guest post: simply grove.
one of my favorite bloggers, kirsten, from simply grove is sharing some simply sumptuous bedrooms with you today!
Hey all of you amazing sfgirlbybay readers. You must have extremely great taste because you read this delightfully wonderful and amazing blog! I hope that I can cure some of your interior hunger pains today.

My all time favorite space to decorate has to be the bedroom. With all of the headboard ideas, dresser designs and soothing wall colors, bedroom design is endless. A bedroom does not need to become a person’s personal storage room. Sometimes we put our bedroom last on the priority list to design and complete but I think it should be the opposite.

Because we spend so much time sleeping, getting ready or just resting with a good book, we should be doing all of it in a environment that is aesthetically pleasing and calming for us. How can I relax when there is a chair with a mile high pile of dirty clothes? What makes me want to wind down from a long day looking at a storage bin full of random stuff?
Our bedrooms should be a reflection of our style and who we are. They should be clean, cozy and beautiful. Not dirty, cold and ugly. Are you tired of my lecture yet?? AND you dont need to spend alot or go extreme with your design. The images shown here prove that a modern, clean, stylish space is just what the doctor may order for the perfect bedroom. (Do you notice a common theme in all of these images?? The first to guess correctly will receive a….long distance pat on the back!!!)

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!
