A week of Toile - Day 5

I've gotten a lot of positive feedback on my fabric posts...so I decided to take it a step further. A whole week devoted to Toile de Jouy! Oh, those wonderful patterns featuring funny little men in hats in a myriad of bucolic scenes. But, as you shall soon see, not all toile's are the same...

Today's patterns all come from Thibaut, who happens to be one of my favorite places to go for really good toile! As I've saved the 'best' for last, it seems only fair to do something a little special with these fabrics. But what? How about showing close ups of each fabric so you can see just what makes them so special? Yeah... that'll do it!! As always, sit back and enjoy...

All the patterns I'm sharing are currently available for sale; often in multiple color options. If you're interested in 2 yards (min) or a bolt, just get in touch with me. I can have your fabrics sent to you, or directly to your workroom. How easy is that?!

Thibaut is also renouned for their wallpapers...and most of these patterns are available in both fabric and wallpaper.  Let me know your room size and I can tell you how many rolls of wallpaper you need. Again, it'll be shipped directly to you!

Master 'sweet' inspired

I was driving through downtown West Palm Beach the other day and spotted this building…


The architecture on this building tied in with the tri-color harlequin pattern on the entablature just stopped me short. Seriously. In the middle of the road! Then I drove around the block to see it at a better angle.


Granted, not a huge fan of the neon sign on the side of the building. It’s not that I dislike neon, or even the idea of neon on this building, just not sure about the color. (...hmmm, neon. Now that sounds like a future post.)


Back at the studio, my mind kept drifting back to that building. At first I was envisioning a little girls room, but as I delved into a favorite Robert Allen fabric book, a mature and elegant master bedroom began to emerge. A french inspired space that is filled with layers of luscious fabrics, trims, antique furniture, and architecture.


Here’s a peek at how I would pull it all together…


I also envision wallpaper as well as tons of architecture on the walls and ceiling, using molding to create wall panels. Something like this…



Hope you enjoy my blog. Tons more to come in the future!
