What a week. It’s Thursday evening but feels like it should be Friday! Anyone else with me? No plans, just soaking in the last bit of light with a glass of wine and a slow bath. We are heading to Chicago tomorrow for our Clouz Houz work retreat-excited, a little tired, and trying to savor the quiet before a full weekend ahead. Will be sharing more of the fun with stories while we’re there!
Designing your dream home doesn’t mean you need to live in the same city as your designer.
Our Design Plan Only service has helped clients all over the country bring their vision to life-without a single site visit. If you’re someone who can handle the ordering, legwork, or install side of things, but just need a clear plan from a designer... this service was made for you.
We’ll give you everything: the vision, the layout, the links, the notes for your contractor-and the confidence to finally make your space feel like you.
Comment “PLAN” and we’ll send you the link to fill out our quick client questionnaire and get your discovery call on the books.
Life is short.
Make it beautiful!

if you’ve been dreaming of that Old-World aesthetic but have no idea where to start, comment ‘ELEGANT’ and we’ll send you all the tools you need to get this look with confidence!
We’re so obsessed with this style—timeless, layered, and full of charm-but it can feel overwhelming trying to actually pull it off without a designer by your side. That’s why we put together our Design Guides to help you go from inspiration to execution without the guesswork.
It’s perfect if you’ve got a big occasion coming up and want your home to feel put-together and beautiful, or if you’re just ready to stop pinning and finally start styling. We’re giving you the exact colors, pieces, and pro tips we use to get that romantic, storied look—no endless scrolling required.
Seriously, this is the shortcut we wish everyone had.
Drop “Elegant” below and let’s get you started with curating your home like a designer!
Some days I look around and still can’t believe this is our life. Not because it’s perfect or easy… but because it’s ours.
We started over when we didn’t mean to. Moved to a new place. Took a chance on a completely different rhythm. And slowly, we fell in love with this slower way of living. With the quiet. The space. The chance to build something that actually matters to us.
It’s wild how one unexpected change can unlock a version of your life you never even knew was possible.
Just a little reminder—there’s no “right” timeline. You’re allowed to begin again, to take the long way, to dream up something new.
This is your sign 🤍
Initial materials selections vs. photo-realistic renderings:
We’re back with part 2 of our #BendTailoredTraditional project, and this phase is all about refinement. Seeing the initial material selections come to life in these photo-realistic renderings is a reminder that every decision- from cabinetry finishes to lighting choices—plays a role in the overall feel of a space.
As we finalize the designs for the kitchen, dining room, and wet bar, we’re keeping the balance between timeless elegance and modern warmth at the forefront. And next? The living room reveal is on the horizon, and we haven’t shared a single detail yet...
Thing’s I have been saving for May:
For details on what’s included in the May Edit, comment ‘MAY’ and I’ll send you a DM with this month’s collection that I’ve hand picked for you! FYI you must be following prior to commenting in order to get the link!
