Fire horse energy doesn’t wait for a clear calendar. Neither do I.

As you know, a lot has happened lately: I’m moving to Los Angeles. We re-acquired The Home Edit. I’ve shared the big headlines. But what I haven’t told you is what it actually looked like behind the scenes. Until now. (Have I mentioned how much I love Substack? Anyway!)

OK, I’m going to be honest — I had no idea how fun this series would be. I love showing you all the lesser-seen corners of my home. So let’s keep going, shall we?

Today I’m showing you one of my favorite rooms: the media room. And then another (surprising) favorite: the laundry room. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know, I know. BUT when it’s organized and pretty, it too can become your favorite room in the house. Come along!

MOVIE NIGHT

This room hasn't been photographed much, but it’s a heavy hitter for the kids and their friends. Every movie night happens here. Every sleepover happens here. (Though remaking the bunk beds is either a workout or a character-building exercise. Still deciding.) The sectional alone has been known to sleep up to four people in the great Nashville ice storm of 2026 (a story for another time). I thought the candy in the canisters would stay decorative, but keeping them stocked has become a full time job!

Joanna here! Since you all loved Clea giving an inside peek into her home, I was like, emmmm my turn. And I’m not even moving! (Yes, that’s a burn. Yes, I’m still feeling feelings about it. And yes, I still love her.) I’m fighting my cringe of being filmed (will it ever get easier?) to show y’all some of my favorite—and hard-working—spaces. Enjoy!

DOG DAYS

Mabel's House (more like Mabel's Hotel) nestled under the staircase is anything but a doghouse. It's super elevated and cozy, plus all her supplies (from medicine to dog food) are hidden within reach. We even plumbed the nook for water for her bowls. It's her world, we're just living in it.

Pull up your calendar right now: Mother’s Day is May 10! Yes, that’s in two weeks. Yes, it is almost May. And yes, we are also deeply confused about how that happened.

We know “robe for Mom” sounds like the gift equivalent of a participation trophy. But hear us out: Have you ever received a really, really good robe? The kind you live in? That’s the Weezie robe (pic above!) and we are both obsessed. So this is the exception to the rule. And John and Jeremy, if you’re reading this (which I’m sure y’all are!) we’ll happily take another, plus a few extras from the list below. Thanks for the partnership, guys!

Our Do-Not-Gift List

Clea
Dish towels with words. Nice words, funny words, sentimental words: Does. Not. Matter.

Joanna
Pajamas that are too long. Even the shorts. (Petite friends, rise up!)

Both of Us
A “cute” mug. No one-off black sheep cups in the pantry. Chills. And if our face is on it, it might accidentally fall to the floor and shatter immediately. Oops.

THE Gift List

How chic would this ring look in a stack? (Psst: First timers get 10% off)

This brand Apartment 837 makes fake flower arrangements that actually aren’t hideous. The gift that keeps on giving.

The scent of this “Leather Appointment” candle stopped us in our tracks.

The aforementioned robe that has changed the robe experience forever.

We actually love these in the birthstone colors of our kids. (Nothing against full names around our necks, but no thank you.)

Clea splurged on this Dior card holder, and she is obsessed. (I mean, you use it every single day. It’s called investing.

Seriously, the only products you need in your shower. Treat yourself.

We see you, mahjong. And we get it. Hell, we love it! But seriously, Rummikub is the GOAT. (Sutton said I can still say GOAT.) And disguised as an elevated coffee table book? No notes.

Perfect pairing alert: This St. Ives sweater with a plane ticket. To St. Ives.

Remember when we were worried about “going from day to night with ease” in the ‘90s? Great news: This perfect summer shoe is doing the work.

Joanna hates (hates, hates, hates!) pajamas that are too long — what are we, hemming our pajamas? Who has time? She needs these in every color.

If you’ve been with us for a while, you know who added this to the list. Best Swedish candies ever!

This gift is not a trick! We are obsessed with these weights because THEY DON’T LOOK LIKE WEIGHTS.

