We’re moving to Tennessee🤍
Eight years ago, we packed up our life in Portland and moved to Bend. We didn’t know many people here, but something about the mountains, the slower pace, and the space to dream felt right. We took a leap, and Bend became home... it’s where we grew our business, raised our family, renovated Tumalo Ranch, and built so many memories we’ll hold onto forever.
And now... we’re taking another leap. If you’d asked me a year ago where we’d land next, I never would’ve guessed Tennessee.
But somehow, all signs kept pointing us there. After months of dreaming, talking, and honestly, a little overthinking, it feels right.
But Oregon will always have our hearts- this is where our roots are and honestly, we love this community! So think of this as an expansion not an ending. We will continue to run our design studio here all the while maintaining and growing our clients in Bend and the Portland metro area. Our local clients and projects aren’t going anywhere, and neither are we entirely.
See, this move is both business and personal. For Clouz Houz, Tennessee opens doors Bend just can’t right now. The real estate market here has gotten tricky for investing and flipping, and we have always felt the pull to see a new part of the country (We are Oregonians through and through- neither of us have ever lived outside the state) However, this expansion allows us to grow in ways we’ve been craving because renovating homes for resale is a real passion of ours that we can’t deny.
I’m so excited (and a little relieved!) to finally share this. We move in a month (!!), and I can’t wait to take you along for the ride-from the emotional goodbyes to the new adventures ahead. Be prepared for a whole new fun lineup of renovations, design inspiration and how we navigate this next chapter.
If you’re from Tennessee or know it well, l’d love your recs-favorite spots, hidden gems, all of it.
Here’s to trusting the unknown and making space for change. Life is short. Make it beautiful 🥂✨
Here’s the thing, most people aren’t just one style. You’re probably drawn to certain textures, tones, and details across multiple aesthetics without realizing there’s actually a pattern to it. The challenge is figuring out what ties it all together so your home feels intentional rather than chaotic.
Can you relate? That’s exactly why we created our free Signature Style Quiz. Comment ‘QUIZ’ below and we’ll send you the link so you can:
• Learn which of the 5 core styles you lean toward most
• Understand the specific colors, textures, and design elements you’re naturally drawn to
• See how to mix different looks in a cohesive, elevated way without losing your personality
And if you want to the designer shortcut right to the fun part, our Design Guides (linked in bio or on our website) take it even further with complete room boards, curated sources, and shoppable pieces that make it easy to bring your style to life, season after season.
Wishing everyone a relaxing Labor Day Weekend with family and friends! Which entertainment zone is your favorite? Let us know below!

This one has been ringing in my ears lately. We’ve been doing a lot of reflecting and a lot of dreaming. I’m realizing that at any point in life, you can choose to shift, realign, or completely change directions. And sometimes, the biggest changes start with the quietest nudges.✨
Without saying too much just yet... we’ve been leaning into a slower rhythm, choosing what feels right for us, and finally making a move that’s been on our hearts for a while. Can’t wait to share more next week.
But for now, just a little reminder: your life is yours to build.
Life is Short. Make it beautiful... so make it full, and make it yours.
Comment “STYLE” if you’ve made one of these mistakes before I see them all the time, and trust me, l’ve made a few myself.
1. You’re pinning minimalism and cottagecore in the same breath
2. Every room is beige on beige because it feels the “safest”
3. You bought the cute chair... but never sit in it
4. You forgot the last 10% that actually makes the space you
If any of this feels familiar, you’re not alone. I put together a free guide to help you design with confidence—no more guesswork or decision fatigue. It’s the exact framework I use in our full-service projects to create homes that feel layered, thoughtful, and personal.
Life is short. Make it beautiful!

It’s time! We’re officially hosting our Tumalo Ranch Moving Sale - happening Saturday and Sunday, September 6-7 right here at the house.
We’ll be parting with some of our most-loved pieces: antiques, decor, furniture, and more.
If you’ve had your eye on anything in our home, we are selling a lot!! Here’s a sneak peek of everything we are going to be saying goodbye to (and know there’s more - we will be sharing more bts as we get closer).
DM us for address + time details
Tag 3 friends who need to come (and the first 15 comments will get early access to shop one hour before the sale opens to the public if you so desire!)
We can’t wait to see what new homes these pieces find (it’s first come first serve, so make sure to bring your tape measures!)
