My readers probably have picked up on the fact that toile is a favorite of mine. I talked about it HERE. When my friend, Carol, gave me her blue and white duvet cover and shams I posted about the facelift I gave our guest room using the blue and white toile linens HERE. I later revealed that we covered the toile wallpaper in our master bathroom due to some dry wall damage that had occurred HERE.
The withdrawals have been challenging but I still have a toile chair in my reading room and I completed a serving tray with some of the leftover Pierre Deux toile wallpaper and some of the left over toile from the reading room chair and that has eased the pain. 🙂
This is the master bath wallpaper under glass on a $9.99 Home Goods tray.
This is the leftover fabric from the toile chair.
I hope to use the tray and the glass (I purchased from my frame shop) throughout the year. I’ll cut some fabric or papers that reflect the season…pretty fun.
This photo was taken before my re-do of this room but it’s a better shot of the toile ladder-back chair than the newer image.
So I have been compiling some lovely images throughout the year of rooms that use toile and thought I’d share them.

Unknown…isn’t this the sweetest vase? The roses look good enough to eat.
Do you like toile? Is it too fussy for your taste? I understand if it is…I live with someone that feels that way!

I love toile! It’s amazing how it warms a room instantly. It covered the walls in the eating area of my old farmhouse kitchen. The color was a soft yellow with a pretty blue. I miss that cozy room. Oh no, now I’m thinking where can I use it in my current home!

Hi Kathy,
Me too! Toile feels so inviting and has such a great history. Hope you can find a spot for it in your current home.
Thanks for stopping by!

Absolutely love toile and no matter where I lived I would have to have a least some touches of it. My favorite is to have an entire room with everything toile, but if that cannot be the case smaller doses will do. What a wonderful idea to make the trays…a creative way to hold on to the wonderful toile memories.

Jermaine,
I agree, a touch of toile is essential. There are some really great patterns out there in wonderful color combinations. Thanks about the tray…it’s fun.
