Laughlin Sideboard

Oh my gosh you guys!! Never in a million years would I have imagined myself posting about my life and work on social media—let alone reaching 10k followers. It’s wild. I know that number might feel small in the grand scheme of things, but to us, it’s a very big deal.

I still remember the awkwardness of showing up here in the beginning… trying to find the balance between personal and professional, wondering if anyone would even care what I had to say or share (can’t say this has changed 🤪). But, I set out anyway to inspire and empower people that anyone can achieve a space that is authentically beautiful and personal. We started sharing tips in our blog, and how we approach design in hopes it helped others, and now launching our digital Design Guides— our way to help “guide” (dad joke) people through the process for defining their home style. And now, to think there are 10,000 of you following along—it kind of blows my mind. 🥹

When we decided to go all in on this biz- we knew it would be a marathon not a sprint. There’s been many late night conversations around who we are and what we wanted to achieve. And at times it has been very vulnerable. Sharing our story of starting our lives over at 50 and turning it into something beautiful. Something bigger.

Whether you have been here from the time the train left the station or you just jumped on- I just want to say thank you. Truly. For being here. For commenting, saving, sharing, sending sweet DMs, and making this space feel like something more than just an app. It’s a place of connection.

So here’s to whatever’s next. To more connection, more inspiration, and more showing up even when it’s a little scary. 💛

I might be a little biased with this one—it hits close to home in more ways than one. This style reflects a way of living that’s grounded and intentional... rooted in nature, but designed for everyday ease. It’s where modern functionality meets the kind of rustic character that only gets better with time.

We created the Clouz Houz Design Guides to help you incorporated this style into your home with confidence! Check it out, link in bio.

STOP re-pinning inspiration photos... until you read this.

If you’ve ever bought furniture you thought you loved—only to realize nothing goes together or the vibe still feels off—this post is for you.

There’s a reason why some spaces just click and others fall flat. It’s not about spending more or copying someone else’s style-it’s about knowing yours.

Want our secret to designing a space that feels effortless, personal, and pulled together?

Comment ‘STYLE’ and we’ll send you the next best step to get clear, confident, and finally sure about what works in your space.

Some days I look around and still can’t believe this is our life. Not because it’s perfect or easy... but because it’s ours.

We started over when we didn’t mean to. Moved to a new place. Took a chance on a completely different rhythm. And slowly, we fell in love with this slower way of living. With the quiet. The space. The chance to build something that actually matters to us.

It’s wild how one unexpected change can unlock a version of your life you never even knew was possible.

Just a little reminder-there’s no “right” timeline. You’re allowed to begin again, to take the long way, to dream up something new.

This is your sign 🤍
