House Beautiful: Soft and Elegant Neutrals

This is a real treat-- soft elegant neutrals embody this refreshing home.

Shows us how simplicity can be so beautiful.

Decor Inspiration:

 At Home With Loi Thai & Thomas Troeschel

Loi Thai and Thomas Troeschel are the owners of the antique store "Tone on Tone" in Bethesda near Washington DC .

In this living room, the combination of warm, neutral colors with white and green may seem subtle, but this fusion is far from simple to achieve.

Environments are soft neutral colors in every room, and Swedish 18th century furniture 

Topiary fabulous!
