What Students Say About This Class
Seattle, Washington
"Before Jackie's bookshelf styling class, everything felt cluttered and off balance. Now, my shelves feel like everything is displayed on purpose instead of a giant catch all!"
"Now I am so very happy with these shelves. With my decor scheme of a few contrasting accent colors and what totals as four large shelves, it was very challenging to get the mix right. The finished result fits our home perfectly! Lots of texture and color and meaning without being too hodge podge. My favorite part is that these shelves showcase the things I care most about in this world."
