His name is Oscar - you may think it's weird that

His name is Oscar - you may think it's weird that I name my furniture but for me, it's a sentimental thing. This was my grandpa Oscar's table -so "his" name is "Oscar." It was a labor of love and some fine-tuning of my carpentry skills as I learned how to refurbish a table. I believe that it is important to reuse and refurbish as many items as we can - hence, my labor of love to restore Oscar.

Thrifting for home décor is not only a budget-friendly way to spruce up your space, but it can also be an exciting adventure. Discovering unique and one-of-a-kind treasures that add character to your home is the ultimate thrill for any design enthusiast. For more ideas, click the link In bio. #thrifting #reuse #decor #home

Lately, I have been feeling "my age" more acutely.

Lately, I have been feeling "my age" more acutely. It is not necessarily the actual number but more the idea that time, instead of marching, is sprinting ahead of me. At times, it takes my breath away. I suppose it is normal to think back as we sprint ahead. Every so often I find myself especially nostalgic as I think of my childhood home. Do you do this? Do you believe it’s possible to leave the place we grew up behind? Link in bio for more of the story. #home

As the leaves change color and a gentle breeze fills the air, the fall season invites us to cozy up and make our homes warm and inviting. This year, why not take it further and embrace sustainability in your decor? Sustainable living is not just a trend but a conscious choice that benefits our homes and the planet. Incorporating eco-friendly decor into your home has a multitude of benefits. Here at E&I, we have some ideas to make your home cozy (and earth-friendly) for fall. Link in bio.

Do you watch Ocean Conservation Namibia? If you do

Do you watch Ocean Conservation Namibia? If you don't, I highly recommend it; they are a Non-Profit organization that saves seals from us (yes, that is correct, HUMANS).

My husband got me started watching them, and I have to admit, it is addicting. It is also heart-wrenching yet an amazing example of the really good humans among us who are willing to make a difference.

Please let us know what you think of OCN and their valiant efforts. Here at E&I, we applaud them. Please take a look at the link in our bio.

As September rolls in, it brings a touch of magic

As September rolls in, it brings a touch of magic that entices us to embrace change. I always find this time of year a mix of nostalgia and excitement of a "new year." Yes, I realize we are more than halfway through the calendar year, but for some reason, September marks the start of the year.

What are your ideas for this time of year? Does September hold significance and sway in your life? We would love to hear from you here at E&I; our link is in our bio.

In today's fast-paced society, the fashion industry has become synonymous with "fast fashion." This phenomenon of mass-producing low-cost, trendy clothing items at lightning speed has transformed how we consume fashion. However, the impact of this global industry is less glamorous than it may seem. Fast fashion poses a consequential threat to the fashion industry as a whole.

Please let me know what your thoughts are. Do you agree with slow fashion, capsule wardrobes, and ethical shopping? If you would like more E&I thoughts, you can see our link in our bio.

If you can believe it, we are just days away from September. Summer has time-warped, as I could swear it was just June, and here we are, preparing for fall. It is hard to wrap our minds around the idea of cooler days as we are currently in the middle of a sweltering heat wave in the upper Midwest. Yet, cooler days are soon upon us, and I am already organizing my closets (in my mind).

What about you? Are you ready to bring out your fall capsule closet?

The other day I had a (long) moment of panic; it was one of those “holy shit” moments when one realizes that they have somehow catapulted five decades and find themselves well into middle age with hot flashes, love handles, and crepey skin. The thoughts run wild. I am growing “old.” How did it happen?

Do you do this?

Why do we spend so much of our time and creative energy decorating our homes?
