Stacey L. Nash, Contributing Writer

About

Stacey L. Nash has written for BobVila.com since 2020 and more widely for the past 6 years about home products, home decor, and general home improvement. Diving into research is one of her favorite parts of writing, but she especially enjoys hands-on testing to get a feel for how products really function in everyday life.  

Experience

Over the 6 years Stacey has worked as a freelance writer, she’s covered everything from paving and bathroom design to plungers and silverware. She’s developed significant practical experience with kitchen and home products through years of hands-on testing. One of her favorite product testing projects included an ice cream maker that required making several batches of ice cream in 1 week. Stacey also wrote for the sleep industry for 18 months, reviewing pillows, sheets, duvets, duvet covers, and mattresses. 

Education

Stacey holds a Bachelor of Arts in communication from the University of Puget Sound. She’s also a certified personal trainer.

Highlights

Stacey has written product reviews and buying guides for Popular Science, Futurism, Greatist, Popular Photography, the Chicago Tribune, and BestReviews, as well as health and fitness content as part of her work as a certified personal trainer. 

Best DIY Advice

My best DIY advice is to measure twice and then measure twice more. Accurate measurements prevent a long list of problems (and picture frames that don’t hang evenly).
