If you’re at a loss for what to do with a coffee table, layering these are a great option for styling. When styling a large bookcase, you cannot do it without books. You don’t want everything sitting flat on a shelf and when you need to raise and lower certain pieces, books are the way to do it. Another tip is using wallpaper to cover books! Taking the time to personalize a gift can make such an impact on friends and family.   Two of Joann and Kelly’s favorite things are also featured on Oprah’s list - Cozy Earth pajamas and the Paravel Large Cabana Tote!
