Nicole Jackson-Bertrand, NJB Interiors

I decided to do an interview this Nicole Jackson-Bertrand, she is a DIY guru and whenever I look at the jaw dropping beautiful photos of her home, and her backyard oasis I like to virtually transplant myself there, so I thought you might want to do the same (but for real, check out her IG design_it_vintage_living).

For many of us this summer we’re having a staycation, and for you lucky souls that were able to take a real vacation this year, I’m sure it was quite different from past years when it was mask free, and a lot less worrying about washing your hands every time you went to a new place. So I decided to do an interview this Nicole Jackson-Bertrand, she is a DIY guru and whenever I look at the jaw dropping beautiful photos of her home, and her backyard oasis I like to virtually transplant myself there, so I thought you might want to do the same (but for real, check out her IG account). I decided instead of hearting her photos everyday, I wanted to learn more about her interior design business NJB Interiors. Plus, I wanted to pick Nicole’s brain about when should you DIY vs. Hire A Pro in this week’s interior design game.

Nicole Jackson-Bertrand is an Interior Designer, Builder/DIYer with a passion for interiors. Wood is her go-to material for tying spaces together to create a warm and sophisticated home, while keeping it on a "thrift store" budget. Her home is her canvas, a place to create a loving and livable home for her family. Nicole was featured in Parade Magazine, Curated Quarters Magazine, The Olive Guide, mentioned in Domino, and more

I was so inspired by Nicole’s backyard, that I decided to design a mood board based on her outdoor aesthetic. Check out the shoppable mood board I designed with the Morpholio board app, and pick up these items quick before you miss summer.
