CLOUZ HOUZ DESIGN GUIDES - What’s your style?

A Gift Guide for your Valentine ♥️

February 7, 2023

Derrick and I keep things pretty simple for Valentine’s Day. We love to make a yummy dinner and just enjoy the evening together. Now that two of our three kids are out of the house, we mail them each a little gift. Typically, it’s something I know they could use for school, but it’s also fun to give presents that show our love for them but that aren’t necessarily “useful.” If you’re looking for a gift for a loved one, check out the ideas below!

By the way, did you know you can follow us on Like To Know It?? You can find ALL the items featured in this post there on our Like To Know It page. We have an account on LTK where we share all the links of things we’re loving. We hope you’ll check it out and let us know if there’s something you would like to see more of. You can find us here!

Boy Smells Candle

I'll admit, I'm obsessed with Kacey Musgraves ... and this candle collaboration with Boy Smells has me very curious. I'll definitely be repurposing the glass container; it's a beautiful shade of red. I have one in my cart as a little gift for myself!

Pink Carry-On Luggage

I'm already a fan of bold colors, and this BEIS suitcase will make finding your luggage in baggage claim so much easier! Isn't it cute? I've heard this brand is really really good -- in fact, it's all the rage right now. Our design assistant, Kaylei, took the carry-on version on our trip to Las Vegas Market and loved it!

Le Labo Santal 33

I'm not exaggerating when I say WHENEVER I wear this perfume, someone asks me what it is. And, the coolest thing is that it's unisex! This would make a great gift for your spouse or lover. It smells absolutely heavenly.

Le Creuset Heart Cocotte

I've wanted a Le Creuset baking dish for sooo long! Although this may not seem super romantic, for the cooks out there -- well, if you know, you know. And this heart shape makes it even sweeter as a loving gesture to the chef in your life.

"Loved" Socks

Our daughter is the queen of comfy clothing ... and these socks will go perfectly with her favorite sweats! She's always telling me that she needs cuter socks. Ha! But seriously, these socks make any outfit that much cozier.

It’s cabin season!

Comment ‘CABIN’ for the full Vermont River Cabin design.

If you are at all like me you start pinning all the cozy cabin interiors every winter! Seriously, each year, I dream of a log cabin full of character and coziness.

There’s a reason Ralph Lauren’s rustic style is so sought after. It’s not just about the items. It is the stories layered together. Worn wood next to clean linen, a quiet lamp beside a stack of books, a piece that looks like it belonged to someone before you. That feeling of home is what we were chasing here.

Today on the blog, we will be diving into the details of how to bring this to life.❤️❤️

Here’s a little reintroduction and a few of my favorite things!

Hard to believe we drove to Tennessee just about a month ago. Then slipped back to Oregon for installs while Derrick stayed and wrestled with dust and demo. It feels strange to sort of be in two places at once. Suitcase half-unpacked and notes on grout colors scribbled on receipts, trying to share our home journey from across the country...

People keep saying we’re living the dream and I hear that. It’s the dream we talked about for years. I don’t know if it’s “working” yet, but it feels like forward motion and I’m proud of us for jumping.

We’ve been out exploring whenever we can. New coffee shops, vintage stores, back roads, meeting people (The invisible string is real here. We keep meeting people with Oregon stories, and it’s giving me peace of mind) trying to find our spots. It’s messy and busy and there’s so much housework that “slowing down” isn’t really on the menu, but starting to see light at the end of the tunnel.
All this to say, starting over is scary. Putting yourself out there in a new place and building a business within a new market comes with a lot of unknowns. But I wanted a life that felt more authentic to us and I can feel us inching toward it, one project at a time. It’s not perfect yet. But I’ll take it!

We’ve been deep in the demo phase at the Sixth Street Bungalow, and it’s been both messy and motivating. This upstairs bathroom has kept us on our toes. We’ve re-routed plumbing, reworked the layout, and looked for every possible way to make the most of this space.

Design-wise, it’s a balance of old and new. Classic materials, warm finishes, and soft neutrals that bring a sense of history back into a house that’s been through so many hands. It’s the part of the process that doesn’t always look pretty, but it’s where the good stuff starts to take shape.

This first part of the renovation is coming together, slowly but surely. I can already picture the light hitting that tile in the morning.

Too many tabs open, seasons changing, guests coming, and the room still feels... unfinished? Here’s the fix I use with clients (and at home)!
