Enjoying home ... for the holidays!
30 November 2010
Well ... I truly wish this was MY house ... but it's not ... it's the Bachman's Holiday Ideas House ... but I wish it was mine. I said that already, didn't I. That's cuz it's true. If you live in the Twin Cities, this place is the best five buck entertainment you'll find anywhere this season!
The Holiday House was as exciting as the Fall House. One great idea after another. Don't they ever run out of them? Apparently not.
It's all in the details. Spools of string ... how easy is this? I bet you could spell anything out if you had enough of them. I betchya I have a few laying around. Hmmmm ...
Finally ... an idea for all of the insulators that Bob insists on buying.
See this Bob? Another idea. Think he's reading? Probably hiding.
Who doesn't have tea strainers in their stash? And I loved how they heaped apples or ornaments at the base of their plants throughout the house. Every inch is decorated.
The cool thing about the porch is that there are windows on all three sides. It gave them opportunities to hang wreaths or ornaments ... if you didn't feel welcomed while you walked around outside, you did the second you stepped into the porch.
Even the ceiling was decorated. Oh ... and the smell! Imagine a forest of evergreens mixed with spices ... it's stuck in my head. Delightful!!
But back outside ... I know so many of you think we're all crazy for living in Minnesota but just to show you we make the best of things ... you should know that all of us have a brick fireplace in our backyards. Standard. Ok fine. That's not true ... but what is true is there are so many more things to see at the Bachman's house that I know you'll keep coming back until I've exhausted my entire picture file!
