I am a pretty big fan of toile and transferware over here
For me- the patterns and colors are timeless and with so many different styles and colors
to choose from- it is easy to incorporate a little bit in your own home-
from wallpaper, to fabrics to dishes on display.
In my bathroom– it’s red floral toile wallpaper that I love
and I have gathered various color transferware dishes to display together in the buffet
or the open shelves in the kitchen.
Though I have been staying with the whites and ironstone recently
I do bring in some transferware to spice it up or change the look
Especially when there is a pattern that just begs to come home with you
like this stack of gorgeous floral toile plates with the sweetest little bird on them.
They looked familiar when I bumped into them at HomeGoods
and they were.
and they were.
Remember when I was in Boston for HomeGoods blogger day and participated in
that design challenge?
that design challenge?
HomeGoods brought the same dishes for me to use- except they were in blue and white.
I have been keeping an eye out for them ever since- and haven’t found them
until now.
They didn’t have a full set of them
but that isn’t going to stop me when I find a pattern that I love.
Mixing and matching works perfectly.
There were enough that I could put together a tablescape
when I shared the recipe for an all-fruit smoothie recently
and I can also use a couple of them on the wall as decor.
Since I only found one smaller and several large plates
I mixed in a thrift store find antique black and white transferware bowl
It’s fairly stained and crazed but I love it
Changing dishes that you display is a super simple way of changing the look
in a room- and you don’t have to spend a ton to get a different feeling.
Bright pops of color like a cobalt blue or sunshine yellow would make it feel completely
different as well.
Since these were photographed awhile ago- these peonies have long finished blooming now
Never seems like peony season lasts long enough.
Busy week ahead- will share more on what I am up to soon!
Happy Tuesday!

How pretty. We don't have a HomeGoods in my city 🙁 The nearest is about 2 hours away. Maybe that is a good thing, as could get in some real trouble there…

Love those dishes, Courtney! Black & white is my favorite of the toiles, but you had me at the birds.

Hi,
Just discovered your blog recently and I am really enjoying reading it. I was so excited to see your "Toile", I have the same dinnerware. I got them from the Onieda website about 6 months ago and the pattern is Adelaide Gray. They are beautiful. I use them everyday, they don't get hot in the microwave like ironware. They hold up well to my everyday family use. I think today might be the last day for 20% off, but coupon code is JJ20.

Low and behold, found the black ones at Homegoods and bought those too. Too funny!!

Love the black & white mix of new with the old vintage thrift find.
You have such a way of tying your look all together giving each piece a vintage look.
Courtney, do you have a Marshall's store, last week I spotted the very plates large selection of them there in the black and white same pattern, I reached out and held one, looked it over and pondered them, I was so close to buying them, and then did not due to the bird plates I am trying to sale and thought more bird patterns.
They look fabulous in your vignettes, and such a perfect fit with the flow of your home, a perfect bedside plate filled with goodness.
Enjoy all you inspire here.
Xx

Hi Courtney, I live in the UK and we have a Victorian pottery that is still in production called Burleigh. Take a look at their website. They do toile patterns in a variety of colours and tend to do black as specials. Gorgeous!

This is truly beautiful, I love anything toile! The peonies are a lovely compliment to this setting!

I love the toile. The look with the white is perfect. Your photos make me wish I were in your yard enjoying the surroundings and sipping on the smoothie. Fantastic as always.
Sarah says
Lovely! You know I'm partial to black and white dishes. '-)
Will need to stop in Home Goods and see if they are here too.
