better late than never...


A Toile party!?!?!? Hosted by Pretty Organized Palace... and I must participate... and admit that it did my heart glad to see Toile is still very much a part of decorating life.

In Emma's room there is a tiny bit of Toile... enough to make me happy! Colors in her room include baby pink, green, black and white gingham with touches of Toile... here are a few snap shots...


Photo #1: Toile bunny came from TJ Max back in 2002. I spray painted the shelf that I purchased at Michael's. The canvas-art with Scripture was painted by yours truly...

Photo #2: Toile plant stand purchased from Michael's in 2002. Toile pillow cover purchased on eBay. Black and white gingham chair found at a garage sale for $3.00 and I recovered it with fabric from Joanne's Fabrics with my 40% off coupon. Pink Toile bear from The Gap back in 2002... and the "E" amazingly handcrafted by Johanna... who needs to sell these things because they are truly fabulous. Wall color "Christopher Robin's Swing" from the Disney paints at Home Depot.

I love your nursery. I think that toile is great for a "grow with them" theme. It is timeless- or at least that is what I tell my husband for budget purposes...

thanks for visiting my blog & for the hair comments- these curls have a mind of their own!!!!!

I love what you've done in your daughters room. Everything is so pretty. The bunny dress is my favorite. I'm gonna have to copy that idea for my daughter's bunny.
