Beautiful Toile

i have had a love affair with toile for years. i brought these chairs with me when i moved here from Ontario. i could not part with them.
i have always enjoyed going to the fabric store. it's pure eye candy for me. when i found this fabric i had to have it even though i had no idea what i was going to do with it. one day i was looking at my old china hutch wondering what to do with the inside. it was a little on the rough side. debating on whether or not to paint it i remembered this lovely fabric. i tacked it inside and once i put my china i could not believe how beautiful it looked.








these are vintage toile curtains that i have hung up in my son's room.




i never tire of toile it is so classic. i am always on the look out for different scenes and colours
thanks for visiting...

  1. I love all your toile, it tells a story. Sams toile reminds me of Robin Hood. Your red dishes are fabulous I can see why you like them, because they look like toile on plates!

  3. It looks like you were in love with toile before the rest of us! I just love your chairs! I'd never part with them either. Your china cabinet looks lovely. What a clever idea using the fabric. And an inspiration!

    Hope you are having a wonderful week!

  4. I really like toile as well. As soon as I get my desk tidied up I'm going to show it with the toile wallpaper (which you will recognize as it is the same pattern as your red material). I like the colours in the last one - very pretty.

  8. Are you sure we were not separated at birth?? You and I are on the same page! Those chairs are just terrific and your red transfer ware is beautiful too! By the way, I get white knuckled on some of the mountain passes too and my husband always teases me about it. Even when I try to appear calm, he knows that I am really hanging on to the arm rest!!

    Love,
    Susan and Bentley
