Do y'all like toile?

I love toile. Toile pillows, window coverings, lampshades, plates, they all look beautiful to me. I don't know what it is about it that I am so drawn to. I seem to migrate to it when I see it in stores. It has a sort of vintage feel, yet it looks good in all types of rooms. Toile comes in many color combinations that it is hard to pick which one I like best. Let's take a look around my house and see if we can find anything toile. I bet we will!

















Sorry some of the pictures are dark. I am not the best photographer! Also, sorry if the red date on all my pictures is not very pretty. I had my husband turn that feature on so when I take pictures of my son (which I do all the time!) I always know the dates and don't have to look them up. I would love to hear about your like or love (like me) of toile. Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

oohhh! I love all of it! When I go into a fabric store, I feel the same way, just drawn to certain things, especially toile. My mom made me toile curtains for my kitchen (i'll show pictures soon) and I love them. The pattern adds so much character to a room! Thanks for sharing about your love!
