I've missed blogging this past week! Having all four children at home during Spring Break kept me busy (but not as busy as I was yesterday cleaning up and doing laundry after a week without doing either!).
Anyway, I'm back and I'm easing back into the blogosphere.
Pretty Organized Palace (http://www.prettyorganizedpalace.blogspot.com/) is hosting a toile party today. I love toile, too! My two younger girls share a bedroom. I LOVE THEIR BEDROOM! (Is it terrible to love a bedroom?? I've always taught my kids, "We don't love things, we love people." They remind me of this occasionally when I see something I love and I gush over it. )
Anyway, I've included some pictures of the girls' bedroom. M and I made the headboards. It's just a piece of plywood with a large piece of foam covered in toile fabric. M then somehow framed the plywood in molding and ...ta- dah! Easy and inexpensive to make.
The other pics are of my dining room. I think I'll have this dining room until I die! My favorite part of the dining room is the toile ( the original) fabric that I discovered under two other layers of fabric on the piece of furniture. My husband keeps asking, "When are you going to do something about that old dirty fabric?" Never! I love it and was so excited when I found it on there! It may clash a little with the dining room chairs, but that's O.kay. One day I may change the fabric on the chairs, but I'll never change the fabric on the piece of furniture!
Happy Toile Tuesday!

I "Love" your dining room too. Hope I get to see you soon. Katherine has finished my curtains for my den and just has the roman shade left. I'll have to have yall come over for coffe and see. I'm excited.
Oh, the pink and green room is so, so pretty!
I cannot believe that is a real bedroom! I thought it was from a magazine spread when I saw it. It is beautiful! Makes me want a little girl!
That pink and green toile is so wonderfully girly! What a pretty home you have!
I love your dining room! Lovely toile! Thanks for sharing.
Blessings,

I was gushing over your girls' room, too! Hoo-eee, that's a pretty space--and will go into my idea notebook for when my sister-in-law vacates my spare bedroom! :) Lovely touches and a lovely home!
BTW, I'm over 8 months pregnant and dealing with that sort of "crowded" and "claustrophobic" feeling...which is leading to some feelings of anxiety and worry about the future...
ANYWAY, I've been claiming the Pslm. 18 verse every morning and remembering to embrace the day the Lord has given me!! Plus I've been known to say, "The grass isn't always greener on the other side, sometimes it's just different grass." So, yeah, so glad I found your blog! :)
Everything is very pretty but I love your girls bedroom-great job!
Beautiful children also.

I love pink and green! I also did my little girls room in those colors! You can see it on my blog labeled "Once Upon A time"! It's all so cute, Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful bedroom! Love those soft colors...stunning! Love the toile in the dining room, too...the red looks perfect with the table and with the walls! Go DAWGS! My son graduated from there around two years ago! :-) Susan

I'm loving all the toile!! It's great to see how everyone is using toile in their homes. I really like your girls bedroom. I love that the toile used is a bit different & more colorful. Great for a girls room.
