Where Passion Meets Power Tools


Welcome to Cass Makes Home! This little corner of the internet is where I share my love for all things DIY, home improvement, and creative living. What started as a way to make our house feel like home while my husband was deployed has grown into a space for inspiration, encouragement, and real-life tips for tackling projects big and small.

Whether you’re here to try something new, take on a challenge, or just browse for ideas, my mission is to show you that creating a beautiful, functional home is possible for everyone—no matter your budget or experience.


Because your home should tell your story, not someone else’s

Hey there! I’m Cass—a wife, mom, and relentless DIY enthusiast based in Eastern Virginia. When my husband, David, was away on deployments, I turned to home projects as a way to stay busy and make our house feel like ours. What started as a hobby quickly became a passion, and now, a way of life.

Over the years, I’ve learned (and re-learned) the ins and outs of DIY, from tackling tool fears to mastering creative solutions for tricky spaces. And now, I’m here to share it all with you—the wins, the lessons, and the moments in between.


I'm Cass,

Just a girl with a drill, a dream, and a lot of determination.

Practical Creativity

Learn as You Go

Inspiring Confidence

Every project is rooted in function and practicality, but with plenty of room for fun, personality, and flair.


I believe in figuring things out along the way—progress over perfection is the motto here.



I’m here to help you feel empowered to try something new, make mistakes, and ultimately create a space you’re proud of.



How I Bring Spaces to Life:

I have an identical twin sister named, Kelsey.

One

I have a tattoo on the inside of my lip that I got when I was 17.

Two

I once was a personal trainer and group exercise instructor...and also a bartender!

Three

I have a ruptured disc in my lower back, but I've never broken any bones.

Four

I became pregnant with my oldest daughter when I was 19 and in college. I dropped out of school and became a stay-at-home mom.

Five

I am extremely clumsy.

Six

My Nanna taught me how to sew when I was 7 years old. It's one of my favorite things to do, still.
