Jennifer’s fans shared their thoughts on her advice, a number agreeing with her. One wrote: “Totally agree with the chopped pillows.”
“Finally someone said something about the pillows,” said another. One said they loved Jennifer’s pet hates, with one writing: “I would shiplap my whole house and I love it.”
One said, “Me watching this while sitting on my overstuffed leather sectional with cup holders,” and another said, “I won’t buy a couch without cup holders.”
One said: “Interior Design is a personal preference. There are no rules…” Another wrote: “This is exactly why I got rid of my personal designer when we built, she wanted everything she liked in my house.”
