Description: Through beautiful designs and imagery, LA LA LOVELY invites readers to find their true identity where there is brokenness, discover the love of God, and design their own special place of beauty.
Author Trina McNeilly has been blogging for nearly a decade. While she spent her days sharing beauty, looking for lovely things, and redecorating her childhood home, her parents' unexpected divorce shattered her ideals of "home."Through this journey, Trina learned that beauty is not beyond the laundry pile, chipped paint, dirty dishes, broken table or broken life. It's right in the center of it. Trina found that God IS beauty. And that he invites us to look, discover, uncover and find because when we find beauty, we find God. In LA LA LOVELY, Trina shares stories and inspiration from her journey of finding, and being found, by beauty. You will find deep matters of the heart along with practical pointers on things like decorating your home, finding your style, and creating beautiful spaces. Each chapter offers essays, beautiful photographs, design tips, and practical advice for creating a place of beauty and belonging no matter where you live or what you're going through.
Review Quotes: "Trina's book is lovely, but the words and content inside massively exceed the beauty of the cover. This is a book that embraces the tension of "and". We can talk about lovely things AND talk about real things. We can embrace the artistry around us, we can enhance the beauty we find, AND we can also see the broken, partnering with God in redeeming it all. Reading this, you'll be encouraged and spurred on, inspired and ignited to find the lovely around you AND equipped to add to it. I can't suggest it enough!"--Jess Connolly, speaker and author of Wild and Free and Dance Stand Run
