More From the Bachman's Fall Ideas House 2011...


Today I'm going to share the office and bedrooms from the Bachman's Fall Ideas House!  You can check out my earlier posts, if you are just getting started, and you can also click on the link in my labels at the end of the post to see posts from past houses!  The office/family room space is one of my favorites!  The workspace above is a tabletop on old wooden beehives. and vintage ballot boxes serve as storage...


Look at this decorative wall of clipboards...


and bicycle wheels hold cards and photos!


Herb drying racks are used as newspaper/magazine holders.


In the master bedroom, a fence gate is used as a headboard...


and a cabinet is handcrafted from scrap wood...


The teenage girl's bedroom has a modern, trendy feel!  How about using magazines as wall art?
 

A decorative fabric shower curtain serves as a headboard...


and some old metal building trim is used as a valance!


Vintage suitcases work as decorative storage...


as do great looking shadowboxes!


Another of my favorite spaces is the pre-school boy's room!  Lots of graphic elements come into play here!  Love the wall of letters!


Vintage flashcards are used in shelves...


and drawer fronts!  The toy wood block handles are fun, too!


A lamp with a stacked book base is very decorative...and the yarn wrapped lampshade is simple and colorful!


The valance in this room is denim with pants pockets!
 

I love these vintage scooter shelves...


and the fun salvage furniture!


But how many people have an old store checkout light turned into a fun lamp in their room?  And the toy storage buckets, with license plate letters, are so fun!


Next time I'll wrap it up with all of the fun seasonal outdoor decorating...especially the shed (haunted house)!

Until next time...
Linda

  3. Hi Linda,
    Thank you for taking us on this amazing excursion!!! I love that house and all the ideas.

    I have to tell you something funny...Last year when I was on your blog and we had just met, I thought it was YOUR house!

    I think I'll post it on my blog and tell people I live there! LOL

    Thank you so much for your sweet note--I am so exhausted that I thought it had already been a week and it's only been 3 days since the surgery!!! Hard to believe, but true.

  9. I still have never made it there. I wish they carried more of that stuff in their store. I love the boy's room. I was just at Bachmans yesterday and they are getting rid of sooo much of the vintage items, opting instead for gifty things. Makes me sad, that was my favorite part.

  15. Linda, I love all your pictures from the Bachmann house. Mine didn't turn out very well, especially the inside ones. I think my batter was going dead.
    Anyway it is fun seeing it through your eyes.

  27. Thanks Linda. It is such a great experience to tour this house with you. I have to say, my fav is the teen room. It's usually not my style, but somehow they hit all the right notes. Ann
