Jen Houghton

Owner

Member of National Real Estate Staging Association

Jen has had an eye for design her entire life. At a young age she would constantly rearrange her room and her Barbie house. By the age of eight, she wanted a very simple black and white bedroom without much clutter. Her simple and timeless style has stuck with her ever since.

For years, friends and family had been telling Jen to get into design and decorating after seeing her home. After 15 years in marketing and raising three children, she decided it was time to do something on her own. So, Decorating with Grace began.

Today, Jen has years of experience with home staging, consultations, home renovations, commercial design, and decorating. Whether the client is staging their home to sell or to live–her passion is to make a house feel like a home!

Jen currently resides in Mound, Minnesota with her husband Mike, their children, and fur babies Motley and Bella.

Building strong relationships and offering a warm, approachable experience is at the heart of Andrea’s style. At Decorating with Grace, she brings a fresh perspective and tailored recommendations to help clients showcase their homes at their very best.

Nikki Hill
