Not crazy about those chairs in your living room?
Jacqueline Onassis Kennedy occasionally had interior design woes of her own. Dozens of her personal notes about home décor from the 1980s and 1990s will be auctioned in Florida on Saturday. Notes about black chairs she wasn't a fan of and sketches of clothing and photographs will be included in the bidding.
The collection includes correspondence to Bill Hamilton, once the director of Carolina Herrera, and Richard Keith Langham, her interior designer. It also features photographs by Bob Davidoff, who was the Kennedy family's photographer in Palm Beach, Fla., according to Palm Beach Modern Auctions co-owner Rico Baca.
The offerings are expected to go for $800 to $1200 each.

The handwritten notes include sketches and show the "generous spirit" and respect Onassis had for the designers, Baca told USA TODAY Network.
"The notes reflect the more personal side of Jackie Onassis," said Baca. "You can't invite someone into your home and have them help you with interior design or with your clothing without really opening up and being vulnerable."
