We’re proud to have created custom closet solutions for local KTRS celebrities! Our designers recently had the opportunity to work with Kelly Jackson, Jennifer Blome, and Julie Buck. As natives of Saint Louis, we watch or listen to these featured journalists every week. Take a look at how we were able to add a little organization and style to their lives.
Kelly Jackson
If you’ve ever listened to McGraw in the Morning on KTRS the Big 550, or watched 5 on Your Side, you’re familiar with anchorwoman and emmy-nominated journalist Kelly Jackson. She started at KSDK in 1998, worked briefly at a sister station in Sacramento, and returned to her hometown and teamed up with McGraw in 2014. Well-known for her sense of style, Kelly anchors the weekend edition of Today in Saint Louis. Kelly has a love for everything St. Louis. When she’s not promoting our fair city, she’s supporting her other great passion: animals. She advocates for animal rescue and loves hanging around town with her own adorable furball, LaRue.
Kelly hosts Today in St. Louis with a goal of helping people de-stress. Perhaps it’s no wonder, then, that she chose to eliminate stress in her own home with a custom-designed closet that provides a well-organized space for everything. Kelly chose classic white shelving and lots of light to highlight her wardrobe and make it easier for her to start the day.
Here’s Kelly’s Insta-famous pooch, LaRue, posing in front of her very own part of the closet – a stylish selection of dog outfits!
Jennifer Blome
For over 30 years, KSDK anchor Jennifer Blome made your mornings a little better. As a veteran of KSDK-TV, she had the opportunity to anchor the first morning newscast in our city, Today in St. Louis. She’s worked with big names in the business, including Tom O’Neal, Pat McGonigle, and Art Holiday. Currently, Jennifer hosts the Jennifer & Jay Show on KTRS, but look for her to soon reunite with Art Holiday for the Jennifer & Art Show.
During the course of her career, Jennifer has educated St. Louisans about mental health and animal welfare, two of her favorite causes. For three years, in fact, Jennifer has led the department of Humane Education at the APA of Missouri. She has participated in a number of other programs to benefit animals, including the PetReach program and the Prison Art Program. Jennifer also works with young children, teaching them to be compassionate and responsible pet owners. She’s branching out soon to launch an anti-violence campaign for kids called “No More Bullying.” Having received a Master’s in Social Work from Washington University, Jennifer has plenty of expertise. We’re privileged to have her in Richmond Heights, where she lives with her partner Dave and three dogs: Roy, Clyde, and Pollyanna.
In May of 2017, Jennifer decided to hit the airwaves again, joining Jon Grayson on The Inside. She’s just as funny and authentic on radio as she was on television. Jennifer is loving every minute of her new life, and we were happy to get to know her better and create a space where she could shine. You can catch Jennifer weekday mornings at 10:00 am on the Big 550 KTRS.
Saint Louis Closet and Co. created a beautiful home office space and roomy pantry for Jennifer and her pup. Take a look!
Julie Buck
Julie is another native of St. Louis who has devoted time and energy to volunteer work on top of her wide-ranging career in media. Maybe it’s genetic. After all, she is the daughter of the late Cardinal and KMOX announcer Jack Buck and sister to sportscaster Joe Buck. Listen to this impressive line-up: Julie has worked in both radio and television; branched out to pursue real estate with her business partner Laura McCarthy; and volunteered or acted as a board member with the St. Louis Children’s Hospital, Kidsmart, and MICDS.
Julie continues to be a part of the St. Louis radio scene. Currently, she broadcasts with John Carney on The Carney Show every weekday at 12:30 on the Big 550. She also hosts Girl Talk with Nicole Genovese, a lively, engaging talk show for women in St. Louis. Listen in to get tips on everything fabulous, including fashion, health, parenting and more. It’s like having lunch with your best girlfriends. Julie and her husband have three children and they’re proud to be a part of the St. Louis community.
We were thrilled to give Julie this wonderful space. Here she is in her large walk-in closet, proudly built by Saint Louis Closet Co.
