Hello ~ Happy August! I hope this finds you well and enjoying these remaining days of summer, which seem to be flying by. Tom and I have been on several road trips up to New England. Otherwise, we're hanging around the house and the shop. Speaking of which, it's been [...]
Over the years, Tom and I have traveled to Scandinavia numerous times throughout the seasons. We've feasted on hearty autumnal smorgasbords, visited snowy birch forests in winter, and scoured Stockholm's stylish shops in spring. But, there is nothing quite like the ethereal Nordic summers. The long days of endless sunshine [...]
What's new at Tone on Tone? Or should it be what's old? :) Well, the container that came two weeks ago has FINALLY(!) been unpacked. Now I'm working on tagging, upholstering, setting up shop, and uploading photos to our website. Sorry for the delay. I've been swamped with multiple project [...]

Before I begin, let me thank my talented designer [...]

When I wrote about being the youngest of 12, I was so pleased to receive many comments and questions about my family. And, I was pleasantly surprised to learn some of you are also from large families. Christmas in a large household was always exciting. My older brothers would take [...]
I hope your Thanksgiving was wonderful! Tom and I spent it with my very large family in the Virginia countryside. (Did you know I am the youngest of 12?) Our lively gathering was full of warmth, laughter, food and more food. On the topic of Virginia, have you seen the [...]
