Wacky, Weird & Wonderfully Enchanting

Hermann Grain Bins Bed and Breakfast and Retreat Center is the marriage of my passions of cooking, planning parties, having friends and family over at my home and my life on the family farm!

So, to create my dream, I took the look of the farm for the exterior design by using two large 30-foot traditional new farm grain bins, a red and white barn, and gave it the FUNKY look and bright colors I love in the design twist in the interior design. This project and dream make my heart sing and bring a smile to my face. The exterior of the Hermann Grain Bins Bed and Breakfast and Retreat Center may for all practical purposes look like a farm scene, but when you open the doors, you will see the inside of me laughing and giggling as I add something here and something there to add color and fun inside for myself and my guests. Even the front door is a one-of-a-kind design, a hand-carved pirate’s ship in solid wood. It’s a massive door that lets you enter the world of enchantment and mystical creation at the Bins

The bright colors, weird shapes, odd artwork, things that don’t match but have a rhyme and rhythm of their very own, and all that I can find on my many treasure hunts (I am a huge fan of resale shopping) can be found in the interior and the HEART of the BINS. Take the best of the world of bohemian design, maybe some hippie flare and throw in eclectic and you have my style and passion for WEIRD. I am so very proud of my WEIRD and carry it ferociously inside the BINS. It took me a long time, most of my life, to embrace my WEIRD. I broke out of the belief of relatives that everything has to be matchy, matchy a long time ago. You will witness this upon opening the door.

So enjoy the wacky, weird and wonderful creativity and imagine what you too can do in your life to live your life, blossom your passions into an adventure above and beyond what you always thought was holding you back. ENJOY your stay at the BINS!

Enjoy and let your “weirdness” show while you enjoy and relax at Hermann Grain Bins Bed and Breakfast and Retreat Center.

Hugs and Peace forever, Donna
