so, last week, i held an impromptu survey on what y’all like, and don’t like about sfgirlbybay. i took what you had to say to heart, and will be implementing a ton of your thoughts on what you’d like to see more of around here, and saying farewell to what maybe you just aren’t loving.
one of the things that touched me, is that many of you said you initially tuned into sfgirlbybay to see the decorating i was doing around my own house, and my personal shots of home, and around the city. i used to share much more of that, and honestly thought you might be a bit bored by it. apparently not — so thanks! it’s fun for me, so today, i thought i’d share a few peeks at the place i call home. i hope you like it.
Love love love…your home is so beautiful and i love that you showed all those little details that truly make a home. Thank you for sharing! xo
I love every one of them! Thank you so much for sharing!
Just stunning. I love how your home has lots of interesting things going on but seems to remain beautifully calm. Thank you for sharing. x
beautiful. digging all your moodboards… I like that look.
Best,
Anna
So many fun things to look at and enjoy! Thanks for sharing! Looks like Lucy also feels totally at home there!

Yay! That’s what we love to see – lovely shots, every one! It’s not only your place, but your eye looking and framing your place that makes these peeks soooo good! Thank you!

Thanks for so many inspirations on one beautiful page.
If you don’t mind me asking…what kind of camera do you use???? I am in desperate need of a new one and you take incredible pictures!!!
Yay! I do love seeing your home, Victoria! What fun, I love all of your little piles of jewelry and photos tacked to a board, and oh my I don’t think I could ever get enough of that dark wall, it’s just luscious! xo Laura
Lovely!
I’m sorry, I didn’t do the survey, but I like what others have said – I too, love to see your home, and how your warm personality infuses your living space, and the blog. I also loved the images you posted from your Sunday in the city.

Your home is beautiful. Looking forward to seeing more! :)
ooooh thank you! all so delicious and just what I ordered! Much appreciated!
Hooray! I initially started reading your site right before my move up to SF (over three years now). I saw your survey on twitter after not reading the blog as regularly. Coming back to the blog today though, I just absolutely love how your voice just seemed to come pouring back in these last couple of posts. There’s a simple elegance to the images and posts that hooked me onto your blog initially.
Looks so charming. Lived in. I adore it!
May I ask who that faceless painting in image “10h” is by? It’s so lovely.
julie – that is by kiki & polly – one of my favorite artists:

Thank you for sharing so much of your life with us. I am enlightened & inspired everyday.

I love this. Do you mind sharing the name of that cactus?
rita – thank you! i’m sorry but i have no idea. it’s fairly common, though!
