Well, I finally made it up to visit the Bachman's 2016 Holiday Ideas House...and with two days to spare!
A big thank you to my husband for his help!
Today I'm happy to share some photos from our visit!
If it's your first time seeing an Ideas House tour, Bachman's is a long standing home, floral, and garden business with several branches in the Twin Cities area of Minnesota. Three times a year they hold an Ideas House in what was a 1920's era Bachman's family home on the flagship property in Minneapolis. Their designers transform the house seasonally to showcase new trends, some vintage, and repurposed items...and nearly everything is for sale in the house, or the retail stores. $1 from each $5 ticket from this house goes to Children's Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota. So let's get started in the front porch...
the theme for this house is "Winter's Frost & Glow"...
The living room looks like a cozy winter retreat...
I love the wonderfall wallpaper from Hirshfield's in the sunroom...
The dining room was cozy with metallic accents...
I always love the bright and cheery kitchen...
A garden arbor can be used as a pot rack...
Hope you enjoyed this section of the tour! Next time we'll finish up with some of the upstairs and the fun outdoors area!
You can visit the rest of the tour HERE !
Until next time...
I wanna go! I wanna go! I wanna go! Amazing photos. There is so much to see and see and see. That cute little snowman sign jumped right out at me. So cute! Happy Christmas week- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteI was so happy to see the title of your post, and I couldn't wait to open it. I love their style, and the home is always so wonderfully warm and cozy. Thanks for all your pics and for giving us a chance to visit with you, Sandi and MERRY CHRISTMAS!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute tour!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing another beautiful home tour. Love the repurposed galvanized tub light fixture....love it all!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you finally got a chance to see the Christmas tour, Linda! Their greenery arrangements are always amazing, both indoors and out. And the sweet little vintage deer used as a place card at the table is adorable! So many good ideas here. Thanks so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThe plaid deer, the giant wood ornament, the pie stands, and the poinsettias in the birch logs, all my fav.
ReplyDeleteThat chandelier in the kitchen is gorgeous!!! You're making me want to go out and get some more greenery and berries so I can transform my boring old light into a Christmas masterpiece. They did a beautiful job this year!
ReplyDeleteAlways a treat to see the Bachman holiday house. Love all the plaid and the wall with frames and winter photos was really eye catching. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteThank you, that sun porch is so much fun, love the light fixture!
ReplyDeleteAs always, so inspiring to see what they come up with! Thanks for sharing with us.

Thank you so much for again sharing this wonderful home tour. I imagine there are a lot of people there - how is it you always are able to snap a photo without them in it? LOL
ReplyDeleteThank you, Gayle! People are pretty good about letting you take photos...but this day, it was in the afternoon with a snowstorm outside...and hardly anyone was there!
DeleteThis always makes it feel even more like Christmas, Linda. Your Bachman house posts are much anticipated at any time of year ... but especially now.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you share these tours. There are always fun ideas! Minimalists just don't get it!
ReplyDeleteLinda, I love the tours of the Bachman House. There are so many ideas there! Thank you. Wishing you and yours a very merry and blessed Christmas!

So fun and beautiful. I look forward to this each year. Thanks LInda for taking us on the tour with you. Love the tree it is so pretty and that college of frames over the couch Oh I want that! Beautiful.

I HAVE to know...how do you do the layered frames over the couch? Was this a piece you picked up or did you layer them yourself? Absolutely fantastic!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Laura! This is a piece made by the designers at the Bachman's Ideas House. You can try using their "contact us" button at www.bachmans.com
DeleteThey may be able to help you with specifics!
A tour would be great, but I want to live there! Absolutely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI pinned this and plan to do something like it over our bed. How did you attach the smaller frames to the base frame?
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Would love to know the paint color in the living room! Please and thank you!!
ReplyDeleteHi Tracy! The paint is from a local paint company...Hirshfield's. The paint color is 0233 Deep Marsh and the accent color is 0240 Spiced Rum. Their website is at https://www.hirshfields.com/
