Jackie Smith discovered her passion for design early — a fascination with how spaces make people feel, how light moves through a room, and how the right material in the right place can transform the ordinary into something extraordinary. That curiosity led her to earn a Bachelor of Science in Interior Design, and she has spent the three decades since honing a practice built on creative vision, technical precision, and genuine care for her clients.
Walnut Grove Design Group was founded on a simple belief: that great design should be personal. Jackie works directly with every client from the first conversation to the final reveal — supported by a small, trusted team that shares her commitment to quality, care, and craft. You always know who you're working with, and you always have Jackie's full attention.
Her work spans custom kitchens, spa-inspired bathrooms, and full whole-house renovations throughout the greater southern New Hampshire and northern Massachusetts regions. Whether the style is warm and traditional, clean and contemporary, or something entirely unique to you — Jackie brings the same level of dedication, creativity, and expertise to every project.
