The Bachman's 2012 Spring Ideas House Part 2...


Ready for part two from the 2012 Bachman's Spring Ideas House?  First of all, a BIG thank you for all the nice comments you left on part one...I really appreciate your thoughts!  This post I'll share ideas from the living room, sunroom, stairway and bathroom!
Remember the dough bowl wall in the dining room?  Well, how about a dough bowl dog bed?


This great looking wall piece is made from vintage ceiling tin decorated with ceiling medallions that have mirrors attached!  Love the way the medallions look!

 




I love the idea of connecting frames...


The sunroom is set up for dining...


Wouldn't it be fun to have a old church pew bench for table seating?
 

Vintage dairy crates hold colorful vases...


In the stairway,  birch branches are framed and photo canvas added for more natural elements...


and bundled birch branches hold rustic vases...


Finally, a few ideas from the bathrooms...


Keys embellish the shower curtain rings...


LOVE this toilet paper storage...




Bottles filled with colored water decorate the window.


The main floor bathroom window has a table runner valance with an iron grate...


and I love how they re-purposed this old drawer!


Next time, I'll finish up with the bedrooms and den!  Remember, you can visit HERE to see posts from all of the previous Ideas House tours!

Until next time...enjoy the weekend!

  10. I always look forward to your Bachman house posts...they are chock full of good ideas! I too love the picture frames all connected...too fun! :)
    I can't wait to get window seat finished...I'm worn out! lol We were gone most of this last week to district council for our church. It was fun, but it's always nice to come back home. :) I have projects out the ears to get back to!

  11. Lovely lovely lovely

    I think my favourite thing again (though it's so hard to choose) is another shelf.... I love how they made the loo roll holder! (Do you say 'loo roll' in America I wonder?!)

    I'd never think to use an ordinary key as a shower curtain embellishment..... but it looks great!

    I love the Bachman house and your tours.... it does make you look at things in new ways....

    Thank you :)

  15. Linda, again thanks for the great look. I love the bottles hanging from the light in the sunroom - click - an idea! AND the branch valance in the first bathroom. My two favorites this time. Ann

  19. That dog bed is so cute. Doubt they make one large enough my the labradoddle though. I really like the greenery on the curtain rod in the bathroom. And the toilet paper holder jar. Great ideas all around that house.

  22. Wonderful ideas. I wish we had something like this around here. Love the tin ceiling tiles and medallions as art. The birch branches are so much fun and the curtain rod with greenery on top is so clever too.
