He must know by now I adore his aesthetic and blog
since I never miss an installment of Loi's
T o n e o n T o n e...
a truly charming and joyful place
on the blog map.
painted Swedish furniture, the Maryland-based
shop Tone on Tone offers the most glorious
finds to their lucky loyal following.

Are we charmed yet?
Tone on Tone is more than a a good read...
it's a feast for the senses, and I do love me a feast!
Someday I will visit the shop and see Thomas
and Loi's treasures in person.
The styling and photography take my breath away.
I am certain my famous cinnamon bread would
taste better in their kitchen...oui?
Thank you for flooding blogland with lovely, Loi.
I want to live inside your gorgeous photos.
I must be Swedish, don't you think?
Your presence, sense of style,
and generous spirit are
never lost on me so...
thank you for a truly
beautiful

ReplyDeletethat is exactly how i feel. it's heavenly and feels safe.
4 days and i'm a bundle of nerves.
suddenly i just know my clothes will be all wrong.
that i will fumble too much with my french.
that i will accidentally eat what was meant to be a condiment on the plate.
that i will experience chignon fail.
other than that, let's get to gettin!

Ooooh so soothing and lovely. I desperately must have colour around me to make me feel alive but when neutrals are done so so well, I have to think how lovely it would be to walk into a room that instantly calms me... beautiful!
ReplyDeleteFrance is so close!! Oooh I can't wait to see it through your insightful and artistic eyes! xxx

ReplyDeleteMichele,
ReplyDeleteI'm a relative newcomer to Tone on Tone and the magic that is Loi. Thanks to a link from Brooke at Velvet and Linen I too can daydream about a home furnished with the beautiful Swedish antiques from his shop.
Thanks for this, great post.

Beautiful colors and textures, I love the blend of weathered colors and whites.
ReplyDeleteAs soon as Loi posted his first blog, I was smitten. His taste is, for me, perfection, as is his photography. And to top it all off, he is a lovely person.
ReplyDeleteIt is fitting that you featured him.
