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.

    Such pretty toile. I love the little bathroom in your old house. Isn’t it great when you can take something from your old house that you love and change it up in your new house? Have a beautiful day.

    Rhoda, I am so glad read that you think toile is “timeless and classic”, because I love toile so much and am trying to put it somewhere in my little bungalow. It is beautiful, but can also be masculine, moreso than some things that I love anyway. I loved this post, thanks!! Hugs, ~cindy s~

    I love the black toile with the green! It really pops. And I’m digging the candle sticks!

    Someone was pretty brave to put the yellow toile on the ceiling!

    Love that bathroom! Love it! I could sit in there all day. I’m draming of wallpapering my downstairs guest bath in Toile. Haven’t found the right paper yet but I’ll know it when I see it. Rhoda, thanks so much for your little plugs about this party. Amazing turnout and the tour of Toile-land is fantastic!

    Love all your toile! I’d love to do one room, use oriental toile and call it the “Imperial Domain”. 🙂

    I’m loving this party!

    Love your toile Rhoda! I am ready for a change in my kitchen. I would like to add a topper and fringe onto my panels. I need some fringe! Everything is just gorgeous, as usual…

    When we bought our house, the then-owners were like, “I’m sure the first thing you’ll do is redo the bathroom!”

    The one with the toile wallpaper? Not a chance. 🙂 Not sure Mister Shorehouse would have gone for toile, so I’m glad we inherited it! Your room looks very oo-la-la. Love it!

    Hello Rhoda and Happy Toile Day!

    Oooh…what a beautiful display of toile at your place! I loved seeing the photos of your bed and bath from your previous home…it was gorgeous!!! Your mother did a fabulous job with those drapes…and you're right, toile is classic and timeless!!! I especially like the black & white toile with the green walls in your guest bedroom…soooo pretty! Love that toile mosaic lamp too!!!

    Warmest wishes,
    Chari
