Hey everyone! Kirsten from SimplyGrove here. I am thrilled to be here on sfgirlbybay! What an honor to be on such a fabulous blog. Victoria has a great thing going here and I hope that we are reading sfgirlbybay for years and years to come!

I recently sold my sofa which has been in my possession for 9 years.  9 years too many. It was a comfortable couch but it lacked in the looker department. I am now on the hunt for a vintage sofa. It’s a hard hunt to be on where I am from, but I am confident that I will find something soon. Here are a few sofas that inspire me to look for exactly what I want.

Dottie Angel’s sofa (above) looks both comfy and retro. That is a great combination and mixes well with straight lines and curvy lines.

This next sofa seen on Design* Sponge (above), is really up my alley.  The tufts are great and the golden pumpkin color is so unexpected and very vintage. Oh how I hope to find something similar!

Daniel Hertzell photographed this sofa (above). I love the wooden arms and the two toned green.

If you are on a budget and want something new, Urban Outfitters always has great retro inspired pieces. This night and day convertible sofa (above) in Toffee is a good alternative to buying something retro.

Even though this is not a full sofa, I found this settee (above) at a local thrift store for $45. So not only is going vintage cool in style, but it is also cool on your wallet.

Pray for my sofa journey that it goes well and that I will be able to find something before the holidays!
