A Little About
Our Retail Shop
It’s Now Open!!
When I decided to live and move my business to Midway, I decided to purchase a dilapidated historic home on 206 W. Main Street. An original Midway home, constructed in 1872, I had a vision for this quaint home that holds years of stories behind its many walls. I wanted to renew this historic home as a center stone gem of the community.
I peeled through layers of wallpaper, dating back to the 1940s. You could see the decorating trends going farther back into history as we took the old wallpaper off the walls. Intending to preserve as much of the historical significance and charm of our “new” home, we performed renovations, uncovering some of the original shiplap, and protected these elements into the final design. The construction team and I found historical artifacts and placed them in a display case in my studio. It’s like having a history museum of the house!
When you walk into Spruce Personalized Decor, I want you to feel the beauty and inspiration for my “new home” when you work with us.
Now painted a beautiful, brilliant yellow, people from the town admire the home and its inviting charm. It’s become a real social gathering space, with customers and their friends stopping by for a chat and browsing Jenn’s latest eclectic home decor selection.

Inspired Interior and Custom Design to Fit Your Lifestyle
What inspires you to get up, walk downstairs, and brew your cup of coffee? Why are you inspired by the world we live in? What makes you feel most comfortable in your home environment?
Each individual client is unique and is driven by their own “why.” My goal is for your home to reflect who you are, your purpose, and your style.
Frequently people tell me,
“I don’t know what my style is.”
My experience working with hundreds of unique individuals has developed my signature process that allows us to work together as a design team to identify the style, look, and colors that express your lifestyle.
Do you have a particular design in mind? Let me and my design team run with your idea and transfer your concept into your living space reality. Our time designing together is a valuable time used to create an authentic design that truly reflects the “real you.” Let’s talk about your design objectives and turn them into a beautiful and satisfying living space that reflects your taste and way of life to make your vision a reality!
