separated at birth.
y’all seemed to like my ‘separated at birth’ post, and i really enjoyed the challenge of matching images up, so i thought i’d take another go at it, and i think i’ll make this a somewhat regular feature here on sfgirlbybay. this time, i’m matching up beautiful interior images from lonny magazine with some super inspiring vintage ensembles*. would these people belong in these rooms? i think maybe they just might.

I love how you’ve matched the feel of each pair as well as the color – that’s what really makes this features so compelling. I could totally see each lady inhabiting her coordinating room!
seriously Victoria, you are rocking this column! beautiful pairings!
I love these posts!!! Keep it on.
Fun idea, great choices.
This feature is amazing :D
these are so great victoria – awesome job!
You are so great at this! I get excited every time you do this post! Thanks for sharing!
Such a fantastic idea. I love that you’ve so carefully matched these up, even down to the exact color.
Great post – so cleverly done!
I gave my advanced students the challenge of designing a room from an outfit – similar idea – they are doing a great job & I plan to post the results on my blog next week. I love your pairings, it really gets the imagination going, huh?
this is simply great! i can only imagine (or maybe not) how long these post take to put together…so very worth it in the end ;)
thanks so much you guys!
you have no idea how obsessed i get over these matches – i was at it for hours. way too long, probably for one post, but it was fun!
You have an amazing eye for detail! Thank you for taking the time to share it with all of us.
every pairing is dead on victoria!
Gorgeous collection of pics and combos! I love your work!
Please do make it a regular feature, it’s so fun!
WOW this is seriously perfect. Every single one. Was this a hammock written post? It’s killer.
Yay! Another Separated at Birth entry! Great combinations…again.
glad you like it! i’m going to make it regular post!
tina – sadly not a hammock-written post. it was a sofa with laptop into a late night from bed post. :)
Love It. So imaginative and fun!
Again, what a great job!!
Yes! This is so good. Lovely match-ups:)
i think these are my favorite posts of yours right now, you always AMAZE me with what you come up with…simply brilliant! seriously :)
thank you so much, you guys. i really love new challenges, and trying to share what you might not see elsewhere, given how many design blogs are out there these days. i will keep ‘em coming. :)
what a fun game!!! Let’s keep playing. Love your work!
PS can we see some fellas next – Cary Grant, Gregory Peck. Rock Hudson, Sean Connery, you get the picture ;0)
jenny – almost did that this time. you got. screen legends in the male role coming up!
You definitely have an eye for this…. I could definitely see Mary Poppins in that room.. and me! I love it. Great stuff :)
wow! i absolutely LOVE this! great eye :)
perfect! [really interesting click-thru's too!]
Gorgeous! I loveee love love this!
wonderful work my dear!
nice work V! you are great w/a challenge.
Spot on! Love it and can’t wait for more. Very inspiring.
Fabulous!
What a great idea. I love the pairing. Thanks for all the work.
Simply stunning, Victoria! How clever the concept is… you make the matches look easy, but we know what it takes– a great eye, amazing persistence at making each image “perfect” (hence the long night sitting over your laptop) and true professional know-how about design and art. It’s a post like this that make SFGB such a stand-out — unique, funny, colorful, smart. You rock! Keep ‘em coming, and definitely do a series with the guys.
thanks so much, joan! good to see you at the flea market, too! :)
LOVE this idea. You did a fantastic job of putting the ladies in their appropriate rooms.
thanks, dianne! :)
Like OMG! I had a total flashback!
love love love love love!
Great matching! Still blown away that I’m older now than Anne Bancroft was in when The Graduate was made …. eek.
Beyond Brilliant!
this series is so much fun! you have a real gift for matching up imagery like this. i love it!
Absolutely love these. So spot on. It’s a great decorating tool, imagining yourself as a starlet from your favorite era and plop yourself in your dream scene. Keep up the good work!
This is BRILLIANT! I love it. The Mary Poppins pairing really made me chuckle, it was so perfect. :)
Love this series! Goldie Hawn is my favorite.