Happy (early!) Mother’s Day to our moms and to every extraordinary woman in our lives. We love you, we appreciate you, we’d be lost without you. You might be seeing some of these gifts on your doorsteps soon! 👀

As promised, we’re flinging open our camera rolls. We’re getting reallllll vulnerable here, guys. Some pics are pretty. Some are pretty real. We’ll be doing this every month — and let’s just say April was a doozy. Enjoy!

CLEA’S ROLL

BUBBLES (AND BUBBLE WRAP)

Packing has started, and so have all the feels. Priorities first: champagne and glassware. Precious cargo, coming through.

Hi, guys! It was so fun showing you pictures of my Nashville house last week. Truly, it’s the best house and we’ll miss it so much. (Hush, Joanna.) Before I start packing, I wanted to do a deep dive and show you the nitty-gritty organization of some of my favorite spaces. I’m opening cabinets! Grab a snack (from your organized pantry, obviously) and enjoy the show!

THE SCULLERY KITCHEN

I had no idea what a scullery kitchen actually was before building this house. (Quick internet search: a secondary, functional room adjacent to the main kitchen, used as a hidden space for food prep, dishwashing and appliance storage.) Noted! But honestly, this is where I do most of my actual cooking. Air fryer, oils and vinegars, spices — everything organized and within reach.

Welcome to my Nashville house ✨ This tour has been a long time coming - and now that I’m finally getting around to sharing all the details - I’m moving! It’s hard to believe we are leaving this house that we so lovingly built from the ground-up. We worked with our designer, Lindsay Rhodes, to create a home that blended Parisian design mixed with old Hollywood glamour. Every room has so much charm, character, and detail. I’m going to miss this house SO MUCH, but I’m also so grateful for the time we have spent here as a family.

ENTRY

It was our designer, Lindsay, who had the idea to put in the black and white marble floor in the entry, and I’m so glad we did. It stretches through the downstairs hallway and really sets the tone for the rest of the house. The entry table is an antique from France as is the chair that our dog, Indie, has chosen as his dog bed.

OFFICE

The office is right off the entry, so I wanted a beautiful desk that I could keep completely clear - but plenty of drawers behind me to hold everything from laptops to stationery.

DINING ROOM

The room started with the wallpaper selection (it’s Gucci - don’t come for me), and we drew from the colors to create the rest of the room. Lindsay found these fabulous chairs and had them recovered in green alpaca to tie everything together.

KITCHEN

We’re so excited to move our newsletter over to Substack and share with you guys every week here on THE Group Chat! And it feels like the perfect timing, because A LOT has been happening behind the scenes. Grab some candy or champagne and let’s get into it!

Making Moves

First, Clea is moving to Los Angeles. DON’T PANIC. She committed a professional and personal blood oath with Joanna to go back to Nashville one week a month. We may even get it notarized (after we Google “What’s a notary?”). We are still work besties and bestie besties, now with more sleepovers. (Joanna has been marked safe from this announcement.)

Homecoming

Second, we have some exciting business news. Building our brand in partnership with Hello Sunshine over the past four years has been the absolute opportunity of a lifetime. For our next chapter, we have acquired the business back and are revisiting our roots! So what’s next you ask?

We’re still doing what we do best: being your go-to for decluttering and creating systems for your home, loads of bff content, tons of new organizing products AND categories, plus lots of brand newness in the pipeline. (Like our new merch line that we need your help designing!)

Group Chat, Activated!

On THE Group Chat, we’ll be sharing THE tea every Wednesday. Think unfiltered essays, exclusive sneak peeks (who wants to see Clea’s new house?!), long distance friendship catch-up videos, hacks to conquer that junk drawer FOR GOOD, how to organize your carry-on suitcase (we’re a house divided on that one), and much, much more.

It goes without saying, we wouldn’t be here without YOU. We’re grateful for every chapter that got us here. And we are losing our minds with excitement over what comes next.

LFG!
Clea & Joanna
