Long
before I discovered blogs or there were sites like Pinterest, I kept files
filled with my favorite design magazine pictures. (In fact, I still do today.) You can imagine my delight when I found that
the owner of one of my all-time favorite houses had started a blog!
So
today I am thrilled to be featuring the designer behind this house, Loi Thai,
and his blog, Tone on Tone, as the RDH June blog of the month.

The pictures above show the house that I and many others fell in
love with. (You might recognize many of these photos as they are quite popular
in the blog world.) Shortly after this story
was published, Loi and his partner Thomas
Troeschel purchased and renovated another home located not too far from
their original property.
As you can guess it is just as wonderful and beautifully
decorated.
One of the things you will notice is much of the furniture from
the first house was also used in the new house.
The gardens surrounding the home are also designed with care and
attention to detail - two of the aspects which make Loi’s work so special.
Besides Tone on Tone, the blog, Loi and Thomas are also owners
of a shop near Washington, DC by the same name.
Tone on Tone specializes in 18th and 19th century painted Swedish antiques –
the very furniture which they use in their own home.
The shop also carries a large collection of creamware, white ironstone, and
garden furnishings and ornaments rich with patina.
Loi
began his blog a mere three months ago and it already has become a favorite of
mine. (I know you will love it
too!)
I
have enjoyed seeing his latest design projects and tours of his favorite gardens.
He
also has a Pinterest account filled with more even more amazing photos.
I
hope you will stop by Tone on Tone and leave a comment letting Loi know you
visited. He is so kind and gracious and
will be so appreciative!
Loi is a dear friend and so deserving. His home and his shop are so beautiful! Thanks for spreading the love!
