Toile Party.
Pretty Organized Palace is having a Toile Party today, and how serendipitous! Because my mother-in-law stitched me up a gorgeous toile shower curtain last week:
I've had this lavender toile fabric knocking around for seven years, ever since we bought a house in Columbus that had a lavender bedroom. I turned it into my study, and I was amazingly productive in that room, which I attribute to the lavender.
I fell in love with this lavender toile and bought it to make curtains for the room, but we were in and out of that house so quickly (eight months or so), I never had the time.
I've been hanging onto it ever since, waiting, and I finally got the chance to use it in my newly painted and redone guest bath.
The background is not as creamy as it looks above--it's hard to get the color right both with flash and without. We trimmed it with the green stripe because I spent months trying to find a coordinating fabric, and finally decided to go with something completely contrasting. I'm so thrilled with how it came out! Thanks, Viv!
Go take a look at everyone else's toile items, too. I love toile.

That looks FANTASTIC! Good job, Janelle!
I love the green with the lavenader. I have a green room that I would love to do that with.
Hi Janelle,
Lovely toile looks! Thanks for sharing.
Blessings,

I love the green trim with the lavendar toile... great choice. Lovely, lovely shower curtain, and wow ... awfully sweet mother-in-law to sew it up for you!
Thanks for visiting at That Old House, and for your kind comments!
Best wishes.... Cass
Great job on the shower curtain -- I wish my mother-in-law was that nice!

That's SO pretty! I love how you coordinated the lavender and green. Very soothing, and elegant too. And I agree with Scribbler about the M-I-L!!!! You're a lucky girl, haha!
Ah, yes! I've seen that purple toile and also adore it!!!! My guest bath is white and beige, but I add color depending on the season--purple for Spring! I imagine I'd be pretty productive in a purple study, too! Very nice!

I love the idea of a toile shower curtain. And yours looks fantastic :)
Fabulous shower curtain. Your MIL did a terrific job. I like the contrasting fabric on it as well as the toile. Isn't it fun to see how everyone is using toile in their homes?
Congratulations on your toilet party! Personally, I like to keep my bathroom time a little more private...
wow-i love the trim with the toile.

Are you kidding me? That is adorable! I love the lavender and green together!
Love that shower curtain! Your MIL did such a great job. Thanks so much for stopping by!
Beautiful! I love the green trim. Very nice.
I used to have yards and yards of some red toile that I had packed with me from place to place. Finally got rid of it but I loved it...just couldn't find the right application. Next time I'll think "shower curtain". That idea never entered my mind!
I love the coordinating fabric, and especially how the bottom is pleated. I have a black/cream toile shower curtain that needs to be lengthened. You have given me the exact inspiration I needed.
Hi Janelle, Thanks for stopping by my Blog!
Gosh I love that shower curtain, The trim is so perfect.
Have a lovely day, Jannet
