About Rachel & Nurtured Nook

Hi, I’m Rachel — a sister, friend, wife, working mom, and the creator behind Nurtured Nook.

My journey with home projects didn’t start with blueprints or design school. It started at my kitchen table — surrounded by coffee and sippy cups, busy schedules, and the everyday mess that comes with real life. Like so many others, I loved scrolling through beautiful homes online… and felt completely overwhelmed by how unattainable they seemed.

I kept thinking, “My life doesn’t look like that — and my home doesn’t need to either.”

That realization changed everything.

Why I Created Nurtured Nook

I wanted a space that spoke to people like me — people who care about their homes, but also have full lives, limited time, and real responsibilities. A place where creativity felt encouraging instead of intimidating.

Nurtured Nook is about:

• Progress over perfection
• Confidence over comparison
• Creating homes that support your life, not compete with it

If you’ve ever felt discouraged by Pinterest-perfect makeovers or unsure where to begin, you’re not behind — you’re exactly who this space is for.

A Final Note

You don’t need to do everything at once. You don’t need to get it perfect. You just need a starting point — and a little encouragement along the way.

I’m so glad you’re here. Let’s create homes that feel warm, lived-in, and uniquely yours.
