Bachman's is a floral, gift, garden and landscaping store. It's a family business that has been in business since 1885. Today, it has grown to be one of the largest floral and nursery operations in the world.
I haven't been there in years. The place is huge. I was surprised to find a restaurant in the middle of it with tables set up in the green house. The place was packed. It's definitely a place I'm going to go have lunch at sometime soon.
The ideas house was built in the 1920's and is where Mr. Bachman and his family lived. Designers paint, furnish and decorate the house each season.
The house is full of great ideas for things to make, ways to decorate, interesting ways to add plant life, etc. Each room has a theme, with a nice mix of new, repurposed and vintage pieces.
Most every item in the house is priced for sale too. So, if you love it, you can buy it.
Here are some photo's. I'll show you what inspired me.
I like the way they have decorated the entrance of this shed. The art is hanging on small shovels with rope.
Here is the back of the shed, I love the flowers.
On the outside of the shed they decorated the windows with burlap and vines, then a plank to hold an assortment of garden boots with flowers.
A treasure chest with hand-painted word art.
These ideas were all from the outside of the house. Tomorrow come on back, and I'll take you on the tour of the main floor of the house for some more inspiration.
If you want to check out the house yourself, you'll have to act fast. It closes this weekend.
Thanks for checking in,
Virginia
