Design in progress✨

We’re currently in the concept phase for a full furnishings and light refresh project at our ‘Tetherow Timber House’ project. A home with mountain modern roots, lots of reclaimed wood, and a natural warmth we want to preserve. This one doesn’t need a full remodel; it just needs the right updates in the right places.

In the kitchen, we’re keeping the existing cabinetry but introducing new counters, new paint for cabinetry, updated lighting, and refined hardware to give it a fresh, elevated feel without losing its character. Just off the kitchen, we’re designing a new bar area — a small but impactful space we’re making “its own moment” with moodier materials, rich finishes, and layered textures to make it feel collected and intentional.

Sometimes it’s not about reinventing the space, it’s about revealing what’s already there and bringing it to life in a new way.

Christmas recipes... Just good food, cozy pajamas, and something warm in a mug.

This is Part 5 and the final chapter of our ‘A Martha Season’ holiday series, and we’re closing it out with the things that feel quintessential to us: the recipes our kids always ask for, the pajamas we live in all December, and the little touches that make the whole house feel warmer.

And if you have been following along, you know I’m a self-proclaimed horrible cook-so these are the recipes ANYONE can make. 🙂

P.S. The pink dip is honestly something our family and friends call “crack dip” it’s a recipe passed down from my grandma and everybody loves it.

Save this post and share it with whoever you’re cooking with — your holiday made simple with these recipes!

If you want links to everything we picked to recreate the feeling (from the food to the fashion to the cozy accents) comment ‘SHOP’ and I’ll send them your way.

A little greenery goes a long way and the right garland goes even farther... I’m not decorating this year, but putting this together reminded me how much joy the little things bring.

If Christmas snuck up on you (same), this is your sign: you don’t need a full makeover to make your home feel festive. A strand of good garland, a ribbon moment, and a few twinkly lights.

Comment ‘HOLIDAY’ and I’ll send over our favorite garlands, plus the prettiest bows + ribbons to finish the look!

In my 40s, I was a stay-at-home mom, my husband had lost his job, and we were having to sell the home we’d poured our hearts into.

Over the years, I’d designed and renovated our own spaces, even worked with an architect on our most ambitious project yet, and helped friends here and there. But never thought it could be my career.

Then our realtor asked, “Who designed this?” When I said it was me, she said: “Allison… why aren’t you doing this for a living?”

I didn’t have a degree or a portfolio… just grit, a dream I didn’t know I was holding, and three kids watching me start over. So I took the leap and launched Allison Clouser Interiors.

That leap became Clouz Houz—projects across the country, virtual clients, offering full-service work in Oregon and (now!) middle Tennessee.

Somehow, along the way, our work started getting noticed. A gift I still don’t take for granted.

If you’re at the edge of something scary, know this: you’re never too old, too late, or too far behind.

You can start fresh.
You can build the life you’ve dreamed of.
You can surprise yourself.
