Description
Find new value, purpose, and joy as you restore and uncover beauty in your home and (most importantly) in your life.
The only thing more beautiful than home transformation is personal transformation. In White & Faded, Janet Parrella-Van Den Berg takes you on a hope-filled journey to discover the hidden beauty in your own home and heart.
We've all experienced it at some time. Like an old piece of furniture, we have felt unloved, discarded, neglected, or valueless. We've struggled with our own self-worth in moments of darkness when we feel like nobody cares about us and nobody wants us. But in these moments of despair, sometimes the beginning of a journey toward hope can come from unlikely sources… like uncovering the charm and elegance of an antique chair or dresser that has had its true worth obscured by years of disuse and realising that, like that antique, we still have beauty and life within ourselves.
In White & Faded, Janet Parrella-Van Den Berg takes you on a stunning photographic tour through her restored English homes as she invites you into her personal journey of restoring her own sense of value and purpose—and reveals how you can do the same. So, what is White & Faded? As Janet explains, she loves white things as a culmination of all colours and a representation of new mercies. And she loves faded things, such as cast-aside furniture, as a reminder that even what is painful or imperfect can be repurposed to reveal hidden beauty.
Throughout this gorgeous and inspiring book, Janet offers insights into both the literal and metaphorical aspects of white and faded as she draws on her decades of experience to offer you:
- Full-colour photography of restored English country homes, including a 1767 Georgian rectory in Kent and a home originally built in 1500
- Practical restoration tips—from large-scale homes to smaller antiques
- Fresh decorative ideas you can adapt to your own style, home, and season of life
- Fun inspiration—from antique to modern—ideal for fans of HGTV and Magnolia Network
- Inspiration to incorporate a touch of seasonal charm throughout the year
- How to make white work with kids and pets
- A window into her own remarkable story of trauma, love, and rediscovered identity
White & Faded will inspire you as you begin to create a place in your life where you feel loved, find healing, and discover new treasures. You deserve to feel loved; begin the journey today to restore your home and your heart.
