“Everything but the kitchen sink” describes what Mother Nature threw our way this past winter here in Minnesota, wouldn’t you agree? Luckily we have the Bachman’s Spring Ideas House where we are guaranteed a much welcomed dose of spring greenery and cheerful colors.
Each season (Spring, Fall and Winter) the Inspiration and Innovation Team at Bachman’s turns the family homestead into a seasonal Ideas House – a place to showcase new products, vintage, repurposed and everything floral.
Spring in Bloom is the theme for 2019
Top Key Trends showcased in the home for 2019:
- Fresh spring colors provide seasonal layers to grays and other neutral tones.
- Bees, butterflies, and bunnies find artistic form as decorative accents and wall art.
- Modern Elements and geometric shapes contrast with galvanized metals and antique woods.









There’s still time to tour the Bachman’s farmstead and gather inspiration for your own home or just reinvigorate your soul with springtime floral and fauna.
