Meet Jennifer

creator of cottage on bunker hill

Welcome! I’m Jennifer Howard, the founder and creative mind behind Cottage on Bunker Hill.

Starting in 2019, I’ve spent the past six years transforming homes and gardens with budget-friendly, charming DIYs.

As a lifelong New Englander, I’m inspired by the coastal allure and traditional farmhouses that paint this region. But beyond the aesthetics, I’m a wife, a mom to 4 boys, and a fervent believer in the power of transforming a house into a haven.

I’m here to help you design a space that’s both beautiful and uniquely yours. Let’s make your home a reflection of your story—one budget-friendly project at a time!

    I believe you don’t need a huge budget to cultivate a home and garden you truly love. Here at Cottage on Bunker Hill, I empower you with:

    01. Creative DIYs & Decorating Hacks

    I feel like I have DIY’d almost all of my decor! My favorite thing to do is find an expensive thing I love on Pottery Barn and then make a dupe of it.

    02.Smart Thrifting, Flea Marketing, & Upcycling Secrets

    I’ll share my best thrifting secrets with you! I think 80% of my home is secondhand.
