White Barn Home opened on March 16, taking over the former Farmyard Darlings space on Lafayette Circle across from Lafayette Square. Former Farmyard Darlings co-owner, Kim Berry, is teaming up with her daughter, Kylie, on this new venture to bring modern country living to Lamorinda.

"Our goal is to make your home your favorite place to be ... your happy place," Kim Berry says. The store features new modern farmhouse decor with white as the backdrop. The concept is to source primarily from local vendors, with handmade decor styles and White Barn Home's own furniture designs with plenty of floor samples to choose from. In addition, White Barn Home can customize styles to fit your home.

The store is collaborating with local businesses to curate a unique modern feel, like Lafayette's Amphora Nueva olive oils and vinegars, soaps from Alhambra Valley in Martinez, dough bowl candles from Brentwood's Spinola Farm & Co., Collective Hearts jewelry in Marin, and more. "Our number one goal when opening White Barn Home was to partner and source with as many local businesses as possible. We believe strongly in supporting our local community," Kim Berry explains.

While Kim focuses on the decor aesthetic and store experience, Kylie manages the marketing, social media, and parts of the sourcing research. Kylie is currently a marketing major in the Carson College of Business at Washington State University.

The store is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. For the latest assortment and inspiration, follow them on Instagram @white_barn_home.
