    What a Fabulous morning I had, devouring this entire post and the pictures! Twice, I would like you to know. It was an incredibly endless display of Christmas and all it’s minutia which is contributed from everywhere throughout the world. The settings were like movie props from every Christmas special I have ever seen. It filled a large hole that has been eaten into my soul from this past year or so. I think I can take a deep breath and hope for all of us now. Thank you for one of this best things I have found online this year. Wonderful!

    Thanks so much for giving me a glimpse of Bachman’s this year. We usually come back to MN from ID for Christmas and seeing the Holiday Idea House is a highlight. Even though we won’t be making the trip this year, your photos definitely helped bring on the holiday spirit!

      Glad you enjoyed it, Susan! Yes, we’re missing out on so many things this year; at least we can enjoy some of the Holiday spirit virtually!

    It’s all what our imagination can come up with and their designers did a great job. Great ideas and some I’m going to copy in my own home, like the bulbs hanging from the ceiling. Such a simple idea and yet makes for a striking entrance.

    1. Lora Bloomquist says:

      Yes, definitely a glamorous look! Glad you got some good ideas!

  6. I wish we had a Bachman’s around here. At least I got lots of beautiful inspiration. The gnomes were cracking me up! I’ll leave those for someone else. LOL.
