An 18th century Swedish stepback vitrine cabinet with geometric lines. Inside is a collection of antique Creil creamware from France – notice how their octagonal form echos the angles of the vitrine.
Much, much more in the new shipment – please stop in to see it all.
_________________________________________
At this time of year, I normally bring out my collection of antique brown-and-white transferware. But, I’m thrilled to say the collection has found a new home. Yes, I’m paring down, becoming a minimalist. Just kidding! I am running out of room at home, as the other collections (creamware, ironstone, salt glaze, mercury glass, etc) have grown considerably.
Remember my friend and client, Ceane, with the smart kitchen makeover?? She adopted the collection, and is keeping it intact – THANK YOU, Ceane! (I did hold back a few pieces but, shhhh, don’t tell Tom.)
Just in time for Thanksgiving. Ceane and I decided the transferware should go in the built-ins of her beautiful dining room. There’s still room to layer in more pieces, so it will be exciting to grow the collection. We are now working on wall art.
This little guy approves 🙂
By the way, are you on Instagram (IG)? I am: @LoiThai

Glad to see a post from you! I looooooove that pair of tables! So beautiful.
Loi, I am looking forward to finding out what your big announcement is all about.
wonderful new shop pieces. how do you ever part with some of those pieces? I would be heart-broken to let that chest go.

Wonderful to see you pop up on my sidebar. Beautiful shipment! The stepback cabinet is my favorite. Lucky Ceane to acquire that lovely brown and white collection. We have a small bit here, and it comes out for the autumn months. It seems to play well with seasonal things this time of year. '-)
I'm just getting started on IG, so thanks for adding your link. I'm now following along.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and Tom. I bet your table is going to be gorgeous!
Hi Loi, such lovely photos
Awe! Lovely post! Your styling and taste are impeccable. I can't imagine how hard it is to let all those fabulous finds go? I'd be doing the one for me, one for the shop… oh wait, I already do that! Happy Holidays friend.
love the new tag and hello beautiful new goodies! that greek key chest is drool worthy, and i LOVE the cabinet! beautiful!
I love the brown and white transfer ware in its new home; elegant and understated. Looking forward to the announcement!
Hello Loi, After an unexpectedly warm day here, your Swedish antiques look so cool and relaxing. My favorite photo is of the garden–green summer inside, vibrant autumn just outside the gate!

Love all the new pieces – especially the charming mirror.
So much beauty…all in one post. WOW! Those chairs, that chest, the cabinet…in love!! Enjoy your day and thanks for a nice healthy dose of beauty to start my day:)
Your summer trip sure had its rewards! Your neutral presentations are always stunning and though I am a real color person, I so appreciate how warm and inviting your neutrals are. I can see this as being one of the reasons you and Linsey are drawn to one another.
Dear Loi,
So many gorgeous pieces!!! All fantastic, each and every one of them!
Stay well dear friend.

I was searching new story on the web finally I got your blog It was very easy written by the author. The content was really considerable and sure to be convey this article into others.garage doors winston salem
i was so relieved/elated/inspired to see you in my email's inbox today! oh, loi, the shipment is insanely beautiful. you have inspired me to go swedish with our master bedroom which will have to be done on a shoestring budget. we easily plowed through the budget for this fixer upper and still have rooms to renovate! i am thinking i will make-over the furniture i have and try to do the labor myself. so often these budget restraints end up being a blessing since creativity must reign as opposed to clicking away at one king's lane (notice i did not say 'at tone on tone' as that would be blasphemy, yer majesty). your transferware collection looks stunning in ceane's space just in time for thanksgiving! i'm thankful for you, friend. for your gracious spirit and talents. for the gift of your blog. peace to you.
Hi Loi, This container is amazingly gorgeous. I'm in love with the first neoclassical two part chest of drawers–just my style. Chucky, sophisticated get not frou-frou. I'll be posting tonight. Hav also been so busy and good. XXOXOXOX Mary
Loi, I think I am coming over to the tone-on-tone side. I am loving the light monochromatic look these days. I want it all! xo Kerry
Dusty or not, I can only imagine how much fun it must be to unpack those containers. As usual, amazing finds. And even though it's sold, I can't stop thinking about that neoclassical bookcase. You didn't buy it for me for Christmas, did you? Oh Loi, you shouldn't have!
Such a fun post Loi! Beautiful images and furniture. You are insanely talented and I have loved getting to know you through IG and now your beautiful blog. Thanks for the daily dose of inspiration my friend! xo
What a gorgeous haul of exquisite treasures!!!….So glad that your transferware found a most beautiful home to be in…one that will treasure that collection as much as you did….Great features from the IG's!!! Happy Thanksgiving to you and Tom!
Love it ALL! OK, my favorite piece is the Swedish stepback vitrine cabinet. Holy cow! My favorite photo: the grinning boy:) What a sweetheart! Have fun cleaning and cleaning! Anyone who is not following you on IG- MUST FOLLOW!!!! xoxo, K
Oh loi your world is bright and lovely and I wish I could make my house as pretty. You are fun to follow and so kind as well. I am just so glad I found you on blogging and that your world is a happy one!! Your shop has to be the most beautiful one I have seen . Much love to you and Tom!!!!
Love this cheerful post of beautiful things. Know you are busy but always enjoy your posts!

Beautiful things come in large containers!!! Love everything as always Loi – and your displays are perfect.
Can't believe you parted with most of your brown transferware. . . . . . and you just know we all wanted it! Lucky Ceane – tell her to take good care of it – and all looks beautiful in her lovely home.
Having recently returned from France, including several days in Paris, I'm devastated by all that has/is happening there. My thoughts are with so many people, including my own family members, who live there.
Happy Thanksgiving to you, Tom, and your families. We have much to be thankful for whilst others are suffering.
With love, Mary
*Sigh* Such beautiful items and the staging is faultless. Mouse
Gorgeous Loi- looks
Like the best shipment yet! Love
That Neoclassic chest- art all its own. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving to
You and Tom! Xo Nancy

Loi, great post and pictures. I love Scandinavian style for the simplicity of their ideas and for the color palette, which tends to be light and pale…simply gorgeous! Regarding the Christmas spirit, I like Alma's corner…it is so cheerful and stylish…very, very nice.
I see that you are so interested in interior design, that’s why I would like to invite you to explore our rug world here http://www.sukhirugs.com/. Each Sukhi rug is unique. All rugs are made from natural materials by the hands of local makers from Nepal, India, Turkey and Morocco. I hope you will like them! 🙂
Loi,
Well out of all those containers packed with found treasures you have amazing beauty to offer in your store. Your eye is keenly aware of what gorgeous antiques is all about. You have me curious about your group effort with blogger friends and photos on IG. I will in January start to post photos on IG not shown on my blog, photos that have an emotional feel to them. Loi yesterday I posted a poem written from my heart, come visit.
xo,
Vera
Oh loi, I am going to go hunt you down on I.G this way I can share in your twice as much beauty and inspiration.
Love your shop pieces always. I think your shop would be one of my very favorites to shop if I were a Washington D.C girl!
Your clients respect what you say and create it's so obvious in how they stay true to how you create. of course being a designer myself in staging and the upper scale look that an estate model home requires limits oneself in areas of passion for the dramatic in the fine use of antiques to the average home buyer that comes through, but trust me I always slip in a few wow dramatic pieces that set the tone of a well lived space no matter what the budget is.
Love your style, beauty, passion for the refine, and collective soul with the use of stone wares.
See you and all you are surprising us with soon.
Come visit my dear, I have some holiday ideas playing out in my home.
Xx
