Toile Tales


A toile party!
A toile party-count me in! I just love anything toile! There are bits &pieces of it throughout my house. All colors and sizes-chairs, clocks, pillows, bedspreads, lampshades, dishes…the list goes on. My most toile-rific room is my guest bath. It is decorated in a garden-themed Toile de Jouy. I found the fabric on eBay. My red and white dishes have a toile sort-of-feel to them and I topped off my lights with toile shades as well. I have a fun black & white toile clock in my workshop. My cat Micky seems to gravitate toward toile-asleep on my guest bedspread and one the bench in the library.
There’s a blue & white toile runner on my dresser in the kitchen. I use a black & white country toile on my tables at craft fairs & herb festivals. Don’t forget o join the other party guests for a toile good time. Hosted by Pretty Organized & Wendy at The Shabby Nest.

Victorian Screen was a
consignment shop find.
My neighbor made the toile pannels.
I bought the fabric on eBay.




Found the light at a consignment co-op
for $10.00.

Love all your toile! Your hutch of red transferware and the lamp are my favourites. But it is all lovely. Thanks for sharing.

I love the little lamp. And of course the kitties asleep in the toile. Have a beautiful day.

Thank you for your nice comments on my kitchen. Love Toile too, I bought a red clock for my mother-in-law and painted a hutch to go with it. She passed away four years ago. Everything looks so beautiful...like a magazine cover!

J'adore the clock, the shades, and the screen! I'm so envious of your guest bath...luv those toile colors!

Your home is so lovely, but my favorite part is the cats! Lucky, lucky felines! Cheers, Andrea

That screen is gorgeous. I love the "kitty on toile" patterns. Evidently, toile is as comfy as it is pretty!
