The Tumalo Rumpus Room Reveal

Hey friends — we just shared a reel about how every room should tell a story. Today, I’m thrilled to formally introduce you to our Rumpus Room! This room was one we knew would be special because we spend a lot of time here. It’s our main living area with a TV, perfect for our family who loves a good movie night. From the very beginning, we envisioned a space that catered to how we unwind at the end of day … a cozy nook for evening relaxation and entertaining guests.

Embracing the Moody Vibe of the Rumpus Room

When designing the Rumpus Room, I knew I wanted a moody vibe, as this space would primarily be used in the evenings after dinner and work. This is when we really hunker down for the night. We chose Sherwin Williams ‘Black Fox’ for the walls and trim. This rich, warm-toned brown plays beautifully with the deep-stained ceiling, creating a cocoon-like color-drenching effect.


The Star of the Show: Our Custom Sofa

The sofa was customized to fit perfectly in the room’s unique niche. With its prominent position, the sofa acts as the main character of the space. We collaborated with Moss Home to create it, and chose a mix of Kettlewell fabrics to add a touch of fun. The combination of bouclé and plaid, as well as tribal and floral patterns, gives it a relaxed yet playful vibe.

Supporting Characters

Instead of buying new pieces, we decided to save by recovering our beloved oversized chairs that have been in the family forever. Derrick thought they were extra comfy, so we covered them in a beautiful salmon-colored fabric. Mixing old and new adds depth to a space, making these chairs the perfect supporting characters to our lead.

Telling Our Story: The Gallery Wall

Our gallery wall finally came together last week, and I’m thrilled with the result! We’ve had these pieces in our collection for years, and arranging them in a new way gave them a fresh look. Gallery walls tell such unique stories with personal pictures, framed prints, and decorative objects. Which piece is your favorite? (We’re happy to have Milkshake the cow back … IYKYK).


The Rumpus Room Wet Bar

The wet bar’s arch was part of the plan from the start. Inspired by many Pinterest images, we felt it was a great solution to create a prominent, cohesive bar space in our movie/hangout room. With our vaulted ceilings, the archway fit perfectly. Derrick framed the archway (he’s become a pro!), and we chose a warm burgundy Clé Tile for the backsplash with soapstone for the countertops.

We added a chunky grasscloth wallpaper inside the arch for an extra textural layer. The fluted cabinets, painted in a dark brown similar to the walls, add a funky dimension to the look. Of course, it wouldn’t be a Clouz Houz bar without some flair: a hammered brass sink and faucet, and floating shelves with delicate brass railings.


Always Evolving: The Hunt for Final Pieces for the Rumpus Room

Even though this is a “final reveal,” I’m still on the lookout for a few pieces to complete the space, like a floor lamp for extra lighting. Of course, I believe a room is never completely finished, and evolves with your personal style over time. So, if you need me, just know I’m still hunting for items to repurpose in fun and fresh ways!

Thanks for joining me on this tour of one of my favorite rooms in our home. I hope it inspires you to create a space that tells your own story!

We see it all the time—people spend so much money on furniture and decor, only to step back and realize… nothing actually works together. The problem? No clear plan. No defined style. Just a mix of pieces that looked nice individually but don’t create a cohesive home.
And this can get expensive—fast. Swapping out trendy items, replacing things that don’t fit, redoing entire rooms because they don’t feel right. The truth is, even the best pieces won’t shine if they aren’t working in harmony.
So, how do you avoid the cycle of design mistakes and wasted money? It starts with a vision—understanding your style, knowing what you need, and putting together a plan before you buy. This is exactly what we help with, and we’ve got something coming soon that’ll take the guesswork out of the process.

We snuck away to Neskowin last week for a cozy weekend with family, and it was exactly what we needed.
In case you missed it, we shared all our favorite spots + what we did in our Neskowin beach town guide on the blog! comment ‘Beach’ and we’ll send you the post!
What is my style? What do I actually like? 
If you don’t know your style, you’re not alone.
This is the #1 thing I hear from clients-and it’s usually what keeps people stuck, buying things they don’t love, or feeling totally overwhelmed when it’s time to decorate.
Instead of jumping straight into shopping, slow down and observe what you’re naturally drawn to.
Start by pinning-without overthinking. Save anything that speaks to you: colors, materials, whole rooms, even fashion or travel images.
Then zoom out. What shows up again and again? A color palette? Reclaimed Wood? Soft shapes? Clean lines? Layered neutrals? 
That’s your style talking.
Want to know what comes next?
Here’s how to go from inspiration to actual intention:
1. Measure your space - Don’t eyeball it. Measure your walls, furniture, walkways— everything. This prevents major design regrets.
2. Create a flexible floor plan - Play with furniture layouts to get a feel for what fits and flows.
3. Build your shopping list - Only once you’ve done the above should you start sourcing. You’ll feel way more confident in what to look for, and way less likely to impulse buy.

I might be a little biased with this one—it hits close to home in more ways than one. This style reflects a way of living that’s grounded and intentional… rooted in nature, but designed for everyday ease. It’s where modern functionality meets the kind of rustic character that only gets better with time.
