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.

Hello,
I love the toile and especially how charming the bathroom looks.
Great blog!

I love the classic look too. Just small touches in someone’s home.
Thank you ALL for stopping by the toile party. I see there are many of us who love this classic fabric.
Kathy, you wanted to know if me & my sister have similar taste and yes, we do, but not exact. She's not quite as INTO decorating as I am & she has no toile in her house either, but we're both on the Traditional side of decorating.
You have a beautiful bedroom. I love toile but it does not fit in my home. I love it in everyone else’s
Lovely
My love affair with Toile is still going strong. I think it has been about 8 years for me as well. I am thinking of getting toile chairs for my front porch. We should see.
Hi Rhoda,
Thank you so much for your comment. We are new and very excited about being a part of a community of bloggers that love interior design. I’ve been following your blog for months and have become a huge fan!
Thanks again!
Nola
Rhoda – love those curtains, and I love that bathroom wallpaper. I love toile too – and find it odd I do not have as much in my home as I would love to. Me needs to change that. LOL I’m sorry my comment about your “designer” through you off. I meant that I was so impresssed with your blog design that I contacted the designer to work on my own blog.
😀 Sorry my wording made it confusing. Thanks for sharing, Barb
I feel the same way about toile. My bedroom curtains and my pillow shams are of black and white toile. I also have the matching bedspread but its very large and heavy, so I only use it during the winter. As soon as Spring spring forward I take out my white and fluffy bedspread. But toile is very nostaligic, elegant and, in my opinion, very feminine.
Hi Rhoda! I would love to trade buttons. Im sorry for not sending this via email but my email has gone Kput! Not sure what I did wrong but I cant seem to reply to anyone,yikes! Thanks for thinking of me~
Rhoda~ I am passing on an award.
I think you are Fabulous!
Rhoda,
I always love looking at your pictures! Thanks for sharing,
Diane
You are just so talanted and creative. I love your toile curtains. I love toile period. But those curtains were so beautiful. What a beautiful bedroom you had. Thanks for letting us peek in. My hubby is a toile hater so I have only managed to sneak it in to the laundry room so far.
