A print that never gets old!
(Suzie from Palazzo Pizzo blog was kind enough to pass along this image from a recent Elle Decor issue for my post, thanks!!)I find that toile is a dish best served with a side of toile...
(Designed by Alessandra Branca, featured in Elle Decor/Dec. '06)Wouldn't you agree? Toile is such a graphic print yet it has subtle qualities, which is why it can be applied in so many ways and still come off fresh and charming. If you still can't imagine this to be true, I have saved some of my favorite "toile" rooms for inspiration...tell me what you think?

If designing a room out of toile is a hard sale for you, check out this great idea featured in Elle Decor back in April. Owners Glen Senk and Keith Johnson (of Anthropologie), found a creative ways to display a collection of Toile de Jouy fabrics in antique frames, shown above.
Or you could simply use the fabric as an accent in a room, like what owners Mario and Anne Grauso have done in their dining room here, featured in Elle Decor/Sept. '06.
For a more modern twist on toile, check out Timorous Beasties (a fantastic fabric and wallcovering company) and a previous post of mine here...
