Many thanks to those that left good wishes – I received your comments, emails plus messages with much gratitude. I’ll keep you posted on our move.
In the meantime, let’s revisit a serene and sophisticated home that I decorated and recently refreshed. It belongs to Susan and Greg, special friends and longtime clients. I had the pleasure of featuring this project back in 2012. Take a look here – go ahead.
Now compare that to today:
Gone are those bright gold silk curtains (which were installed by the previous owner, and conveyed with the house). Per my advice, Susan replaced them with cream linen panels that complement the quiet beauty of the palette of warm neutrals accented by Swedish blues and grays.
Speaking of Swedish, there are a number of furnishings from my shop throughout this home. But I didn’t want the decor to scream antique Swedish showroom, so I layered in plenty of upholstered seating for comfort, English and French furnishings for variety, and one-of-a-kind accessories for originality.
Many of the pieces I actually repurposed from early
architectural elements. The iron grate in the coffee table that’s in
front of a Swedish settee came from a Parisian balcony. The zinc fragment on the mantel was once part of a door lintel; it’s the latest Tone on Tone acquisition that inspired my restyling of the mantelscape.
Here is the new mantelscape incorporating my zinc fragment plus sentimental items including family silver and the sublime drawings of acclaimed artist and dear friend Jill Bateman. Jill is also a good friend and client of mine. I’m grateful to her for bringing Susan and me together. BTW, the dramatic seaside painting (shown in fourth photo from top) is another work by Jill.

Hello Loi, What a charming and interesting house. I love all the collections and unique pieces, yet I would have made the mistake of crowding the compositions with more examples. The result looks very livable–just add people in order to animate the decor.

Susan and Greg are truly blessed! Their home is gorgeous,and you have decorated it to perfection Loi! I especially enjoy the neutrals and grays…I feel like I am walking on our little town beach on a foggy late winter morning. So soothing.
Hello Loi,
Your beautiful post brightened my morning. It is all so beautiful and in particular your beautiful wrought iron once upon a time balcony. I just love it all.
Congratulations on the sale of your home. Have a wonderful weekend

What a difference the new draperies make! Did you also change the wall color? Lovely, quietly elegant, timeless refresh.

Beautiful makeover, Loi! As usual, you deliver the best upgrades and inspiration. I wonder, do you know anything about painting brick? Our home is Chicago brick, but my husband and I both love WHITE painted brick. Are they any cons to painting brick?
Beautiful, Loi. The color of walls and furniture is very peaceful, and mixing in antiques and found objects is a requirement , in my opinion, to make a home unique and truly yours. Your choices are always pitch perfect.
What an exquisite yet livable interior! Would you mind telling us what they exterior paint colors are? I'm getting ready to paint my existing brick and shutters, & this is exactly what I'm looking for! Thank you.
Looks wonderful, Loi! Especially fond of the zinc fragment on fireplace.
Susan and Greg's home is gorgeous….I can see your magic touch throughout!….and CONGRATULATIONS!!!…Why did I know it would sell as soon as it hit the MLS!….Looking forward to your new adventure! Have a great weekend!
Hi Loi, Congratulations on the sale. It just flowed — amazing when that happens. xoxoxoxo Mary
Perfectly beautiful, Loi! xoxo
Loi,
Congratulations to you and Tom on the sale of your house. We're listing ours mid-March. I hope we're as fortunate as you and are able to sell relatively soon. Southern California home prices are on the rise and the inventory is low. Fingers crossed. I love your style and your fresh-up of your friend/client house is amazing, as always.
xo,
Karen
So pretty! can you tell me the wall color please!
Very peaceful…wonderful place to call home. Congrats on the quick home sale!!!
Love the discreet layering of texture and tones…so calming but not boring! Restraint is not easy.
Congratulations on the sale of your home! We sold two of our homes over the years in the same manner and it's nice to do so without the stress of protracted "on the market". Best wishes!
Simply stunning Loi. This home is so peaceful, calm and serene.
Can you tell me the living room wall colour? It is lovely against white.

What a lovely, sophisticated tone you have brought into this home, Loi! I love the mix of antiques and upholstered pieces, and I especially your fresh use of the architectural elements. All so beautiful!
Hey Loi,
Congrats on the sale of your Tudor!
Beautiful architectural features make this home uniquely attractive. The weathered, French ironwork once constructed for a balcony is presently perfect as the highlight of this sideboard.
I am especially taken with their front entrance; how welcoming and pretty!
Have a wonderful week,
Poppy xoxo
COngratulations Loi! onwards and upwards! xx
Wow – This is all so beautiful! I absolutely adore the colour palette, but my favourites have to be the use of Parisian architectural elements in the dining room – absolute genius Loi! x
Loi congratulations to you and Tom on the sale of the Tudor … now you can enjoy your renovation in your dream cottage knowing the Tudor will have loving caretakers. Enjoyed this tour of the lovely décor and redesign you did in your client's home.
xo,
Vera
