What started as a simple flip turned into something deeply personal—a home for us. Every detail reflects why we do what we do: to create homes that feel as beautiful as they look.
Our journey has taught us that a home isn’t just for living—it’s for making memories. It’s about creating sanctuaries full of intention and spaces that evoke emotion.
If you’re new here, welcome. Join us as we transform spaces—and lives—one home at a time. 🤍
Before and afters always hit differently, don’t they? This cozy family room transformation was part of our Design Plan Only service, where we worked with our clients to create a detailed plan they could execute at their own pace. They wanted a space where they could actually relax and hang out with family and friends—a functional, welcoming room that still felt fresh and updated.
The clients invested in all-new furniture and lighting, complete with a custom sofa made to fit this quite large room; which, really brought the space to life. These thoughtful, elevated choices make the room feel polished and personal-an inviting retreat for everyday life and special gatherings.
Our Design Plan Only service is such a great option for those who want the expertise and vision without the pressure of doing your entire home all in one go. Thinking about refreshing one of your own spaces? Let’s create a plan to bring your dream room to life—head over to our services (website link in bio) and fill out our questionnaire to get started!
Okay, so this month’s daydream? Tulum. I mean, who wouldn’t want to escape to warm sunshine and beach vibes right now? Not me sitting here freezing in the mountains and wishing I could sip a margarita under some palm trees. Let me just manifest it through design instead.
If I had a casa there, it would be all about those effortless, lived-in vibes. A travertine tub for those long, lazy soaks. Hand-painted tiles that feel like they’ve been there forever. Layers of texture, weathered wood, and bold pops of color that make everything feel alive. Basically, I’d want every corner to scream “you’re on vacation!” while still feeling totally grounded.
Honestly, designing vacation homes is the dream. There’s just something about creating spaces that feel like the ultimate escape while still being totally you. Do you have a vacation spot that needs some love? Let’s make it magic. We’ve got services just for that!
P.S. We’ve tagged a few of our fave vendors, but not all-head to our LTK for the full look and shop all the pieces you love (even if it’s just one or two!).
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. 🤍
