March preview: Sfgirlbybay

Our March issue doesn't hit newsstands until later this month, but here's a sneak peak at the home of one of my all-time salvage style heroines, Victoria Smith—the amazingly crafty and creative woman behind the highly addictive sfgirlbybay blog.
Grab a copy of our "green" themed March issue for some tips from Smith about thrifting (some of her treasures were found curbside!).
I love her work!! She has great style and a perfect eye to re-use things! Wish she would decorate/ rearrange my home!

Addictive is right! I'm new to SF but I read her blog for months before my move, keeping lists of all the great hideaways and ideas she would suggest! Kudos to Sunset for highlighting her work and home-- and kudos to Victoria for sharing with us!

I love that the article mentions www.etsy.com It's a great site, you can shop "green" by using the geolocator, order locally! Better yet, you're supporting the handcrafts world....whose many materials can be "green" such as handspun wools and more.
