zerbebe nursery: progress sneak peek

Authors: chezerbey

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 preference either way), but I soon found myself rethinking every option and ultimately chose “baby black seal” instead...

…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 afternoon, but it seems like they’ve changed things up a bit and polls are officially open for a single-day vote only! Besides the...

an open letter from bailey

Authors: chezerbey

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 brother Felix to help me out (even though I did I push open the bathroom door and eat all of his breakfast this morning).

So...

zerbebe nursery: crib + colors + consignment

Authors: chezerbey

It’s been a while since we did a nursery post, but that’s only because there hasn’t been much to write about. Until now…

Boom! Ok, it’s just a crib and some color samples but it’s progress nonetheless. 

I’ve been mulling over all the amazing comments you guys left on our nursery design post...

landscape plan!

Authors: chezerbey

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 everyone up to speed on the traumatic history of our yard. It all started in ’06, when we became the proud new owners of some...

1940 census

Authors: chezerbey

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 weekend when my brother pulled up info on the family that lived in the house we grew up in (built in 1919). I love a good research...

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 ended (another gigantic thank you for all of your support by the way!), but now things get serious. Why? Because the grand prize for...

oklahoma + laundry

Authors: chezerbey

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 little kids) turned into a family reunion of sorts when we decided to meet up in northeast Oklahoma instead of one of our respective...

spring cleaning

Authors: chezerbey

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 took lots of new photos, so look out for that in the coming weeks!)

One of the items on the to-do list was to have our ducts...

this dog

Authors: chezerbey

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 dog with freakishly large paws and the ability to track in leaves and small branches in his fur. 

Last week, when he came home...
