This is a bedroom I did our last summer with toile wallpaper that I love .




Put your feet up and have a cup of tea.




This room has green and cream wallpaper.




I love toile fabric and dishes also!




Our bath has toile wallpaper .




My sister in law gave me this perfect gift for Christmas a couple of years ago.



A peek into the downstairs bath.



Our little Christmas cottage decked out for a Christmas tour.





I have slowly collected lots of toile dishes.



Black and cream toile is pretty too.



I love my apron and toile bowl full of blackberries.



One of my granddaughter's in a pretty toile dress.



Tea in the garden?




Some blue and white toile in our guest room.


I hope you enjoyed seeing some of my toile and now I am going to peek at yours too!

Hi Carolyn,
Isn't a Toile Party great fun? I only learned about it yesterday. Your toile is stunning and your rooms very tastefully decorated! I'm still keeping my eye out for a robin but they probably have the good sense to stay where they are for a while. I did hear some geese on Sunday though. Enjoy the rest of your week.

Blessings,
Sandi

Carolyn, how absolutely exquisite!

Your pieces, colors and tones are so soothing and peaceful, you've arranged them beautifully with focus.

I hope you don't mind if I linger a while so as to admire it all a bit longer. :) It's heavenly.

Carolyn, Lovely pictures as usual. Your home certainly inspires me to greater creativity in my home.

I love your toile bedroom and especially the wonderful little bedside table. Is it rattan or wicker?

Breathtaking! Your toile is gorgeous--I don't know which one is my favorite! Do you ever have a problem with your guests not wanting to leave because Aiken House and Gardens is so lovely?

Hello Carolyn...

Ohhh my, I'm so sorry that I'm so late in getting over to see all of your fabulous posts!

My friend...this post of your fabulous home just took my breath away!!! Seriously, I do believe that it's one of the most beautiful homes that I've ever laid eyes on!!! I think that this is the first time that I've seen photos of your bedrooms and baths! The bedrooms are amazing...of course I love, love, LOVE toile! Love all of the toile wallpaper...the brown, the green & cream, the blue & white...ohhh my, soooo pretty!!! You have some of the most beautiful furniture too! I was really admiring that pretty headboard in the first bedroom (the tan/brown toile wallpapered room)...it's gorgeous! Each room is like a dream...it would be my dream home that's for sure!!!

Thank you...thank you for sharing your fabulous home with us! There really aren't words to describe the true beauty of it!

Warmest wishes,
Chari
