We wanted to share a bit about the journey that brought us to this adventuresome, little town of Bend, Oregon!

When we moved here five years ago we were looking for a fresh perspective on life. It took us half our lives to realize that the world wasn’t slowing down for us to catch up… it was now or never to live each day to its fullest and in order to do so we needed to hit the reset button.

I recently listened to a conversation between @boxwoodavenue and @alexisnegranti, both entrepreneurs that I admire. Alexis said something that really resonated with me- “you can create anything if you are willing to be uncomfortable.” That couldn’t be more true. The idea of leaving our life as we knew it and starting a business together was out of our comfort zone to say the least. But sometimes taking a risk is necessary. We are living out our dream and I have to say- it feels just… So. Damn. Good. Ha! I can’t say there weren’t bumps in the road, but we rolled through them. We are here now.

Our mantra: “Life is Short. Make it Beautiful” was derived shortly after our move. It sums up life priorities for us as a family, but also as a business. Live with intention. Live with passion. Live with nature. Live with authenticity. Live with appreciation for the simple things. We moved our family to Bend- where the mountains, rivers and lakes collide. A place we had always considered a “vacation spot” over the years became home. We launched Clouz Houz almost 1.5 years ago and we haven’t looked back.

We are forever grateful for the amazing opportunities our business has gifted us, all while watching this town grow and evolve right alongside it. We miss our Portland pals and dear family but embracing the experience! Thank you for being here and supporting us. ❤️

Life is Short. Make it Beautiful. ✨✨✨

Here’s how I achieved this neutral table setting. My goal at this time of year is to create something that can transition from Thanksgiving feast to a Christmas dinner. I love keeping it simple, but still infusing a rustic edge that is perfect for a cabin holiday.

- Setting the mood with a candlelit dinner is essential
- Rustic plates from @potterybarn for timeless elegance are the focal point for this tablescape vibe
- Delicate water glasses are the epitome of understated elegance
- Create an organic centerpiece with moss and pine cones for a natural allure
- It’s time for some vintage charm - these beautiful collected flatware sets from @borgorosati are perfect!
- Linen napkins, paired with rings, and accented by fresh sprigs of seeded eucalyptus for a personalized touch.

Controversial or not, this neutral, rustic table setting stands the test of time, embracing the essence of the holiday season with timeless charm that transitions effortlessly between celebrations.

Life is Short. Make it Beautiful.
