January, already?!
This month’s edit ended up being a mix of things I naturally reached for: cozy knits, everyday staples that don’t try too hard, little home upgrades that make winter feel more intentional. A few things for staying in, a few things for stepping out, and a few things that just make the house feel good again after the holiday rush.
It’s that in-between season where comfort wins, neutrals feel right, and anything with warmth or texture just makes sense. Simple, useful, grounding.
Here’s what’s on my radar as we settle into the new year. Comment “edit” for all my monthly picks! (Live on the blog at 3:00pm PST).
Welcome to our newest project: #TheSeattleSnug. A cozy, collected family TV room that’s getting a full Clouz Houz revamp.
We’re transforming this family’s TV/game room into a space that feels inviting, personal, and functional for real life. That means rethinking the furniture layout, adding texture in every direction, introducing multiple layers of lighting, building out a meaningful gallery wall, and mixing materials so the room has depth instead of feeling flat.
As always, we’re designing with their lifestyle at the center — comfy sofa moments, a game table for family nights, kid-friendly fabrics, and details that make the room feel lived-in.
Can’t wait to bring this space to life. More behind-the-scenes coming soon!
Hi 🤍 if you’re new here—my husband and I are the founders of Clouz Houz.
Three months ago, we packed up our life and moved across the country to follow a dream: expanding our design business in new ways and planting roots in a place completely unfamiliar to us.
We bought a house in Middle Tennessee to renovate and call home… in a community where we knew no one.
It’s been scary. And humbling.
But we’re doing it.
While we haven’t gotten as far as we hoped on this first project, we are making progress—little by little. New hardwood floors. New electrical. Kitchen and laundry demo complete. A bathroom fully replumbed and rebuilt.
And still… so much more ahead.
Living in the middle of a renovation while starting over at the same time has been overwhelming in ways we didn’t anticipate. This isn’t our first remodel, but this season feels different. It’s stretching us. Asking for patience. For trust. For presence.
And maybe that’s the point.
Progress doesn’t equal perfection. Sometimes it just looks like staying in it, even when the path feels uncertain. Learning a new place. Meeting new people. Believing that what you’re building—slowly—will be worth it.
This house is testing us, yes.
Follow along as we restore this 1930s bungalow and build a new chapter, one step at a time.
2026, we can’t wait to see all that you have in store for us. 🤍
Trying my best, learning a lot, thriving (occasionally)... the usual.😂 2026, I’m ready for you!
Cheers to another fantastic year in the books and happy 2026 eve, friends! Thanks so much for following along. I’ve always loved the saying “What a difference a year makes!”… and boy did this one show us that. I couldn’t have done it without our amazing clients and my A team... See you all in 2026!
Hey friends! As we close out 2025, we’ve been reflecting on who we are, what we stand for, and what we want to put into the world beyond pretty pictures. We’re simply getting closer to the core of our essence: layered and soulful interiors, warm woods, lived-in neutrals, vintage next to new, and especially spaces built to linger longer.
We’ve loved sharing more of what we’re obsessed with, how we’re thinking about design, and what’s happening behind the scenes—from job-site notes to paint pairings, spend-vs-save calls, sourcing wins, and the small rituals that make a house feel like home. Our hope is that this gives you a deeper sense of who we are and lets us share our hard-won expertise in a more valuable way.
So who are we? We’re a boutique interior design studio specializing in thoughtful construction and remodels along with full home furnishings. Our signature aesthetic is quiet luxury with personality: texture, intention, and rooms that work beautifully for real life.
We’re here for the evolution, and we’re here for you. Tell us what you want more of in 2026. Progress diaries, styling how-tos, sourcing tips, before/afters.
We’re listening!
