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.

Hope you enjoyed the toile inspiration!
Toile IS so very timeless and classic and I love it! Glad you still use your lovely drapes. 🙂
Toile is beautiful. I think I need more of it as I have none to speak of. I like in England temporarity and when I move back to Michigan, it’s something I plan on incorporating into our home.
You decorate beautifully!
I would love to put toile wallpaper in my master bath, but I am really awful with wallpaper and doubt I could get anything to match up. 🙁 I loved your pictures of yours!! Very beautiful!!
I just started noticing toile recently, I really like it, love the photos
Oh, Rhoda…I love your bedroom in your home in GA, especially that cute bath. Your drapes look great in your current home, too! Love the tissue box…that was very clever of you to create that cover…ummm, wonder if I could sew something like that? 🙂
Thanks for all the toile inspiration!
Wall to Wall Toile! Looks great Rhoda. I really think that lamp is cool. Makes me want to go out and customize a lamp today! Have a great day!

I love the bathroom – it's so elegant. (Your whole house is elegant, for that matter!)
I have a black toile valance in the breakfast room, and I'm going to have a matching slipcover made for my wing chair in my study sometime this spring.
Carol – where in England are you? I lived at RAF Lakenheath in East Anglia when I was younger. My aunt & uncle live near Ipswich, and my cousin lives in Lancashire.

You know I love that bathroom! I love toile (as you know) but I don’t like a whole lot of toile on the walls and that combination of white wainscoating and toile above the chair rail is beautiful. I’ve always loved those curtains!

I went to an Open House in my neighborhood over the weekend and the house was the same basic model as mine. The homeowner apparently loved toile because it was everywhere–they even had the same toile wallpaper in their powder room that you showed here. It was gorgeous! Love how yours looks with the beadboard, too. 🙂
Gorgeous! Stunning, really! I loved all your toile! Thanks for sharing.
Blessings,
Sandi
Hey, Rhoda! Yours is beautiful! Love the drapes! Question that I posed at Nester’s blog too…do you think I could pull off toile across the room from the zebra print? I am out of my league here!!! I am hesitant to use too many patterns–even if they are in black and white. Thoughts?? Suggestions??
Hugs!
Susan
I really love the toile with the leopard print!
I love your black and white toile with the green paint!
Great job!
Your curtains are great! Your home looks beautiful!

Hello! Wow! Very pretty!! I love toile! I want to make red toile curtains for my dining room and kitchen. 🙂 You have a beautiful blog.
Hi Ms. Rhoda…In my previous house I had black & white toile wall papered walls, bedding, drapes, & lampshades…I was in toile heaven…when we put the house up for sale the realtor said I should change it…people wouldn't like it…hmph, that house sold in less than 3 weeks to the 3rd looker & the 2nd looker came back to make an offer the same day we accepted the buyer's offer…haha! 😉 Bo
I grew up with toile wall paper in our house! Blue and white, very pretty. I wasn’t too thrilled with it when I was a kid, but now I see my mother was way ahead of everyone! Love your black and white!!!
I love all your toile….especially those curtains. Those are wonderful!
Hi there Rhoda!
I loved your bedroom and bath pics from your old house. I love toile too but have never used it in my own home. I have been thinking of using it in my guest room but haven’t started to collect the right elements just yet. I love how the wallpaper and gold mirrors just amped up that little space into an elegant boudoir! Loved it!
I LOVE me some Toile! I have new kitchen curtains in the red and beige toile..so pretty. I would love to do my girls’ bathroom in toile..but have a hard time finding a shower curtain and accessories.
