Farmyard Darlings Expands

20 Lafayette Circle, Lafayette

www.farmyarddarlings.com - (925) 818-1038

Farmyard Darlings recently opened its second store in Lafayette, just in time for the Lafayette Art and Wine Festival on Saturday, Sept. 19. Kim Berry and Carole Sinclair opened their first country chic furniture store at the end of 2010 in the cottage in the back of Mt. Diablo Nursery at 3295 Mt. Diablo Blvd. The two ladies are now taking over the building that was known as The Hen House at 20 Lafayette Circle, between The Cooperage and The Round Up. This historic building was first built on what is now Mt. Diablo Boulevard in 1920 before being moved to Lafayette Circle approximately 20 years later. The most recent business owner was Elizabeth Kirkpatrick who managed an antique and collectible store there for more than 12 years. Berry and Sinclair love collecting and repurposing vintage and farm-related objects and one-of-a-kind treasures. They feel that they are cowgirls at heart; they were both raised with horses and have been collecting and reclaiming antiques gathered in Northern California even before they met. They create custom furniture from old farm pieces that get repurposed. Their merchandise has attracted a growing number of clients, and they needed to expand. They will continue to exhibit their merchandise in the nursery.
