The February Edit: A Delightful Roundup

Welcome to The February Edit! We’re diving into our current sources of inspiration and everything that’s caught our fancy this month. In this roundup, we’re sharing wardrobe staples and some home furniture and décor pieces that embody our February vibes.

Here in Oregon, February isn’t quite ready to let go of winter’s grasp. We’ve been bundled up, experiencing a serious cold snap. It seems like we always get that one snowstorm each month! But, as much as I love spring, I also love cozy weekends by the fire. Have you read “Wintering” by Katherine May? It’s on my nightstand … I tend to read like three books at a time, and it’s one of my faves this month. It’s all about the winter months and how they’re meant for hibernating and resting. Such a good read — highly recommend. 

Amidst this chilly weather, we’ve been keeping ourselves busy with our first pop-up event at Hot Box Betty and a ton of client work. And not to mention, getting down to business up at Tumalo to get us all moved in! Our days have been a whirlwind of productivity, and in the middle of this hustle, we thought, why not give you a glimpse into our month?

So, whether you’re outside enjoying the brisk winter chill or soaking in the cozy warmth indoors, this February edit has a little something for everyone. Let’s explore what’s making our February extra special this year!

Wallpaper of the Month

We’re shaking things up a bit. Instead of our usual color of the month, we’re diving headfirst into the world of wallpapers that have been capturing our hearts. After coming across numerous stunning options, the itch to wallpaper something … anything … has become irresistible! 

Our current wallpaper crush is “Voyage” by Arte, and let me tell you, it’s a showstopper. The magenta variant, in particular, has us swooning. Named aptly, each detail in this wallpaper takes you on a visual journey, and with Persian influence, every nuance demands attention. I would use this in a dressing room, powder bathroom or even in a cozy den.

February Fabric of the Month

In our latest obsession, we stumbled upon a textile brand that’s been occupying our thoughts day in and day out. The fabric in question, “Pichu” in Charcoal 09, is nothing short of breathtaking. We initially ordered custom pillows featuring other prints from this line at our recent pop-up event, and they’ve become the talk of the town. 

This fabric draws inspiration from traditional designs of the Kuki tribe in Northeast India, presenting a beautiful large-scale pattern that exudes boldness. It’s a one-of-a-kind textile that adds a unique flair to any space.

Here’s a little secret we can’t keep to ourselves: I might just be incorporating this fabric into the Tumalo house, and trust me, the result is going to be amazing! Stay tuned for more sneak peeks of the transformation as we get further along.

Ok here’s the truth- I have a lot of favorite whites- but this may be my new fave for cabinetry! 
Here’s the part no one tells you:
Most “bad” white cabinets aren’t bad colors… they’re bad context. White fails when it’s chosen in isolation. Paint chips are judged under fluorescent store lighting, held next to nothing, and decided before cabinets, counters, floors, or hardware are even finalized. Then that same white gets wrapped around an entire kitchen and suddenly feels gray at noon, yellow at night, or weirdly dull no matter how much light you have.
That’s why we chose Shoji White by Sherwin-Williams for our kitchen cabinets this time around.
Not because it’s trendy.
Not because it photographs well.
But because it behaves.
Shoji White has a soft warmth that doesn’t show up on a chip, but does show up when it’s next to real materials. It stays steady throughout the day, doesn’t compete with natural wood or stone, and doesn’t turn chalky once it’s covering full-height cabinetry. That consistency is what actually makes a white “safe” — not how popular it is.
Designer truth:
If a white only looks good at one time of day, it’s not a good cabinet white.
If it needs perfect lighting to work, it’s not a good cabinet white.
If paint decisions make you spiral, it’s not because you’re bad at this (it’s because white is reactive, and no one teaches you how to test it properly).
Our blog goes live today at 3:00pm PST, where I break down how to evaluate whites in your actual space and share a few other cabinet whites we consider truly “safe” — the ones we use repeatedly for clients because they hold up in real life, not just in photos.
Save this if you’re choosing cabinets soon.
When I turned 50, I thought my story was already written.
Turns out, I was just getting to the good part.
I’ve rebuilt homes—and rebuilt a life.
Left what was familiar. Started over more than once.
Turned a lifelong love for design into a business alongside my husband, creating intentional homes for people all over the country.
I believe spaces should hold real life… the messy, meaningful, beautiful moments.
And I’ve always looked at older homes and thought, look at the potential.  Maybe that’s why starting over has never scared me, because I see life the same way. Not as finished, but as full of possibility.
How about you? Are you in the middle part of life and just getting going??? I want to hear! And, please don’t hesitate to reach out if you want some advice on how to get started- I’m realizing we are all in this together. 🤍
Life is short. Make it beautiful.
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).
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. 🤍
