    I’ve loved her house for awhile and am glad you featured her. I love the small homes much more than the others. ?

    I have followed Farm and Foundry for some time. If you see the before pictures, the transformation is incredible. They did such a great job gutting this home and yard and redoing them. Beautiful, fun house!

    Just found this blog and I absolutely love it. This home is perfection. Although that african grey cage is borderline animal abuse.

    What fun to putter through your home and garden. Adore the mop scare crow. I’m wondering how long the wood scrap garden path would last? I would love to try it, but not if it has to be replaced very often.
