The lovely look of Toile

Hello, lovely blog readers! I'm so happy to be here with you at Le Chateau Des Fleurs with a guest post from Arcadian Home blog. It's a great place to find lots of interior design inspiration including decorating ideas for everything from fabulous mini pendant lights to lovely rugs for the floor. Today, we get to explore one of my favorite patterns—beautiful toile with a wonderful timeless quality that never seems to go out of style. From original French pastoral scenes to some interesting new takes on the look, let's take a peek into eight rooms dressed up in toile. Please enjoy! Isabelle, thanks for letting me stop by for this little visit. ~ Mari  

Designer Allison Cosmos say this stunning mural was inspired by fabrics and wallpaper from Manuel Canovas which were used in a nearby room. The lovely pattern called Bengale is seen here in Paprika.

This traditional French toile in yellow feels updated and fresh paired with pure white and mixed patterns on the bed. I love the look of white contemporary lamps topped with very traditional toile shades.

This classic coastal vintage living room filled with the warm hues of sand is brought to life by seaglass blue velvet chairs and toile pillows. It's a great example of how pretty just a few touches of toile can be.

 

Another traditional bedroom is beautiful in yellow on white toile. This one has lovely neutral walls in beige hues. I love the sheer bottom extensions on the toile draperies.

Blue on white toile wallpaper is paired with white subway tile in this elegant vintage bath. It's beautiful with unexpected tan accents like the painted woodwork and tile floor.

A pale green on white toile wallpaper seems simply perfect for this small guest bedroom. Isn't the toile color pretty with the lilac vintage bedspread?

French toile is lovely in this inviting bedroom. Can't you just picture breakfast in bed served on beautiful decorative trays? What a wonderful space in which to spend a lazy weekend morning!  

And, lastly here's a contemporary powder room papered in classic black and white toile. This a beautiful wallpaper that works well with the sleek window treatment.

Le Chateau des fleurs, breakfast nook

Oh i loved the Alice in Wonderland  party yesterday...I can't stop looking at the pictures...So glad i have a camera to capture those memories...Now....The tour continues...
Welcome to the Breakfast nook. The walls are brown like in the kitchen. Ceilings Aqua blue. The floor is the same as kitchen... Cobblestone in an Antique pattern.

I really love this white buffet...I love painted furniture.

When i lived in Southern France, we lived in a small white house with a Terracotta roof tile, like in this picture. We were on a hill facing another hill. My bedroom view was on the other hill, covered with Sunflower fields.....Oh so beautiful...France is covered with fields. We have our own agriculture and produces for the country, it includes farming too.

Yep, Zacky, you match my furniture...Looking good... LOL

I love the bench, although plan for a lot of room to move it to sit down.

I love toile. It is the theme for my kitchen and nook.

It is next to the kitchen... What you see, the green wall is the hall to the lockers if you go right. On the left  is the garage door.

This is my winter look on the buffet. Tomorrow is my spring makeover in the breakfast nook...:)

Tutorial on back splash center piece

When i could not find a Toile center piece for my kitchen, I decided to make my own. I got the white tile at Home Depot.

I put the tiles down on my table to made a pretty frame. Then I washed and let dry the tile.

I used decal paper and copied a Toile motif i liked.

I used a surface conditioner for ceramics. When dry, I transfered the Toile design with a pencil.
Then it was time to paint. I used black and brown paint for ceramic. With a thin brush, i painted everything changing the drawing to my liking. I let dry for 10 days. Always follow in the instruction on bottle.
This is waterproof and SO amazing....I had the Tile guy, cut the edges for the frame and install it ...that was it!!!

Party at Today's creative blog. Here.

The French tree

In the living room i have the French tree.
The colors are black, white, red and silver. I started with toile bows, a red berry garland, added all ornaments then the honeysuckle. I used my collection of Paris postcards framed in black frames.
My collection of toile vases on the mantel.
