Fall 12 Ideas House

  {this is not my house}

Are you ready for another tour of the Bachman's Ideas House? If you'd like, you can visit some from the past: Spring 10, Summer 10, Holiday 10, Spring 11, Summer 11, Holiday 11, and Spring 12.

I had never been to a Fall one yet, so you are in for a real treat today! If you have ever been to the Bachman's Ideas House in the past or seen some of my blog posts that offer photo tours, you know there are 4 rooms upstairs. They've featured those rooms decorated as: Master bedroom, girls bedroom, boys bedroom, then the 4th room is a craft, office, or media room. Well this time they had a nursery and a dog room which is so clever wait until you see that!

This house was built in the early 1920's and for Fall 2012 it was decorated with a a palette of muted fall colors, layering on bright and bold graphic accents for a young and trendy home that is focused on celebrating the season with friends and family. Nearly every item is priced for sale.... enjoy the photo tour...
