Designer Spotlight: Loi Thai of Tone on Tone
I’ve been wanting to write about some of the blogs and/or designers that inspire me for awhile now, so I thought for a change for today’s Friday Favorites, I would share one of my absolute favorites, Tone on Tone. Tone on Tone is the blog written by antiques store owner and designer, Loi Thai. It features a lot of Swedish style furniture, collections and vignettes from his Maryland antique store of the same name, and photos from his (two!) stunningly designed houses.
I was first made aware of Loi Thai when his gorgeous home and Swedish antiques-filled shop was featured in Martha Stewart Living magazine. In addition to being a wonderful designer and antique store owner, Loi is also an incredibly talented gardener. His topiaries are legendary!
He is also an avid collector; creamware, ironstone, architectural salvage pieces, and antique silver are some of the items he collects. I have featured photos from his house in several of my posts already, as he is such an inspiring designer and his mix of old and new, French and Swedish, speaks to me so clearly.
If you have not seen his work yet, you are in for a real treat!

| One of my all time favorite rooms! It is, quite frankly, perfect. Love that stunning antique mirror! |
 |
| Vignettes are a specialty of Loi’s. |
 |
| He frequently sells Swedish clocks in his store. I actually featured this photo recently when I posted about my love of Mora clocks here. |
 |
| Love the mix of creamware in his (organized by color!) bookcases. |
