Taken with Toile

It was over 8 years ago when I first fell in love with toile and decided to do my bedroom makeover using a black and beige toile. This is my old house in Georgia. My mom made the drapes for me and I added pillows and some things that I had collected around the room and I was in toile heaven. I was very happy with this room.

And even added toile wallpaper to the bathroom. I loved this little space.

And the toile made it extra special. I’d still love to do another bathroom in toile, but it hasn’t happened in this house. Maybe one day!

So, I brought my toile drapes with me to the new house and split them up between the dining room and a guestroom, where they are now hanging and I’m still enjoying them.

In the dining room, they add some punch to this neutral space. Timeless and classic is toile.

And in the guestroom, I painted the walls green for a change of pace.

Toile pillow shams mix well with a little leopard print.

A covered lampshade in toile graces the nightstand.

And a tissue box that I covered with extra fabric hangs out next to a toile candleholder.

So, that’s my toile love, do you love toile too? Pretty Organized Palace is hosting a Toile party today, so go on over and see who else loves toile. You can get your toile inspiration for the week! I’ll leave you with a few more pretty toile pics to drool over that I found online.

    Love all your toile! Especially the wallpaper in your bathroom. I have a little powder room just begging for it but I haven't gotten up the nerve to tell my husband yet! We paid a bit extra for our plaster type walls in the house and I don't think he would be too thrilled that I want to wallpaper over it! Your photo sparked that urge again! Again, a beautiful job – love how you mixed your checks & leopard prints with the toile.

    I can't believe i just stumbled on this site. I just "toile"ed my master bathroom with a tan & black print that I adore. I made an unfortunate choice of black tile yrs ago & don't want to spend the $ to change it. Anyway now I am struggling with what other prints to use- drapes, etc. & its driving me nuts. I like the leopard print idea for a vanity chair and I think I'm going to go w/some stripes for the curtains but haven't found any yet. Thanks for the inspiration/
