I'm a little late for the party, but better late than never!
Pretty Organized Palace is hosting a Toile Party, and I couldn't resist being a part of it, since I am currently considering taking a toile decorating leap! So, along with the other bajillion decorating ideas in my head (front porch, kitchen cabinets, family room pillows), I have decided that I would love to wallpaper my powder room. And I want toile wallpaper, probably with beadboard around the bottom, but I don't know. My first thought was black and white, like this . . .
. . . then I thought about green and white, then red and yellow! Then I stumbled across
this website called Town Toiles, for a company that creates toiles based on major US cities. My husband and I honeymooned in San Francisco, so that one caught my eye first, but then I saw this one, and it made me suck in my breath--audibly!
CHARLESTON TOILE! Charleston is my favorite place! I am so drawn to this wallpaper, but I'm not sure if it's more that I love the idea behind it than I love the actual execution of the idea. This is the only color it comes in, which isn't impossible for me to work with, but . . . I will definitely have to let this idea percolate for a while before I do anything rash! It is an interesting idea! I think that I would have black accents. The mirror and light fixture are already black. There is also a cabinet over the toilet that is currently stained a light maple, but I am painting it when I put up wallpaper, either black or white. With white beadboard, would you paint the cabinet black, or white? Hmm?
