Em & I started dreaming about sunshine and somehow ended up making our hypothetical vacation packing list.

No trip booked (yet) since we are still knee deep in work and house renovation… but we’re manifesting one and planning accordingly. Because sometimes you just need a reason to online shop and dream!

Now that we are in Tennessee I’ve been hearing alllll about 30A in Florida. It seems to be the destination of choice around here for a easy getaway (only 8 hours from here!) It sounds so dreamy (those white sand beaches and the bluest of blue water! 😍) and I’m determined to plan a getaway there soon. Pulling the moodboard together as we speak!

Tell me in the comments if you have been- and if so, where I need to go/stay/eat! All the stuff. ❤️

Lastly, if you are planning your own vacay, we’re sharing our obsessions on the blog. Happy Friday- and if you are anything like me, happy shopping. 😉 (link in bio) ✨

Share with someone who needs to hear this!!

I didn’t fully understand this early in my career. I thought good design was 90% about pulling together beautiful finishes and getting the palette right.

But over time (and after walking through many homes), here’s what I noticed:
The homes that felt the best weren’t always the most expensive. Or the most styled. They were the ones where everything worked together in a way that supported the people living there. And the homeowners? They weren’t constantly tweaking or second-guessing. They were living.

That’s when I realized design is about creating a space that quietly holds you.

When a home feels right, you can’t always explain why. But you feel it immediately. And once you feel it, you can’t un-feel it.

Spring is officially here!

We’re kicking off the season with The March Edit - now live.

Think of it as a little peek into what we’re loving right now... what we’re noticing, bookmarking, wearing, cooking, reading, and saving for projects. This month feels fresh and full of ideas, and I’m leaning all the way in.

I’m also introducing more of the team and sharing a few of the things we’re personally obsessing over lately — from design to everyday life. It’s a little more journal-style this time, and I kind of love it.

If you want to see what we’re manifesting for spring (and maybe find a few new favorites of your own), head to the blog and read the full March Edit. (link in bio)

People always think design starts with picking the sofa or paint color... but honestly, so much of our process lives in the tiny details.

A room doesn’t become you until it’s styled with intention. That’s why we spend time learning how you move through your day, what objects matter, where your eye naturally lands.

When we work with clients, we don’t just drop furniture into a floor plan. We design the feeling - the quiet corner, the morning moment, the lived-in beauty.

Styling a coffee table is just a peek at how much thought goes into every inch.

If you’ve ever renovated, you know...

Renovations aren’t for the faint of heart. But bringing an old home back to life? Always worth it.

More soon as there is going to be a bunch of progress over the next couple of months! Hallelujah!

9 years ago, I was a stay-at-home mom, and suddenly the future felt wide open after this life-changing event.

If you’re new here, you might not know much about the other half of Clouz Houz...

Derrick (my husband). He used to show up on here more, but these days he prefers being behind the scenes. He’s the hands-on one, deep in renovations, and every once in a while he’ll pop in to teach a lesson or share a bit of the work.

Long before Clouz Houz existed, Derrick and I were always renovating our own homes because making something old feel fresh again was what we loved most. I started helping friends with their homes as a hobby, and after we moved, that uncertainty slowly turned into clarity.

Fast forward to today: Derrick and I built Clouz Houz together, getting back to our roots-flipping homes, investing in properties, restoring character, and creating spaces meant to be lived in. This little peek at our Sixth Street Bungalow feels like a full-circle moment... proof that sometimes not knowing what you’re going to do next is exactly how something meaningful begins.❤️
