studio zerbey / plus one

Authors: Lauren

Well, not a lot of dull moments in the Zerbey house lately.

Yup, Studio Zerbey just doubled in size.

When I formed Studio Zerbey, we knew there was the possibility that Kyle and I might join forces at some point and well, here we are! This was certainly a big decision (Kyle had been at his previous firm for over seven years and had...

nursery update + baby stuff

Authors: Lauren

We’re about 2 1/2 months into parenthood, so I thought it would be a good time to update you on how the nursery (and related baby products) are working out for us.

In general, the nursery is great. Its proximity to the living areas hasn’t been an issue and actually served as a secondary hang-out space when family was in...

studio zerbey / 1201 boulder

Authors: Lauren

In the last few years and especially since the announcement of Studio Zerbey, I’ve received several inquiries from friends and fellow blog readers about design services. Typically, they’re homeowners who want to tackle their own remodel but need a little guidance first. The only glitch – they usually don’t...

blackout shades

Authors: Lauren

Today is our 7th wedding anniversary! Seriously, where does the time go?

(Oh, remodeling a house together. That’s right.)

Anyhow, I’m not totally sure what the traditional 7-year gift is, but I think it might be blackout shades.

No? Crap. Sorry about that Kyle.

At any rate, we finally ordered and installed shades for the...

two months!

Authors: Lauren

(I promise this isn’t turning into a baby blog – I’ve got new house and Studio Zerbey posts in the hopper!)

Avery is two months old today!

Our little girl is growing fast. She had her 2-month checkup on Friday and is right on track for weight and in the 90th percentile for length! Who knows if it that will stay...

the last days of summer

Authors: Lauren

Tomorrow may be the last official day of summer, but here in Seattle we’re squeezing out every last drop.

When I realized I’d be on “maternity leave” during the peak of summer, I thought I’d be spending my days taking long walks with my newborn and lounging on blankets in the park. Well, that...

redesign!

Authors: Lauren

It was 1992 and I was getting ready to start my first day of middle school. Like most kids, I was apprehensive about the transition, especially when it came to the one thing that strikes fear in every newly-minted 6th grader – lockers. But I wasn’t only concerned with memorizing a combination, I also needed to figure...

blogiversary!

Authors: chezerbey

Well, this year’s blogiversary would have been completely forgotten (or at least massively delayed) had I not been randomly looking through the archives from last August just now. (I was remembering a post about how we always seem to start big house projects during the month of August.) Anyhow, as it turns out yesterday was...

shadowbox

Authors: chezerbey

Ok, I cringe a little at the idea of a “push present” – the seemingly new tradition where a husband or partner is required to buy their baby momma a gift (preferably jewelry) for giving birth. Not that labor isn’t deserving of a present or even a gold medal, it’s just I can’t help but think...
