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.
If there’s one thing we’ve learned after years of remodels... most people don’t need more Pinterest boards. They need direction. Clarity. Someone to say, “Here’s the best path, go this way.”
That’s exactly why we created Designer for a Day, and now it’s officially offered in two 3-hour sessions. Same high-level strategy, just easier to fit into real life.
With the new year around the corner, it’s wild how fast your home projects sneak up Maybe 2026 is finally the year you tackle that one room you keep avoiding... or get your home summer-ready (trust us, spring comes fast).
We currently have 4 spots open, and they tend to go quickly once the new-year energy kicks in.
Also... a little teaser... we have something special tied to this service launching in a couple of days. If this has your wheels turning, stay tuned!!

Life is short. Make it beautiful!
All the tips and deets I shared on the blog yesterday… comment ‘BLOG’ and I’ll send you there.
I grew up with a mom that was Martha 2.0 and I inherited that same love for effortless, elevated hosting.
The truth? You don’t need to be perfect. A few simple ingredients, a little intention, and the people you love is all it takes to make memories that last a lifetime.
The Clouz Houz philosophy has always been simple: soul over perfection. We design homes that look lived-in, loved, and layered. Never sterile, never one-note.
Our process is rooted in mixing: mixing texture, mixing eras, mixing personal history with sculptural, collected pieces that bring depth and personality to a room.
When you work with us, you’re not getting a look….. you’re getting a story - one that grows with you.
If your home feels a little too “flat” we can help you create a space that feels uniquely yours!
