One of my finest car boot purchases were a pair of black and white floor length curtains I picked up for a fiver. They are still up in the bedroom and the cats love to hide in them.<br />Check out Timorous Beasties for their Glasgow Toile featuring smackheads and Lidl shoplifters and I remember wallpaper direct used to do a Toile featuring copulating couples...nothing chinzy about them. xxxVixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05263970600699632661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6307704515809716636.post-1659309126171130982011-01-21T15:09:12.377+00:002011-01-21T15:09:12.377+00:00Alex, I adore Toile, I agree with you too much can...Alex, I adore Toile, I agree with you too much can be overpowering, I bought some lilac Toile fabric years ago, which I turned into a tablecloth and four scatter cushions.

Maybe an accent wall would work? with a few other bits of toile delicately dotted about the place. I love my cushions on the bed in a number of patterns to make the colours on my bedroom wall. I keep it simple with white duvet cover etc though. <br />Love talking interiors. <br /><br />xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12731699334337877594noreply@blogger.com
