to owning Elvis Presley’s Palm Springs honeymoon home.  This episode covers:  - Inside Cherie Barber’s Western Sydney farmhouse - Mixing modern farmhouse and mid-century design - Taking colour inspiration from the surrounding landscape - Renovating for yourself vs renovating for resale - Why Cherie avoids design trends - Her surprising 3:30am morning routine - Solving renovation problems in her sleep - Cherie’s love of Palm Springs and mid-century architecture - The extraordinary story behind Elvis Presley’s honeymoon home - The property deal that got away You can find Cherie on Instagram here.   Read about Tinnie, Cherie’s humanoid robot here.   Check out Cherie’s 7 Top Renovating Tips 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: Cherie Barber  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.
