I couldn’t let Valentine’s Day pass by without celebrating my love for my family and my team! They’re the reason that CMFTO and I had such a successful 2025, with over 250 moves completed and the release of Just Call Claudia.

When your space fits your lifestyle, when you’re surrounded by beautiful items that bring you joy, when you can navigate life’s transitions with ease—that’s when you can focus your energies on what matters most. For me, that’s my family, and of course most importantly my granddaughter Bea. How could you not love that sweet face?
Episode 1 of Season 2, with Suzanne Gignilliat, is one of my favorites yet. Suzanne is a force in Chicago real estate and she had so much wisdom to share. In Episode 2, Suzanne and I share the love and welcome Suzanne’s team member Joelle Hayes to the interview couch! Together, Suzanne and Joelle are known as the “Co-op Queens.” You won’t want to miss these episodes, so make sure to subscribe on YouTube or your favorite audio platform!

We looked back through our photo archives for some Valentine’s Day inspiration and found this perfect pop of pink! We staged this Buena Park house for market and were so taken by the unique wallpaper here.

And speaking of Valentine’s Day, check out this attic space! We love how the pink toile fabric complements the deep red walls. Bright paint colors certainly aren’t for everyone, but sometimes it pays to go bold.
