Get ready for some major Holiday inspiration!  It is time once again for Bachman's Idea House! I think by now you know the drill with the Idea House but just in case: Bachman's is a Floral and Gift Garden here in Minneapolis, and their Idea House was their original founder's house built in the 1920's. The company now uses the house for their seasonal Idea House creating entirely new rooms for each of the four seasons. Everything about each room is different for each season's idea house, right down to the paint on the walls. When you enter the house you get a brochure that lists all the details for each room including the paint color and 'ideas'. Everything in each room is for sale! We'll start in the Sunroom this time, I will list all the Ideas at the end of each room. Get your Pin It ready, here we go!
