Are you looking around your house now that the holiday decor has been put away and thinking everything feels just a little blah?!You are not alone. 
Follow these easy steps for a quick spring refresh. 
1) Remove as much as you can from the space so you can give everything a good dusting.
2) Start with pretty books (every designer’s secret weapon) I like to stack 3-4 together. I have my favorites to display on our coffee table. 
3) On the top of each stack add an object-  I used some pretty coasters, candles and an antique bowl full of collected matchbooks.
4) A pretty vase full of fresh flowers (these roses from TJs are gorgeous) is always good!
5) I like to add a little color. I used these faux stems— they are insanely good! It’s very hard to tell they are fake! 
Comment “REFRESH” and I will send you links for all these things.
Happy refreshing! 💕
Have you ever walked into a space and thought, “How did they pull this all together?” The truth is, behind every perfectly styled room is a mountain of decisions
-ones you don’t even realize need to be made until you’re in the thick of it. That’s the magic of working with a designer.
When we created this bar, it wasn’t just about picking pretty finishes. It was about thinking through every detail: the spacing between the shelves to fit the barware and bottles just right, the deep brown paint that makes the fluted cabinets stand out, the hammered brass sink that feels both functional and luxe, even the placement of drawers inside the cabinets for easy access to all the things you don’t want on display.
It’s about making it work for your life. But I get it: knowing where to start can feel overwhelming. That’s where we come in. We are here to guide you through the process, to help you take those ideas floating around in your head and turn them into something tangible, something beautiful.
If you’ve been dreaming of creating a space like this—whether it’s a bar, a kitchen, or a cozy nook—there’s no better time than now. Let’s get started. The dream space you’ve been imagining? It’s closer than you think. 💫
Hi, I’m Allison, the principal designer and owner of Clouz Houz—a family-run design studio based in Bend, Oregon. 
Our story is one of reinvention. My husband, Derrick, and I started over mid-life, pursuing a life full of what makes us happy and purpose. We believe Life is Short. Make It Beautiful. That belief inspires everything we do, from transforming homes to sharing designer tips, offering virtual services, and helping our clients create spaces that feel personal, intentional, and uniquely theirs.
Our mission is simple: to show that good design is for everyone—regardless of budget. Whether we’re working on full-scale renovations, styling spaces, or empowering clients with our virtual Design Plan Only or Designer-for-a-Day services, our goal is always the same: to create spaces that tell YOUR story.
As we reflect on 2024, we see both growth and lessons learned. We’re stepping into 2025 with a renewed sense of creativity, innovation, and intention. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that meaningful change requires stepping outside your comfort zone. ✨ And oh boy, this is a hard one for me!!
So, whoever needs to hear this: If you want something new, the time to change is now. Can we make a pact?! I’m doing this to hold myself accountable with you!! Let’s make 2025 the year we lean into possibility and beauty—in our homes, in our work, and in our lives.
We can’t wait to take you on this journey with us. 🤍
Ok guys, this kitchen may be one of my favorites to date... but then again, I may say that about every kitchen we have designed! LOL. Seriously, kitchens are one of my faves simply because I realize how incredibly important this space is for so many people. Truly the heart of the home. I can imagine meals being enjoyed together, parties gathered around the island, quiet evenings unwinding after a busy day.... So many memories are made in our kitchens! They need to be incredibly functional and beautiful, which makes them one of the more detailed spaces for designers. We ask a lot of questions of our clients, such as: do they prepare meals together or solo, do they want to eat at an island, how many mouths are they feeding on a daily basis... you get the idea.
This kitchen was no different, our clients love to cook and gather as a family. We created a cozy ambience yet highly functional with a large island that houses a prep sink, yet can seat a crew. And we can’t not mention the star of the show, the beautiful Lacanche range that we customized in Farrow & Ball’s “Studio Green” to match the perimeter cabinet where the homeowners heirloom china is stored.
We are here for more beautiful kitchens in 2025! Are you dreaming up your fantasy kitchen? Let’s turn it into reality.
Life is Short. Make it Beautiful.
