It’s a celebration of art, design, and beauty as Isn’t it Lovely? welcomes dear friend and favorite creative Christy Steen to the podcast! Christy shares suggestions for imaginatively uncovering “beauty from ashes” and making design accessible, including exploring garage and estate sales and Facebook Marketplace for treasures, embracing concepts of repurposing and recycling, and paring down and rearranging existing items. Christy and Tracy encourage leaning into curiosity and risk-taking to discover sources of inspiration, as well as the influences of nature, repetition and unity to bring balance, harmony, and warmth to a space. Christy and Rachel discuss receiving God’s kindness in moments of doubt and vulnerability and how to counteract shame scripts to embrace the truth of who He created His children to be. The What Are You Loving? segment is heavy on actor Val Kilmer, as Tracy joins millions in praising Top Gun: Maverick and Rachel defends Val’s penchant for wearing turquoise jewelry.
