spring 11 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 last year: spring 10, summer 10, & holiday 10

this house was built in the early 1920's & for spring 11 it was decorated with a European Romance theme, many of the one-of-a-kind items were for sale (it is highly recommended that you visit the first day if you'd like to purchase any of the one-of-a-kind items, as once they're sold, they're sold)... enjoy the tour...

first of all in the above photo, the house numbers were made with decorative plates with stenciled numbers

 on the front porch, lovely pastel colored glass bottles turned into a hanging ceiling fixture

 in the living room, stained-glass window turned into coffee table, book pages as wallpaper

 in the sunroom, vintage wall sinks repurposed into planters
