Claire M. Langston is a home design writer and everyday living enthusiast. With a background in interior styling and over a decade of hands-on experience organizing real homes, she created Stories of a House to share practical advice, personal stories, and thoughtful inspiration for people who want to love where they live — without needing a designer budget. From closet chaos to cozy corners, Claire believes that small changes can transform how we feel in our homes. Her writing blends practical tips with a warm, personal touch that makes every article relatable and realistic. “A home doesn’t need to be perfect — it just needs to reflect the people living in it.” When she's not writing, you’ll find Claire rethinking a bookshelf, sipping black coffee, or rearranging furniture — again.
