Okay, I’m totally blushing from your comments yesterday to our House Tour! The house was definitely a labor of love, and the changes took place slowly over almost-eight years. That made leaving extra hard, but I’m so excited for the new owners to make it their own! Too bad they aren’t influencers and I could secretly follow along, ha!
Yesterday was all about the downstairs… kitchen, dining room, family room, primary bedroom and more (see it HERE), so today we’re headed upstairs! The renovations were mostly cosmetic, but we still made them ‘us.’

And that, friends, is our beloved home on Rosemont Drive. She was a good house, and we’ll remember her always. I am so excited for the change, and anxious about making this new house feel like our home. But mostly, I’m just so grateful to continue the next chapter of our family’s story here. I hope you’ll follow along for the ride!
Sending you all much love and gratitude. xo. C.
I have read your blog for years…but feel like this may be one of the first time you ever used your kids real names 😀. I love your style.
It probably is one of the first times I’ve put them in a blog post!! xoxo, C
What an amazing evolution! It is a gorgeous home and the new family is very lucky to have found it. I love all your World Market finds – I grew up in the SF Bay Area when WM was called Cost Plus and I still call it that sometimes, ha! It’s still one of my favorite shops for unique finds.
Ha! I’m not sure I knew that that was a NW thing?! I need to check with Mr. SP! xoxo, C
Really going to miss your old house. Too many fine details to mention. I do notice how using a satin, semi-gloss, or even gloss paint finish really catches the light and brightens everything around it up-like the white cabinetry in the upstairs bonus room. So many rooms/details I am so going to miss, and I don’t even live there. Bwaaaaaa! -(crying) ha,ha.
Let me know when the Cassie’s Moving House Sale begins, I’ll be the first in line. : ) xoxo.
You’re so right about the paint finishes, Sandy!!! xo, C
A fab post, I can see why you loved that stunning home! ❤️
We will miss it so much, you have no idea!! xo, c
Oh Cassie, I hope your daughter truly knows how much you love her. Your home was absolutely beautiful/stylish but comfortable at the same time. I am excited to see the progress on the new family home, as I was on the Lake House (which I could live there!!). More memories are waiting❤
Thank you, Monica! I can’t wait to start sharing more! xo, C
You’ve been in the old house 8 years? I started following you shortly before you moved. I remember you were scrambling because you had a magazine photo shoot scheduled just about the time you moved. Somehow you made that happen. It will be fun watching you make your new home your own, with lots of color and intentional details. I love Kristen’s work, excited to see the two of you work together again.
How you left that boutique sized closet I’ll never know…
It’ll be 8 years at the end of this year, crazy right?! Thank you so much for following along all these years, Patricia! xo, C
your house was beautiful! and thank you for not painting the brick white!
Thank you!! And ha, you’re welcome! <3 xoxo, C
Agree w/Laura!! : ))
Love all the details and customizations you put in, it’s a beautiful home! Can’t wait to see what you do with the new house! Are you planning to do it yourself or work with a designer? If so I’d love to see a post on how to collaborate that process.
Thank you, Megan! We have worked with The Hunted Interior and A Well Dressed Home in the past, so I’m sure they will work their magic at some point! xoxo, C
I remember each and every one of those updates/changes/makeovers! Just beautiful ~ so excited for your story to continue in your new home! We too, moved while our oldest was in college – I loved reading your thoughts as it was just as important to me that my kiddo move with us – not come home to a new house! Much love and joy to you in your new modern Spanish casa! xo
Thank you so much, Tammy!! So honored that you’ve been a follower for that long!!! xo, C
Love your taste in clothing and home decor! I searched the sources for the upstairs living room but see that a colorful painting over the console is not listed. Would you please share source? Keeping fingers crossed it’s still in stock. Excited to see you make your new home your nest!
Hi Vicki! Here is the link! https://shopstyle.it/l/bLV7t
You are the best- Seriously! I follow quite a few influencers and you always share your size (which many don’t) and you follow up with sources. One of my favs for sure!! Thank you so very much!
Thank you so much, Vicki! I try to keep it real, ha! xo, C
Your old house is my dream house. I loved watching you make it your own, and I am so happy you didn’t paint the brick. Praying for all of you as you settle into your new home.
Oh thank you so much, Jen!!! And yes – so glad we kept the brick as is!! xo, C
