blog beautiful: tone on tone

October 08, 2012



 

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.




 Antique dealers specializing in 18th and 19th century
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
blog.

Are you feelin the love for Swedish antiques?

Peace to you right where you are.

    that 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!

  11. 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!

    France is so close!! Oooh I can't wait to see it through your insightful and artistic eyes! xxx

  14. Michele,
    I'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.

  21. As 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.
    It is fitting that you featured him.
    Best...Victoria
