All those colors, the patterns, wood and painted furniture mixed together…
flirty ruffles,
and those dreamy pale cottage colors…
of French Country.
Well in most rooms anyway~ my bathroom is a little different.
I adore the color and pattern and love it mixed with the peaked bead board & beamed ceiling,
This bathroom has one large window looking out over the backyard
I found for around $4 per yard at a favorite source for remnants.
Though the fabric doesn’t match the toile wallpaper exactly~
its floral pattern and coloring is actually very close
I am loving the warmer look it brings for Fall and Winter and kind of liking the layering in here.
(Well, for now at least~ you never know when one of those wild hair moments might pop up again)
😉
You can see the crazy pretty scary look this bathroom started out with

It's wonderfully soft and loevly! They don't match… but they don't fight each other. I think they'll be best friends 😉
Gorgeous as usual 🙂

Beautiful marriage of paper and drapery. I too luv the French County look and have been leaning toward it again ( after having decorated this home in a Tuscan style) . I grew tired of the bright sun-drenched colours and fabrics and have slowly been returning to the softer French country look. The breakfast nook has a sweet valance in a red toile that I so adore.
Thanks for inspiring me to soldier on with my choice.
Cheers, Gee

Oh, Courtney, your toile bath is absolutely gorgeous! I am a toile gal and have been for years. I have green toile in my bath. I would have toile in every room of the house but it is very hard to find here where I live. Your bath is just beautiful; good job!
Blessings,
Sandi

Beautiful fabric, Courtney! It may not be a match to the wallpaper, but it looks pretty darn close and the colors look right on! I love toile myself, although I don't think I could live in the rooms that are totally toile. I love it in your bathroom because you have the white beadboard which helps break it up. I love the look of your bathroom!
Michele Smith says
OMG! Gorgeous absolutely gorgeous! Any time I begin to steer away from french country I always come back, it is what I am drawn to. I love those inspiration photos and the toile. Your bathroom is breathtaking.

Shirley@Housepitality Designs says
So you had a great "epiphany" (one of my favorite words)…..the fabric is perfect for the drapes in the bathroom…I love the way it looks with the wallpaper…While toile may not be someone else's "cup of tea" ..I love it so…and as you said..you do what makes you happy..and I am sure that every time you walk into the bathroom, you just smile..as it makes you happy…and I certainly would smile too!!!
Beautiful bathroom Courtney!

Your bathroom is gorgeous, Courtney. The toile is very pretty and the new 'layer' with the lovely fabric is very cozy looking. Elegant too. I so agree about surrounding oneself with the things we love.
Kim @ Savvy Southern Style says
I think they are perfect in there. Just beautiful.

Toile is my weakness. My favorite is any toile by Pierre Deux. I go in there just to look at the fabric and dream….
Dawne at D Magazine says
I love what you've done with these patterns and accessories!
I'm doing a couple of rooms in blue toile, myself. Whew!
Rainbow Gatherer says
I love those patterns too, my living room's curtains are like those 🙂
Heirloom treasures says
Love it,I must do something with ours,it's needing a spruce up. I think the wallpaper and curtain are a really close match. I wouldn't have known they were not if you hadn't said. x
Amy Chalmers says
I love the bathroom Courtney~the drapery pattern looks perfect with the wallpaper. I agree that tone on tone toile all over still has a restful feel…and a cozy feeling~you have such a great handle of the ferench country look! I am doing a Romantic Homes feature with the new Annie SLoan toile~its a pale dusky lilac and brown..so gorgeous, and I think you will love it.
Athena at Minerva's Garden says
Oh Courtney–what a gorgeous bathroom this is–I could just live in there! I love the red toile curtains you added–I like pattern, but you have enough white in the room that it works perfectly with the pattern in the fabrics and wallpaper. This is such a pretty look. I also love the footed dresser–what a magnificent piece(!)and the rose-filled urn–beautiful all.

Courtney, I LOVE the drapery fabric! Your bathroom looks so pretty! I'm also fond of that little leopard print stool – so cute! Glad I'm not the only one who likes a touch of the "wild side" in her rooms! You sure have a magic touch when it comes to decorating and I love reading all of your posts and admiring your photos. Thank you so much for sharing and inspiring! Hugs, Leena
