The Fall 2016 Bachman's Ideas House Tour...

It's time for a visit to the Fall 2016 Bachman's Ideas House! I always love seeing all of the fall decor and ideas! If this is your first time with a Bachman's House tour...Bachman's is a long time home and garden business with several locations in Minnesota. Three times a year, their designers transform what was a 1920's era family home on their flagship property, into a seasonal ideas house to highlight their new product and trends. They add repurposed pieces and a little vintage, too...and everything in the house is for sale (picked up at the end of the event).

I have a link just under my header that leads to

posts from all the previous Ideas Houses...

lots of inspiration there!

So, grab a cup of coffee (or whatever) and let's get going!

We'll start with the front porch!

I'll let the photos do most of the talking...

I love all of the fall colors!

Let's head inside to the living room and sunroom...

On to the dining room and kitchen...

Did you see something to inspire you?

My favorite part of this section of the house

was the addition of aqua and copper colors!

Next post we'll head upstairs...

some of my favorite spaces in this Ideas House!

Thanks for coming along on the tour!

Until next time...

Thank you for sharing--always so fun. I love the barrel with the dried fall colors in it and the ladder display shelf on the table.

Linda, I am so glad you share this with us. I like seeing all the clever ideas and color combinations. I would love to have a closed in porch. Hope you are enjoying nice weather there. It's less humidity here and it is so pleasant. Blessings, xoxo, Susie

That time of year again :) Thank you so much for sharing.

Isn't that squirrel so cute! I'm so glad that I'm reading this post on the first day of Autumn (according to Google!) - it just seems so appropriate. I love all those Halloweeny colours.

All very Hygge ;) !

Thanks so much for the tour, Linda! I've never seen any of your previous tours so this was a treat. Everything looks so festive, I love seeing fall leaf and floral arrangements. I had to laugh, the copper in the kitchen really had me loving this home just like you!

Hope you are well on your way to sprucing up your home for this sweet season!

I love these tours. Lots of neat details at every turn. I loved the butcher block island and stools too. Great for a smaller kitchen.

Really lovely! Inspired me to want to decorate for Fall. Finally picked up some pumpkins today, just need some potted mums.
