Back on the subject of Manuel Canovas toile, this image stopped me in my tracks. Orange toile accented with blacks and greys...so beautiful!

Have a wonderful weekend...see you Monday!

Budget-friendly Toile Bedroom

This iconic bedroom that uses Manuel Canovas wallpaper has always been one of my favorites.

Design by Melissa Rufty

I have professed my love for two twin beds used together and the color scheme, headboards, monograms, etc are just totally up my alley. Love it all.

I'm going to wager that papering a wall (or a whole room) in to-die-for Manuel Canovas is likely a budget-buster for me, but I found this awesome toile fabric from P Kaufmann that has a similar feel and great colorways - two vibrant ones for a punch like above and one neutral one for a more calm take on this look.

P Kaufmann Scenic Toile Rouge

P Kaufmann Scenic Toile Crayon

P Kaufmann Scenic Toile Powder

All three fabrics are $18/yd, so very budget friendly. 

And yes, this is fabric and not wallpaper but don't forget that you can wallpaper your walls using fabric and it's pretty easy!

I had to repost this terrific shot of Manuel Canovas fabric Misia, posted by Kelly Green today. I LOVE this advert/photo (and love most anything by Manuel Canovas). I would frame it! The pink hues are perfection. And KG is fab, if you don't know it. It's one of my daily reads, and I had the pleasure of designing the blog for Australian-based blogstress Belinda...it was a fun project - especially since I had that great illustration by Lonny's Caitlin McGauley to work with!

I'm looking forward to round two of our mantel construction this weekend. Hope you all have a fabulous weekend of your own...see you Monday!
