Victoria at SFGirlByBay:

• Furniture: Room & Board (for basics like sofas, chairs) or Velocity Art & Design (for classic, post-modern reproductions)
• Lighting: Design Public
• Textiles: Purl Soho
• Papergoods: For office goods I quite like See Jane Work; or Muji which I first visited in London and became addicted to their simple, 'non-brand name' environmentally-friendly products
• Wallpaper: I'm in love with Orla Kiely's wallpaper patterns!
• Gifts: I love the beautiful, unique accessories Rose & Radish carries; and I also love Anthropologie for their fun, girly kitchen and home wares
• Ceramics: I love Diana Fayt's work and she has a new shop on etsy. I also love Rae Dunn's work, which can be found on Mason Reve (Rae is opening an etsy shop soon!)
• Garden: I usually shop my local nursery or the SF Flower Mart, but Uncommon Goods has fun garden accessories
• Vintage Finds: I have to say craigslist is my best resource. I like ebay, but shopping online and then being able to actually see the piece in person before you buy adds a more secure comfort level. For more of a European vintage look I like Paris Hotel Boutique
• Artwork: Etsy is amazing for prints, and for fine art collecting i also love The Beholder - she has a great collection of artists like Katja Ollendorf, Juliette Borda, and Catherine Ledner
• Hidden Gem Online: Park Life - it's a new SF shop with great art books, paper goods, unusual gifts and accessories. It's also a gallery and has online exhibits as well as gallery openings from time to time. I'm also a huge fan of The Sartoriaist - unique fashion style inspires me all the time.

Phoebe at Silk Felt Soil:

• Furniture: The best concept for a furniture shop I know is Unto This Last, a London shop that designs furniture that flat-packs. Prices are reasonable, and the colors and designs are beautiful. We need an outpost on this side of the Atlantic!
• Lighting: my favorite DIY lighting trick is to snip off a paper parasol at the base and attach it with a piece of wire to a ceiling fixture. Asian Ideas has a great range
• Textiles: I covet the summer blankets from Swans Island Blankets
• Papergoods: Black Pearl Press- Elisabeth's work is gorgeous, versatile, and she is white-hot quick with special orders!
• Wallpaper: Walnut Wallpaper sorts by color, which I love! And I like Charles Rupert for super traditional reproductions, though it does take a little patience to find some good ones. (eg, I want a wall of William Morris's "Fruit"
• Gifts: I am a huge fan of Greener Grass Design- they have a huge range of beautiful items, and most of them are very reasonably priced
• Ceramics: Dovetail - i love their "neighborhood" line and Hi and Lo Modern for vintage pieces
• Garden: my secret resource is Historic Trees for gifts for people with a little plot of land
• Vintage Finds: Ebay or Craigslist
• Artwork: Etsy! or Gemini G. E. L.
• Hidden Gem Online: Little Flower Candy Co. (for sea salt caramels!)

Maria of Port2Port:
