The Design Team
Laura is a life-long vintage lover, a wife and mother of two young children, a violinist and an outdoor enthusiast. Before growing her vintage business online and in local small businesses, Laura worked for The McCourt’s Music Group from 2004-2020. Laura loved working with the local school music programs, helping children learn to play instruments and watching families grow musically together.
After having her second child, Laura’s desire to share her love of vintage and secondhand finds grew. Ironside Vintage began on Instagram in February of 2020. A year later, she expanded to online sales and local booths.
After opening The Rabbit Hole Vintage & Handmade shop in Waterford, MI in the Spring of 2023 with Marna & Heather, Laura looked towards expanding her design services. Since then, she has worked with her clients to bring vintage style and organizing solutions to their homes and businesses.
Laura believes in creating spaces that are both pleasing to look at and exciting to live in. Mixing function and form are her specialties. Laura especially loves to work with your family heirlooms, ensuring that your family history is highlighted and cared for. A cozy, moody, maximalist room is on the top of Laura’s style list. Her favorite items to curate are Americana folk art, carved wood details, vintage floral and portrait art, brass anything and fabulous vintage rugs.

Laura Schwartzenberger
Kerry’s design journey began in her childhood home, a beautifully decorated, tidy, and organized space that fostered focus, creativity, and a peaceful refuge from the overwhelm of daily life. These early influences became the foundation for how she approached her own home and, ultimately, her career.
Although her educational background is in communications and graphic design, Kerry became a key player in her family’s real estate business, consulting with clients on improving their interiors when preparing to sell their homes. This work came so naturally to her that she pursued it further, earning her certification as a Staging Design Professional in 2020. She has since expanded her resume to include consulting, home organization, and custom home systems for families inspired by the Waldorf educational philosophy, a lifestyle she’s immersed herself in since becoming a mother of two nature-loving little girls.
An avid thrifter, Kerry is passionate about updating her home with secondhand furnishings and decor, each item chosen with purpose, meaning, and the ability to delight. Some of her favorite thrifted finds include handmade pottery, woven baskets, trinket boxes and trays, original art, and anything with claw feet. Kerry is excited to share her passions and help others create peaceful, purposeful homes filled with love and joy.
