Stunning Historic Homes Nestled in Ferndale, California

Happy Wednesday, friends! It’s time to head back (virtually) to historic Ferndale to see more of the town’s stunning historic homes. The first time I posted about our trip to Humboldt County, I shared a collection of the Victorian cottages. Today it’s time to see some of the other beautiful homes that grace the streets of the quaint town.

This stately home is sure to steal your breath away if you love the charm of older houses. It’s in great condition and is painted in great detail. Although it’d be a lot of work, I’d love to paint a home like this. When I was in college I painted houses for my dad’s decorating company during the summer months. I was always given the detail work, so it felt more like an art than manual labor.

Here’s another charmer that would be fun to paint. Like the house above, it has its share of detailed trim work. Ferndale needs to host home tours so people like me can see the inside of these historic homes.

What do you think of the color on this home? It’s not a hue you typically see on a painted lady, but I like it. The wrought iron fence adds to its appeal.

Pastel colors grace the exterior of this pretty home. Love the pink door!

You can book a room in this beauty – the Gingerbread Mansion. This inn is located on a side street, so it enjoys quiet surroundings. Not that Ferndale is busy and noisy, though. It’s a great place to visit if you’ve never been there.

This yellow beauty caught my eye when we turned the corner of the block. Its bright yellow hue stands out against the blue sky and everything is neatly encompassed with a white picket fence.

A trio of wooden birdhouses create garden art at the very front of the yard.

Further down the street is a collection of rustic birdhouses.

The flowers, gardens, and beautiful trees inspired me to come back and work on my own gardens. Although I now think I have an addiction to buying flowers for the yard. I can’t seem to stop myself. Oh well, I guess that’s a healthy habit, right?

I’ve still got more of Ferndale to share – the downtown area with its impressive Victorian storefronts, along with gorgeous views of the Lost Coast which is just minutes away from town. Stay tuned!
