Living With Kids: Trina McNeilly
- Trina McNeilly's home is a splendid mix of beauty and beast where not one space is too precious or perfect for her four children and it looks utterly perfect and absolutely precious at the same time.
- Trina tells the story of how she was apprehensive about moving back into the home she grew up in, but she couldn't resist the sentiment and persuasive powers of her husband.
- She has made changes to the house over the years, trying to balance her own style and her family's opinions, but in the end, she decided to just decorate it with what she loves and not take things too seriously.
- Trina's home is a fun, lived-in space that she hopes will create warm memories for her children, just as it did for her growing up.
- Her biggest advice for decorating a home is to use what you love without taking your space too seriously and making it your favorite place to be.
- As a mother of four, Trina admits that parenting is full of highs and lows, and all she can do is offer grace and accept it herself, while forgiving herself and providing the best for her children.
- Trina finds her best design inspiration through travel and the colorful doors of England.
- She has come to accept that balance is kind of a myth, and that surrendering to the idea of an imperfect life is the perfect thing.
- Trina's greatest hope for her children is to know that there is no place like home, not in a way that they never want to leave or always feel they must return, but in a way that their tie to it would be strong because it was a place where they were equipped with courage and encouragement to go out into the world and become the very person they were made to be.
- Her children and their friends are invited to come over and enjoy a fun, lived in, and imaginative home that is straight-out magical.
