A reader alerted me to this gorgeous home and asked if I wanted to feature it. “Of course!” I said. I know you are going to love this amazing home tour!! This gorgeous home belongs to Breanna Pierce of The French Hens. (I’ll include a link at the end.) It is located within Palatka, Florida’s south historic district and was purchased in 2010. The home was built between 1892 and 1897.
Just look at this charming lavender bedroom fit for a queen or princess.
The facade of the house is so charming!
It is so full of charm and so many gorgeous details. I love that sign.
The floors are amazing. The galley style kitchen has a tongue and groove ceiling, and subway tile.
Just look at this backyard and the table! Would you ever want to leave?
I love how the dining room is open to the lving room. It really makes the house feel so much bigger. The neutrals really give a peaceful calm feeling to the room.
A skirted cabinet is a lovely touch and a great alternative to cabinet doors.
The shell lighting over the dining table is custom made by the owner’s brother. All window treatments and pillows are custom made by the owner’s mother. Note the simple bench on one side of the table gives the dining area a more open feel.
I love the artwork above the fireplace. Because each piece is so simple, it does not look too busy. This is a great use of the space. The furniture is just the right size. the neutral colors bring it all together.
The rustic style lighting in the master bedroom is custom made by owner’s brother. This is one talented family! Look at that gorgeous vaulted ceiling.
It is a gorgeous home and so well done! Here is a little bit more information about the house.
all the creative touches in this home are amazing. The dining room chandelier adds just the right touch of fun to the more formal elements of the space.

Sorry to hear that you’re not feeling well! Hope you get better soon. I hate stomach bugs!!! Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful home. I love the feminine qualities of it and the symmetry used everywhere. It’s beautiful without being overdone. I love the floors! The backyard is to die for too. Wish this lady had a blog so we could see more!
Anita, what a charming little house! The bedroom is especially lovely with the way the dark wood of the bed frame contrasts with the white walls and ceiling. Love the tongue and groove ceiling and the floors- very pretty!

Beautiful home , love this area and the last time I visited , I wanted to live there. I do like the bedroom and would love to do something like that with a room for my grand daughter, so sweet and the color is one of my favorites.
My husband is leaving in two weeks to visit friends in Palatka on the St. Johns and the area is just charming.
Thank you for the tour
betsy

I remember when that house was for sale. She has done wonders with it. I lived in Palatka from 2003 until just recently. In fact, my Palatka house is for sale now! Wish more people had her vision.
Sorry to hear you are under the weather! Feel better soon. LOVE your blog!
The openness of the layout, and the scale of the furnishings, make the home appear much larger. Every detail of design comes together in a serene and welcoming home.
Thank you for sharing, Anita!
Simply sweet! Very charming home. I adore it!
Breanna’s beautiful house was on the home tour last year, which we have every year in Palatka. It is amazing what she and her family have done with this house. To bad we don’t have the before pictures. We have some very lovely homes in Palatka. My husband and I moved here just for an old house! Our home was built in 1927; so it isn’t near as old as Breanna’s but we love it anyway.
How beautiful. Every room a treat to the eye. not far from where I live.
This cottage is precious and so charming. Would you tell me where you bought the white cane chairs by the fireplace?
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL,THANKS
I had the pleasure of touring this home in fall. It was incredible! The owner had hosted a bridal shower the evening before, with little bit set out from the party it was a delight! Not shown is a graceful tree swing, which my little ones shared with each other joyfully.
Where is the link to Breanna’s blog?
I don’t think she has one.
