hello sacramento street readers! i’m victoria smith of sfgirlbybay, and i’m very happy to filling in for caitlin whilst she’s off get married and enjoying her honeymoon! today, i like to offer you some eclectic design inspiration and ideas, that also encourage individuality and unique, personal style, because let’s face it, your home should be a direct reflection of you.
i hope my home does that, and i am constantly changing it up to suit my moods and changing tastes, but no matter what this room looks like, i usually find myself drawn to hanging out in my living room. the bay windows bring in an amazing abundance of light and lovely views of the city’s victorian landscape. and, i quite like cozying up and reading or blogging on my laptop with a warm fire going in the unusual copper-faced fireplace.
i keep my decor palette and main furnishings white, and then as the seasons, or my tastes change, i find the white easily interchangeable with accessories, pillows, throws, and artwork in any color scheme that’s currently grabbing my attention. i mix up basic white pieces with mid-century modern, vintage, and a bit of what i like to call ‘industrial chic’ pieces in metal and natural woods – mostly scoured from the flea market. and while the white sofa may not seem practical, it is slip-covered (from room & board), so when it soils, i just toss the slip covers in the wash and they come out like new. thanks for allowing me to share one of my favorites spaces with you today! i hope you’ve found some fresh ideas.
cheers!
Hi Victoria, good to also see you on Caitlin's blog. Great "really you" room and of course we don't have to mention the photography
Have a lovely day!
Your living room is gorgeous! Seriously thought it was an image from a home decor magazine. Very impressive and the light that is streaming in constantly sounds like a dream. Loving the hydrangeas – my favorite. Thanks for sharing. I'll be stopping by your blog next. Have a great day. =)
