Meet Jessica

Hello friends, welcome to Nooks In Bloom! In 2018 we embarked on the journey of owner-building our dream home. We learned a ton and we built our home at a fraction of the cost had we used a builder. It inspired me to start this blog where I share budget-friendly home decor and DIY tutorials. 

Design Style

My design style is always evolving, anchored by a few constants: timeless, off the beaten path, and personalized. I pull inspo from Grandmillenial and European styles. But at the end of the day, I say don’t get stuck in design rule books. I say, feel what speaks to you in each space and unleash your inner decorator.
