I really hope this is our last post about concrete. Yeah, I suppose there’s the initial thrill of the pour (or “placement” if you want to be all technically correct) – working...
Sure enough, after the last marathon weekend of working in the basement Kyle caught some type of flu-like funk and was out of commission for a week. But by last Monday he rallied enough to pour the c...
We’ve been in a bit of a lull with the nursery progress. With the main pieces complete (or yet to be built), I’ve been focusing on textiles and other odds and ends instead. Lots of decisi...
With about two months left to bake, I really wasn’t expecting any celebration or big to-do for Mother’s Day this year. I mean, I’m all for thoughtful actions and nice gestures, but ...
Earlier this week we showed you how replacing our old washing machine and dryer turned into this epic project and now we’re back with round two of “Zerbeys Gone Crazy”. Here’s...
[A quick note to say thank you all for your support and votes in the Small Cool contest. Even though we didnt win the big prize, were glad Daniel did and cant wait to see what kind of awesomeness he ...
As planned, the big task on last weekend’s to-do list was to paint the nursery. Before writing this post I had secretly decided on the color “abyss” (Kyle didn’t have a strong...
…as in, RIGHT NOW! We were thrilled to learn this morning that we won in the “small” category! Voting for the finals was supposed to open at midnight and last through Wednesday afte...
Hey guys, Bailey here. I’ve been meaning to do a blog post for a while now, but these giant paws of mine make it really tough to type. Fortunately, I somehow managed to convince my small-pawed ...
[Psst! Thanks to many of you, our house is currently the top pick in the "small" category in Apartment Therapys Small Cool contest! Theres still a week left to vote and then the top entries f...
We did it. After nearly 6 years of rocking a minimalist (err, brutalist?) yard, we finally bit the bullet and hired a landscape architect. But before we show you what he came up with, let’s get...
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you probably heard that the National Archives recently released an online version of the 1940 census. I hadn’t thought much about it until last wee...
Happy Friday friends! Just a quick note to say that chezerbey is now officially a contestant in Apartment Therapy’s Small Cool 2012 contest! I know, I know…it seems like The Homies just e...
Last Thursday I hopped on a plane and headed to Oklahoma for a long weekend. What started out as a sister’s weekend (we have a yearly tradition that dates back to camping in the backyard as lit...
Maybe it’s early nesting, the change of seasons or Kyle’s recent trip to the allergy doctor, but we spent all of last weekend purging, organizing and cleaning our little house. (We also t...
Every 3-4 months or so we take Bailey to the groomer for a much-needed hair cut. (When I can braid the fur on his paws, I know it’s time.) It’s a splurge, but so worth it when you have a ...
Last Friday was a gorgeous evening. Even though it wasn’t particularly warm, it was sunny…the kind of March day where people flock to outdoor bars and empty the contents of their purse lo...
Posts on the studio loft have been slow because progress on the desk has been slow. Last month we scored two reclaimed fir beams and a few weeks ago we showed you how we turned them into a solid desk...
Ok, so we already showed you what we have in mind for the basic nursery layout, but over the last several months I’ve been thinking more and more about specifics like colors, patterns and furni...
A few weeks ago, we showed you those two big reclaimed beams that we bought to build a work surface for the studio loft space. It would be easy – two beams turned on their side and connected to...
I had this post ready to go last week, but got all caught up in the Homies frenzy. Speaking of, you guys totally pulled it off and we placed 3rd in the prelims! That’s huge considering last yea...
Folks, we’ve got an emergency on our hands – chezerbey is currently in 7th place for the Homies! Only the top 6 blogs advance to final voting next week, which means we need extra support ...
We had our big 2nd trimester ultrasound today and were beyond excited to see a healthy GIRL! Most of our family and friends were predicting a girl (as did a few old wives tales) and we couldn’t...
Hi. You guys are awesome – a big thank you to those that took the time to vote for us in the Homies contest over at Apartment Therapy! If you’re new here, welcome! Although the content of...
It’s that time of year again! Through this Friday, you can nominate your favorite home-related design blog for the 2012 Homies awards on Apartment Therapy. The following week, voting will open ...
Between travelling, skiing and recurring colds, work on the house has slowed down a bit lately. But we still made some good progress, like this: A big thanks to a few of our readers who had the geniu...
Last Thursday we boarded a plane and flew two hours south to Los Angeles for a weekend of sun, family and musical extravaganza. It was sunny and warm when we got there, so we headed straight to the b...
Last weekend Kyle and I went down to IKEA to take a closer look at the Stolmen drawer units that I wrote about a few weeks ago. We went on a Sunday evening, thinking it would be less busy. Yeah, just...
First of all, a huge thank you for all of the congratulations and well wishes for our big news! We’re excited to share this journey of how we transition to a family of 3 while staying in our sm...
In addition to the basement and loft, we’ll be taking on one more interior project this year: Yup, we’re going to have a baby! The littlest Zerbey is due at the end of July and we canR...
