Staring at all these gorgeous photos makes it seem so easy, yet somehow when you actually try to style your own space with your own items, it always feels like something is missing, or it just doesn’t look as pinterest-ready as you’d like it too. I know the feeling! But did you know that there are actual secrets to getting the perfect arrangement ever time? And that you can do it with the things you already own?

Jackie has put together this great course to show you how. She walks you through all the secrets, like using visual triangles and layering, shows you how they work, and teaches you how to use each one to get great results in minimal time, and with only the things you already own.

Here is a moodboard I put together to show how applying the lessons in Jackie’s new Styling Secrets course can take a cluttered mantle and turn it into a classy arrangement. Once you know the methods, it’s easy!

Both mantels have the same varied decor items, but the end result is so different by applying the 7 Styling Secrets! As Jackie says, you already have decor that you like; you just need help arranging it in a way that looks amazing instead of just okay. If that sounds like you, be sure to sign up for the free workshop here. 

If you’re interested in sources for the moodboard above, here is a list:
