live, and let living room.
via emma’s design blog.
i think we all spend a lot of time in our living rooms, curled up on our couches, reading, or surfing the net, or entertaining our friends. or, heaven forbid, as you may have done yesterday, eating cheetos and watching that football game. so i wanted to share some inspiring and very eclectic living areas with you today i found via scouring the wonder of the world wide web. from stockholm to manhattan, without further adieu, here we go. cozy up and get comfy and take a look at the places we like to live.

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!
