As I’ve said many times before, one of the best parts about this blogging adventure is meeting new people. Loi Thai and his partner, Tom Troeschel, are some of those people. They have joined us for some fun parties here in Baltimore and have become wonderful friends over the past few years.
Loi and Tom also own the gorgeous store, Tone on Tone, in Bethesda, Maryland and writes the blog of the same name. He’s also got a beautiful instagram account with something like 31,000 followers (gawd, now I am depressed!).
And, if that’s not enough, their beautiful house is featured in the February issue of Martha Stewart!
His house is the epitome of cool, calm and collected, as is Loi himself. Spare, clean, white and bright are some other words I’d use to describe his design aesthetic.
Here’s Loi with Baltimore-based photographer, Helen Norman, who did the photography, and Lorna Aragon, editor for MS Magazine. I was actually up at Helen’s Star Bright Farm, just before Christmas.
This is all just a sneak peek, but you must go pick up the magazine and see how gorgeous it all is and then go visit his blog.
Tell Loi I sent you!
You are lucky to have met him - I love his blog and IG account too.

DeleteMeg, I'm glad you are friends with Loi. I enjoy both of your blogs. Loi is one talented and genuinely nice person.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! We need to catch up. Let me know the next time you are down this way. xo
DeleteHello Meg, Although Loi's admirers have long been in awe of his talents, it is nice to see him getting the official recognition he deserves.

DeleteHello, there! What an awesome surprise. Thank YOU, my friend, for the shout out :) You are the best!! Luvvvv ya lots, Meg - talk soon!
ReplyDeleteSo proud of you! I had to show the cashier in the grocery store when I bought the magazine!
Deletelove Loi Thai + glad you are friends xxpeggybraswelldesign.com
ReplyDeleteThe magazine contractually "rents" MS's personal residences when a photo shoot is conducted-- from what I have read. That is --her houses. I do not suppose that MSLO pays private home owners to stage a magazine spread in their house. In this situation it would be considered free publicity for your talented friend but then perhaps they charged him for the "advertising" we will never know. Get it in writing. business is business.
ReplyDeleteCAN'T WAIT TO READ IT!! thanks!
ReplyDeleteAfter reading Loi's post I had to run out to buy it on Monday. He has such a sense for that which is aesthetically pleasing and yet never overdone.
ReplyDeleteHow do you achieve such eye pleasing results with so few things?! Genius!
ReplyDeleteI am ready to chop up my furniture!
Off to the newsstand.
