http://www.evelynandtheodore.com/2016/03/discovering-my-style-and-other-long.html
Thursday, March 17, 2016. Discovering My Style (and other long drawn out excuses as to why I've been gone). After an unexpected long hiatus, I am back (and this time for good)! And before you roll your eyes and think Sure, okay, whatever you say. I have legitimate reasons for the lack of posts lately. You see, I looked around the house recently and said to myself:. What in the hell are you doing? Whoa gross. Boxes and bags of donation items, painting supplies, Aaron's beer (wth), and 8 million other ...

{Evelyn & Theodore}: Thrifty Thursday 09: Lane Acclaim & Danish Oil
http://www.evelynandtheodore.com/2016/12/thrifty-thursday-09-lane-acclaim-danish.html
Thursday, December 29, 2016. Thrifty Thursday 09: Lane Acclaim and Danish Oil. I know, it's been a while! I've been working on finals, finishing up the semester, and preparing for the holidays; I haven't had much time for projects, let alone time to write about them! But now that the semester is over and the holidays are all taken care of, I have a bit of extra time to return back to what I love doing. Those dovetail joints are to die for! This table had already been stripped down of its original finish&...

{Evelyn & Theodore}: Welcome to Evelyn & Theodore
http://www.evelynandtheodore.com/2016/07/welcome-to-evelyn-theodore.html
Friday, July 1, 2016. Welcome to Evelyn and Theodore. Two years ago, this little blog started out as "Chirp! And has evolved into something so much bigger. When we first started, this was a DIY journey through our early 20s, and we focused around the furniture that I was refinishing for our own home. There were glimpses into our everyday lives, the struggles that came with moving out on our own, and plenty of big DIY projects. Picking up my first project, 2014. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

{Evelyn & Theodore}: Thrifty Thursday 07: MCM Bedroom Set
http://www.evelynandtheodore.com/2016/11/thrifty-thursday-07-mcm-bedroom-set.html
Thursday, November 10, 2016. Thrifty Thursday 07: MCM Bedroom Set. It's been a pretty uneventful thrifting week, as I've been cleaning and keeping myself busy. I did score a fantastic bedroom set from Craigslist, complete with bed frame, lowboy (with mirror), and tall boy dresser. The seller does professional clean-outs, and had some back story on the pieces, which is always interesting to me. The set belonged to a Vietnam veteran, who happened to be a paper hoarder. Well don't those look familiar? Now j...

http://www.evelynandtheodore.com/2016/11/thrifty-thursday-08-spotted-in-our-area.html
Thursday, November 17, 2016. Thrifty Thursday 08: Spotted in Our Area. All in all, this month has been pretty mellow on the DIY front. Between focusing on school, going to work, and having a social life, there hasn't been a whole lot of motivation to get down and use some serious elbow grease. Antique Secretary Desk (project piece, Winter 2016). Two Eames DAW Rocking Chairs (reproduction) originally $125 each (received like-new, no work needed). When I first saw it, it was listed on CL for $120. I we...

{Evelyn & Theodore}: Ikea Hack: Personalized Trivets
http://www.evelynandtheodore.com/2015/08/ikea-hack-personalized-trivets.html
Friday, August 14, 2015. Ikea Hack: Personalized Trivets. Okay, am I the only one that constantly sees Ikea hacks all over the internet and has never done one for myself? They're everywhere: Pinterest, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, blogs galore. How have I, with my love for Ikea, and my love for DIY, never. Done one of these? That ends here, my friends. And I picked something that is (virtually) impossible to mess up. Or in your craft room (hot glue guns). Go for it. Color blocking? Hell yes. Stripes?
