A little life + work lately, in no particular orderđď¸
1. A lot of coffee as of late! This is my new version of going to HH.
2. Sun Valley Saddle House movie + game room update: that green painted trim is doing so much for this space. The pool table is going here and itâs about to be such a cozy, rustic cabin moment.
3. The floral sofa is honestly everything in this den in our virtual project in Pennsylvania. Itâs giving old-world, collected, and perfectly not-too-serious
4. Taken at the Leiperâs Fork Distillery! When you live in Tennessee you kind of just become a whiskey person... itâs a rule apparently.
5. Same weekend, same distillery but make it family time. One of those slow, happy in-between moments I love.
6. The Westman Hotel just opened in downtown Bend! Obsessed with how this new hotel honors the old post office building. So thoughtful and so cool. Have you been?
7. Work OOTD: casual and layered
8. Site visit lunches arenât glamorous. Just me + design plans + whatever | can eat between meetings and emails.
9. Still not over this @bedrosianstile install in the guest bath at our home. The marble curb in the shower makes it feel so elevated and fresh.
10. @hankscoffeestation is my current morning saving grace. Truly keeping me functioning
A little bit of design, a little bit of real life, and a lot of things Iâm grateful to be working on right now.đ¤
Designing your own home while running a business is a very specific kind of chaos. Timelines stretch, things get put on the back burner, and progress happens in tiny waves. Thereâs no rule book for this (as a personal project) and Iâm constantly reminding myself that nothing is wrong just because itâs slow.
These videos are my way of zooming out. Because the truth is... weâve come so far. Even when it doesnât feel finished yet, even when rooms are still a few months away from being fully usable, thereâs so much happening under the surface. This is creativity doing its work. And Iâm trying to leave stress behind and actually enjoy watching it unfold.
Designing for our homes is one of my favorite things to do, but also the hardest. When itâs your space, you have a million ideas, a million things you want to try, and no one else to blame if you change your mind. But that freedom is the magic. I love client work, truly, but thereâs something so special about not having to defend every decision or worry about someone second-guessing the vision.
This is how design is supposed to feel: trusting a direction, letting it evolve, not taking it so seriously that you squeeze the life out of it. When you collaborate instead of control, when you give the process room to breathe, thatâs when the real Clouz Houz look shows up.
Comment âPARISâ to get the linksđ¤
This monthâs Location Design is built around that Parisian apartment mood. Itâs that quiet mix of elegance and ease that makes a space feel romantic but still livable.
Every item in this board was picked because it carries that energy: the kind of lighting that softens a room, furniture that invites you to linger, and details that make even a simple moment feel special.
We say it often (and weâll keep saying it!) because itâs the most essential piece of creating a home you truly love: it should be a reflection of you. The most timeless spaces arenât just beautiful, theyâre personal. They carry your story, your rhythm, your values. Thatâs what makes a house feel like home.
Ready to love where you live? Weâre now accepting new clients for Q1 of 2026.

Great design isnât rushed â and weâre okay being booked out because of it. Thereâs a reason we only take on a few new construction or full home renovations each year!
Our complete home design plans help you avoid costly mistakes, impulse buys, and âwhy doesnât this feel right?â moments... with both budget-friendly and elevated options built in.
Weâre currently booking into Q1 and would love to see if your home is a fit.

If your house feels a little off right now, itâs usually not because you need more stuff... itâs because what you have isnât working.
Comment âRESETâ and Iâll send you the home reset list we always start with.
Think: containers that make your pantry make sense, closet tools that stop the chaos, bathroom pieces that keep things out but still pretty, and outdoor pieces that help you get ahead of spring instead of scrambling for it. Sometimes itâs the simplest fixes that make your home feel more like a representation of you!
