Welcome to Redesign with the Rabbitts
/I am so excited you are here and reading our first blog post!!! Launching this business is definitely an adventure. Our goal at Rabbitt Redesign is simple, to help people fall in LOVE with their home all over. Starting this business has been a long journey for me, and although I had originally started a business with a friend, it did not quite work out as I had hoped. So now I am venturing out on my own, which is scary and at times intimidating, but my husband Chris is along for the ride. He is helping me with the business side of things and also serves as my own personal handyman, as we tackle projects in our own home. Every other week I will be sharing projects and ideas with you that we have done or are currently doing in our own house. My hope is that I provide inspiration for you to tackle projects in your own home that make it beautiful and functional. Because a beautiful home is great, but if it doesn’t function for you and your family what’s the point? I can’t wait to share what I have learned as Chris and I continue to renovate our home.
Meet the Rabbitt’s! Chris, Lauren, Zoe & Charlie
I decided that my first blog should tell you a little bit more about myself as you venture out on this journey with me. I am a mother, wife, high school teacher, lover of history, travel enthusiast (or at least used to be) and passionate about all things home design and home organization. I love everything about design, décor and organization. Honestly, doing it makes me feel centered and calm, which is not something I always am. It is my own personal therapy and helping others find the joy and love for their home is something that inspires me on a daily basis.
When Chris and I bought our home in the suburbs of Chicago almost 3 years ago, I immediately fell in love with it. We loved the location and the house had the space we were desperately looking for. It was something we knew we could grow into. However, it was outdated and needed some work to say the least. So for the last 3 years we have been slowly renovating our home to make it our own. I definitely rushed into a few design choices but have come to realize that some of my original ideas need to be adjusted. But you know what they say we are all a work in progress and our home is no different. I have recently been trying to determine my own style for our home and I would call it Modern American Traditional. What that is, I am still in the process of defining but hope to share it with you all on this journey.

So what better way to introduce myself then by sharing my top design and organization rules that I live by. I hope these rules will guide you in making you love your own home.
Top Ten Design & Organization Rules I Live By:
Imperfect Perfection
Stay true to your own style and your home’s style
Your home should be a reflection you and your family
Create a functional system that works for YOU no one else
LABELS = LOVE
Less is always more
Have fun with color, life is more fun in color
LIVE in your HOME
Remember one day at a time, one space at a time
It takes a village
Thank you for coming on this adventure with Rabbitt Redesign!!!!
