This time last year we had a really fun alfresco dinner party with our neighbors. We had lots of fun again with them last weekend for the 4th. Living on water and summer outdoors with friends is our normal. 💙☀️💙☀️💙☀️💙☀️💙☀️💙 . . Planning a virtual Bridal Shower for my niece this upcoming weekend. I’ll be sharing what we did on my blog next week. . . . . #socialdistancing #entertainingalfresco #waterviewwednesdays #livinglargeinasmallhouse #livingontheriver

Happy 4th of July Friends 💙🇺🇸❤️ . .

Happy 4th of July Friends 💙🇺🇸❤️ . . We are working outside on our outdoor living room project and it’s so hot in the Chicago suburbs. We are melting. Time for some lemonade 🍋 . . Later today we are having dinner with our neighbors. There are no official 4th celebrations going on around here but last night our neighbors on the water were lighting up the sky’s. I’m sure tonight will be worse. Our dog has been strangely calm. I think she’s gotten so used to us being home that her anxiety issues have really gotten better. . . I hope everyone has a fun weekend. Please stay safe. Social distance and wear a mask 😷 It works! ❤️🇺🇸💙🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸💙🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸💙 . . #4thofjuly #independenceday #livinglargeinasmallhouse #stayhealthystayhopefulstayhome

I’m so excited to announce the redesign and relaunch of www.livinglargeinasmallhouse.com 💗🍃💗🍃💗🍃💗🍃💗🍃💗 . . I was furloughed from my job back in March and permanently laid off last week. I’ve been spending my time, doing what I love. I’ve been home and enjoying “almost” 😉 every second of it. . . I’ve been trying for years to get my blog to work with me, not against me so that I can share my passion with all of you. I think I’ve got it figured out. The link to my blog is in my bio. I hope you’ll all check it out. 💗🍃💗🍃💗🍃💗🍃💗🍃💗

My new porch swing is my new favorite place. I’ve had coffee outside in the morning everyday since “Handy” finished it and brought it home. We didn’t do much this weekend as we were celebrating “Dad” but we’ll probably turn up the dial this week. I’ve missed out on three amazing white wicker sofas on marketplace and that was frustrating. But this is a new week and we will be gettin’ her done 💙 . . . . #outdoorlivingroom #livinglargeinasmallhouse #farmhousestyle #farmhousedecor #urbanfarming #urbanfarmers #mycountryhome #bhghome #bhg #bhgstylemaker #betterhomesandgardens #mybhg #hgtv #hgtvstyle #mycountryhome #cottagesandbungalows #fleamarket #mypotterybarn #lovemypotterybarn #pier1love #myhousebeautiful #coastalliving #midwestliving #cottagestyle #houseandhome #eclecticfarmhousye #countryliving #countryjournal #livingontheriver . . . . #livinglargeinasmallhouse #farmhousestyle #farmhousedecor #urbanfarming #urbanfarmers #mycountryhome #bhghome #bhg #bhgstylemaker #betterhomesandgardens #mybhg #hgtv #hgtvstyle #mycountryhome #cottagesandbungalows #fleamarket #mypotterybarn #lovemypotterybarn #pier1love #myhousebeautiful #coastalliving #midwestliving #cottagestyle #houseandhome #eclecticfarmhousye #countryliving #countryjournal #livingontheriver

I can’t wait to share with all of you the change

I can’t wait to share with all of you the changes we are making to our outdoor living room...actually our whole outdoor space. Our daughter @annievogeler is getting married next year in June and she really wants to have the rehearsal dinner in our back yard. So! The fun begins to get our yard in tip top shape 💙 I can’t wait to share our transformation with all of you but it might be a few weeks 😉 . . . . #bdsdaily1 #beautifuldecorstyles71n #outdoorlivingroom #upcomingwedding #livinglargeinasmallhouse #farmhousestyle #farmhousedecor #urbanfarming #urbanfarmers #mycountryhome #bhghome #bhg #bhgstylemaker #betterhomesandgardens #mybhg #hgtv #hgtvstyle #mycountryhome #cottagesandbungalows #fleamarket #mypotterybarn #myhousebeautiful #coastalliving #midwestliving #cottagestyle #houseandhome #eclecticfarmhousye #countryliving #countryjournal #livingontheriver
