There is some thing about toile de jouy that is ever lasting, maybe it is the romance in the scences that it depicts, conjuring up images of a simpler life, with wonderfully detailed often dream like designs.
Whether a piece of worn 18th century toile de jouy or a modern day design, I love them all.
I partuculary love the red designs and think that a touch of red makes a world of difference on a grey winter's day.
The cushion, that you see above, is part of our new stock at Fabulously French and this particular design depicts Diane the huntress.
We also have a pair of curtains in the same fabric which would look equally as good when used as window coverings or as a ciel de lit/bed crown.
Whilst on pinterest last night, I found this fabulous photo of a bathroom decorated with wallpaper in the same design.....
photo from here
Ir really makes a statement but I would have liked a bit more white and favour a white framed mirror and white framed prints above the bath but that is my opinion as a lover of all things white.
On a final note, I will leave you with a photo that really caught my eye.....
Hence those chairs that I purchased last weekend, just maybe in for a touch of toile de jouy......
Bon week-end à tous, Leeann
