HOLIDAY GIVEAWAY 🎄
In the spirit of the season, I’m gifting one of you a Designer for a Day virtual experience (broken into two highly-focused sessions) designed to give you the clarity, confidence, and direction your project has been missing. Let’s make your home feel like the haven you dream and deserve. ❤️
During our time together, we’ll dive into whatever you need most. Whether that’s refining room layouts, dialing in materials, choosing paint + finishes, planning lighting, building your palette… whatever will move your project forward. These sessions are always so fun to do and shockingly productive.
HOW TO ENTER:
- Like this post
- Make sure you’re following @clouz_houz
- Tag 3 friends in the comments
- Bonus entry: Comment your city!
I truly can’t thank you enough for your support this year. Whether you comment, save designs, ask questions, or simply enjoy following along. This community means the world to me. ❤️
(Winner announced December 17th. Session can be booked after the New Year - must be scheduled one month in advance so we can prep! Available nationwide).
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.
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.
