Lunching with Loi


Could the day have been any more perfect?
Bethany and I went to the home of Loi and Tom from Tone on Tone Antiques along with our friend Kerry Steele, from Design du Monde, for a fabulous luncheon.
Of course the tour of his home did not disappoint.  Are you kidding? It was a museum, perfection at every turn. Loi is a master designer, curator and host. He and Tom have remodeled their home inside and out to reflect the most beautiful architecture, home to their treasures and their magnificent gardens. I felt like we were on hallowed ground.
 These photos (taken by Nancy) hardly do his beautiful home justice.  Their home has been professionally photographed and featured many times, so take this novice's angle with a grain bucket of salt at what is behind the scene of Tone on Tone.












I hope you enjoyed a  sneak peak into Loi and Tom's home. We sure did. We love our blogging community!

Have a great week.
