Latest At Living Large: Heading to the City

While it’s Memorial Day Weekend and many of you might be going to BBQ’s or Memorial Day Parades, I’m heading to Chicago.

On Saturday, I am having lunch with Emma at Vincent and we are meeting MacKenna Held who is in the HGTV show La Pitchoune: Cooking in France and she’s also the author of a new bookMostly French – I will be leaving with a signed copy. The kitchen she cooks in used to be Julia Child’s. A very interesting story.

Today – Sunday, Emma and I are heading to a Antique, Vintage Market with my dear friend Carmen who I’ve know for over 40 years.

What are your plans for the weekend?

Behind the scenes

Hi, I’m Lynn

After years in corporate America, I’ve channeled my interior design degree and passionate creativity into transforming our 1,300 square foot house into a cozy, inviting haven that proves beautiful living doesn’t require massive square footage.

My slightly OCD tendencies fuel my love for organizing while my “Handy” husband helps bring my vintage-inspired decorating visions to life in our empty nest, where we entertain, garden, and cook from scratch.

Join me as I share practical wisdom, a little humor, and professional insights for making the most of every square inch—because I’ve discovered that living large isn’t about the size of your home but how you fill it with style, function, and heart.

About six people, including a baby, stand close together and smile in a warmly lit living room. The adults surround the baby, held by a woman in the center. A colorful painting hangs on the wall behind them.
