I don’t consider myself an obsessive person. I love fresh food but won’t pass up a burger and fries. I love fashion but often can be found in a tee and flip-flops. I try to approach life with a rational and easy manner that doesn’t get locked on anything too much…why do I feel the need to make this disclaimer? Because I completely own the fact that my over the top chicken coop is the result of my obsession with designing a home for my feathered friends.
The coop in our backyard started off as a little place that was just not big enough for my growing brood. With a bloodthirsty dog in our midst we needed to have protection and room to roam. So, I got to work with our handyman (not my husband, who’s a wonderful man with many gifts but none that involve a hammer and nail) and this was what we created, aptly deemed the Coop Deville.

I chose a dark grey to match the trim of our Spanish style house, that was also the inspiration for the hardware.

I really do look forward to reading your blog ….however, the recent changes you have made require that I now need to have on reading glasses to see the text which is small and pale
I’m so sorry about that Janet! Let me see what I can do…
What a spectacular setup! Your chickens are very lucky, as chickens go, and hopefully they reward you accordingly.
That coop is beyond beautiful! I may move in!
Our community is having a chicken coop tour today! Isn’t that fun? Mine is not on the tour…….too shabby, un-chic~ heehee
