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 realizing 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 colors 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.
