Polly’s Invitation
Hey everyone! As you might’ve heard, Polly’s birthday is coming up. We’re going to hold a surprise party for her – but the trick is going to be keeping it a secret. I don’t think Polly wants us to make a big deal of her birthday, but c’mon! She’s our friend. I hope she LOVES the party. And forgives us for having it! Here’s the invitation we’re sending out: Neat, huh? It doesn’t look special at all! So if she happens to see any kids reading it, she won’t be suspicious. But on the inside, this is what it looks like: It’s the perfect surprise party invitation!
Plumpy’s Letter to Ruby
Dear Ruby, The bridesmaid dress crisis has been averted! Thankfully, I got a phone call from Persephone this morning and she said that she actually found three beautiful dresses in her backroom. They’re perfect for Nibbles, Tabby and you! She’s going to make a few alterations, but they will most definitely be ready for my wedding. Which is exactly one month from today, by the way! I hope you’re getting excited – I know I am! I’m going to go taste-test some cakes at La Soufflé in a couple of days. I’m pretty sure I’m going to go with chocolate cake with a grassy nibble butter cream, but we’ll have to see what Charles says! Love, Plumpy

Plumpy’s Bad News
Dear Cousin Ruby, You’ll NEVER believe what I found out today – something TERRIBLE happened to my bridesmaids’ dresses. Know how they’re supposed to be a lovely light pink? Well, it turns out that someone left them in the dye too long. And now? They’re NEON pink! I can’t believe it. Persephone must have apologized a hundred times. It wasn’t her fault, of course. Just a mistake one of her assistants made. But…oh, Ruby. I don’t know what I’m going to do if Persephone can’t make new dresses in time for the wedding! I suppose worse things could happen…but hopefully they won’t! I promise to do my best to make sure you’re not wearing neon pink to my wedding. Love, Plumpy
Robert Rabbit’s Office Makeover
Elwin here with another fantastic transformation in the Rabbit house. We started with a totally empty room. Robert Rabbit told us he’d like us to make him an office. So we did! Check it out: Now THERE’S a room that looks official! Robert LOVED the new desk, the beautiful open-air feeling of the wallpaper, the wooden floors and the area for resting and enjoying a carrot or two. If you could have anything in your ideal office, what would it be?
A Special Treasure Box
So since the baby is going to be here in a matter of months (eek!), I thought I might make him or her something special: a treasure box! Parents like to keep all sorts of mementos from when their babies are small, so I figured my parents would be happy to have something like that for my brother or sister. What you need: Kleenex box or shoe box, packing tape, fancy paper, craft glue, decorative items, plain paper, marker What you do: If you’re using a Kleenex box, cut about an inch and a half from the top, all the way around to make a lid for the box. Leave one long side uncut (this is the hinge). If you’re using a shoe box, use packing tape to tape one long side – this is the hinge. Decorate your box with the fancy paper. Use the craft glue to stick it to the box. Decorate the lid with all kinds of neat stuff: shells, rocks, stickers, felt shapes – whatever you like! Attach your plain piece of paper to the lid of the box and write “Treasure Box” on it. Present the box to your parents (or whoever it’s for).
Roberta’s Mom’s Office
Roberta’s mom, Rosemary, has a very successful sewing business. From clothes to puppets, she pretty much sews it all. She also loves to paint. She works from home, so she really needed a space to call her own. She said she used to take over the dining room table. Not anymore! Hailey and I created the ultimate office for a busy business-rabbit.
Roberta’s Room: Before & After
Hey everyone! Roberta here with some SUPER exciting news – the Designer Elephants redecorated my room today! And it’s BEAUTIFUL. Elwin and Hailey both drew up designs to show me, and then told me I could pick one…but I think I need some help to choose. Here’s Hailey’s design: Really simple, very chic and definitely not little-girl-ish at all! I love the couch so that when Cowabelle sleeps over, she doesn’t have to sleep on the floor! Then Elwin showed me his design. Look at those colors! And the bay window – LOVE it! It’s funny how both Hailey and Elwin used shades of purple, but in such different ways. So help me out, friends. If you had to choose one of the designs, which would you choose?
Roberta’s Kitchen Makeover
Elwin and I have designed a few kitchens in our time. We redecorated Chef Gazpacho’s house, redid Fluffington’s kitchen, and even redesigned our dad’s kitchen (he was actually our first client!). The Rabbit family’s kitchen was a lot of fun to redesign. We had a really big room to work with, and the only things they requested were: 1. A breakfast nook 2. An island 3. LOTS of storage Easy, right? Here’s what we ended up with: Hailey and I love, love, LOVE the modern look of this room. The wallpaper and flooring work just perfectly with the high-end appliances and breakfast nook. This kitchen is almost professional enough for a chef like Gazpacho!
Roberta’s Parents’ Bedroom: Before & After
Elwin here with our very first Rabbit family home makeover. We decided to start with Roberta’s parents’ room. Since Mrs. Rabbit is pregnant, we know she needs lots of rest and that she wants a peaceful, pretty room. Mr. Rabbit’s only request was for a comfy chair so he could read. With that in mind, we got busy and created a new design. First, here’s what the room USED to look like: There’s a lot going on in this room. The furniture is very heavy, and quite mismatched. Also, neither of the Rabbits was very fond of the country western feel that the bathroom had. Hailey and I couldn’t agree more! Now, here’s what we came up with: Ahh! Beautiful! Hailey and I decided to keep the floor and change the wall color. We went with a very light brown to keep the room tranquil. My favorite change was the bathroom – it feels just like a spa. Roberta’s mom said she might never leave her room again! I guess she likes it!
