it’s beginning to look a lot like home around here. after many weeks of purging and packing up 1,000 square feet to move it all about 10 blocks away, into about 600 square feet, we’re finally making some real progress. i like it here. a lot. it’s peaceful and quiet and though it’s tiny and old, i’m trying to make it into a modern cottage. i look forward to sharing more soon. in the meantime, here’s a sneak peek. oh, and many, many thanks to all the guest bloggers who stepped in the last two weeks to help me get moved!

i hope you all have a wonderful long holiday weekend — happy thanksgiving! and i’ll see you all back here on monday.

meet my latest sponsor, mid century modern finds. they’re super nice and offering sfgirlbybay readers a 15% discount right off that bat (offer valid through January 31st, 2011). see, i told you…nice, huh?  just check out some of their amazing mid century modern finds! Carlos & Christine Villalta love the hunt, and the green aspect of reusing what’s already here, making old or forgotten items beautiful again, and offering MCM pieces at affordable prices.  they enjoy being surrounded by the history, craftsmanship, simplicity, and beauty of Mid-Century design, and connecting with other people that feel the same way.

carlos & christine started out buying Mid-Century Modern furniture and accessories for their own home, which got pretty full, but they continued to find great pieces, and unable to pass them up, decided to continue their passion in seeking out unique pieces by passing them on to other people who also love this era, selling online, and showing by appointment at their san francisco storage unit. they also ship all over the world, offering shipping quotes for their clients.

starting up mid century modern finds just seemed like the most logical way and most convenient way for the two to share their inventory (updated every 7-10 days, sometimes more often), and also the best way to use their time without being tied up in a shop.  if you’ve been hunting for something special, and been unable to find it, mid century modern finds will take on a special searches — they can’t guarantee they’ll find something totally specific, but are happy to keep your requests in mind.
