I Am An Unexpected (House) Guest

March 30th, 2011 · 5 Comments

Today I have the absolute pleasure of being an unexpected guest of Victoria of sfgirlbybay. I’ve always been a fan of her aesthetic and loved how honest, real and warm she comes across. She features interiors that are inspirational but real. And it’s always rooted by a genuine personal interest in the people who live there. Yes, I have a bit of a blogger crush on Victoria.

Going back a bit, we moved into our current apartment in Brooklyn a year and a half ago, and I’ve spent the past six months really pushing hard to get the space to where I wanted it. We’re super lucky to live in an inviting space that gets a ton of light, but it was still a difficult ongoing process figuring out how to arrange it to best fit our lifestyle and aesthetic. I’d love to say that it all came together effortlessly but that would be a total lie! Along the way there were many iterations of furniture layouts and art hanging.

Take a peak at the finished product below but be sure to check out more (including an interview) over at sfgirlbybay!

Victoria Smith’s West Coast Bohemian Home

September 28th, 2010 · No Comments

You may know Miss Victoria Smith as the charismatic lady behind West Coast design blog, sfgirlbybay. Well, Victoria has honed her bohemian modern style down to a T and nothing represents it better than her beautiful, artful home.

Just look at all this great art! And Victoria has done an amazing job of framing and displaying it all (which is half the battle!). She seems to have it divided into two categories or mini-collections: portraits and lighter, graphic artwork. Here’s hoping we can all learn a thing or two from sfgirlbybay..
