French Cottage Toile

I guess it's no secret that I love French Country rooms

filled with gorgeousness.
All those colors, the patterns, wood and painted furniture mixed together...

 they enchant me every time.

Though I most definitely do love romantic shabby
flirty ruffles,
and those dreamy pale cottage colors...

I seem to always come back to the warmth and charm
of French Country.

Some of my favorite French Country rooms have layer upon layer of gorgeous pattern

I know that some people find the pattern all together to be just too much

and I must admit that I have recently been leaning towards a more quiet feeling in my rooms too.

Well in most rooms anyway~ my bathroom is a little different.

I wallpapered my bathroom in romantic red floral toile wallpaper probably 5 years ago

and have never tired of it. I think if you surround yourself with what you love- it makes you happy.
 I adore the color and pattern and love it  mixed with the peaked bead board & beamed ceiling,

 crisp white wainscoting and checkerboard floor.

This bathroom has one large window looking out over the backyard

 I had a couple of white layered panels up for Spring and Summer which were so simple and pretty

but the other day, I started thinking about a certain bolt of fabric that I had stored away in an armoire.

A bolt with about 10 yards of gorgeous upholstery weight fabric that
I found for around $4  per yard at a favorite source for remnants.

A dreamy soft red floral toile 

I had been saving it thinking I would upholster a pair of chairs

but instead... I got a wild hair ;) and that fabric became something else.

 Simple drapery panels.

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
