Kate of Farm and Foundry took a neglected 750 square foot house in southern CA into charming story book cottage with gardens (complete with the world’s cutest chicken coop) to match.
This is one of my favorite Eclectic Home Tours – be sure to stop back after the tour to check them all out.
Now let’s head to the backyard.
What cottage is complete without a chicken coop?
Scrap wood garden path.
It’s the perfect yard for garden parties complete with mismatched chairs.
Dining under a crystal covered tree …
complete with fairy door.
Kate turned a bunch of galvanized buckets and lids into this bird bath.
Old scrap wood makes a whimsical garden border.
Head over to visit Kate and her menagerie at Farm and Foundry.
Love peeking into other peoples homes?
Take your pick from my favorite Eclectic Home Tours.
ok i love this one! it’s different and fun! i feel like sometimes there is a sea of white and gray, and this home really stood out to me. and now i need cacti in my window.
I love those colorful cacti!
I love Kate and her home. She has done an outstanding job on this makeover. And just how green can a thumb be? I have total garden envy over here.
I know – I want her to come over and make my yard as quirky and fabulous!
Ok this was super charming. I loved everything about it. 🙂 Love the yards as well 🙂 Stunning!
Glad you liked it Suzie!
Wow! I LOVE EVERYTHING about this wonderful, charming farmhome! Kudos to Kate – her taste is spot on!
Agree Pat – she has such a fun sense of style!
So charming and cute! The painted steps are fun. And those pups 🙂
Fabulous tour, Kelly!

Her dogs are so cute! They remind me of a large version of Sushi!
I am in love and ready to move in. Every little area of this cottage is a delight. Thanks for sharing 🙂
You’re pretty close to her – maybe you can just show up one day!
I’ve loved her house for awhile and am glad you featured her. I love the small homes much more than the others. 😀
It is definitely a one of a kind home!
This is such a cute and amazing home. I want to visit it and see all that wonderfulness in person. Lol!
I’d love to be invited to a party there Marlene!
I love everything about this place but oh-my-gosh! those chickens on that fabulous path – so stinking cute I can hardly stand it :+)
I know – that path is my favorite too!
What a great home! So beautiful and I love her use os such beautiful colors….and must say that I love the chicken coop!!!
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.
