I only found the one you did in a quick search. I am wondering, tho, if you have considered using a black and white toile with the wall color? I think it would be striking, and a very classic combo.

I hadn't thought of that & it is a wonderful suggestion! I was trying to 'cross-pollinate' my wall decor throughout the house by mixing my black & white photo's w/ my reproduction maps & other similar art so I quickly threw up the b&w pic's on existing nails in the DR & really liked the effect. I think that a b&w toile would be really nice & much easier to find.

If I did 2 chairs in b&w toile what pattern would you suggest for the rest of the chairs?

I'm going to check out some on-line sources right now for premade b&w toile curtains.

What a super idea les - THANK YOU!

(& I'll lower my art today too!)

You're welcome!

I think a black and white stripe fabric on the other seats would be great, or a yellow/gold and white awning stripe. Either one welted in the black and white toile.

If you buy the pre-made toile, be sure you know if you are getting black and white versus black and off-white or cream, before you pick out the companion fabric for the chairs. You don't want one fabric to be cream and one really white, so it makes the cream look dirty.

Country Curtains and JC Penney both have ready-mades in toile. Country Curtains sells the matching fabric if you are wanting to do that for the two chairs.

Love the bones of your room..beautiful wood!!
The black and white sounds stunning.

or maybe, just maybe some brown toile as it would be close to hte color of your trim and still be gorgeous with yellow walls. I love brown toile. My DIL has black toile in her yellow kitchen but she has white woodwork. Just wondering if you think brown might be a workable color in toile for your application.

I just saw a toile yesterday on onlinefabricstore.net by Kaufmann. It's called Brewster Toile - Sand It has a deep gold color to me. Try taking a look and see if you like it.

Well, I think if you are going to use window cornices over your windows and if you put up panels of curtains beneath it on the end, that you could effective cover up the wood, if, as someone said, the brown thing throws you off. I think that when it comes to floors and windows that they kind of fade out or are considered "neutral" anyway.

I was just thinking since I saw this Devine Design using black large scale damask fabric and the gold piano (this past week's show) that possibly if you wanted to bring black in since you have those nice black/white framed photos, that maybe a black/white damask, different scale than your toile (which I love BTW) that it might work. Or how about a tone on tone of a yellow or gold that would just ground the end chairs? That stripe that they show with it, is nice,,,would be nice if you could find a wider stripe in the yellow/white if you went with that. A couple yrs back I was in a model home that used the black/yellow/white thru-out the house and it was stunning. I wonder if there is a fabric out there that is just black/yellow,,like maybe a stripe, or how about a solid or semi solid black moire? Or what about a large scale damask in the yellow/white or gold and white? How about a large or small scale check?
I'm just thinking out loud here. Have you thought of just making a slip cover type thing for the BACK of the end chairs in this other fabric when you find it and then just cover all the chairs seats in the toile? You could add piping or little ties or sashes using the toile on the back slip covers to pull it together. Then you aren't married to it down the road and if you can't find the perfect fabric now, it would give you the look and eventually you will find that, THIS IS IT, fabric. I kind of like to hedge my bets in this area especially if your fabric doesn't turn up right away, you've got that out and can just switch out something on the cornice that is removable, like a vertical band on top of the main cornice fabric, about a foot in from each end (I can see it in my head, just don't know the right words)and add a little bit of the matching fabric here from the end chairs. Sorry, just trying to help you THINK your way to something or get that ahaa moment. Let us see what you come up with, I know it's going to be darling!!

What about this?

There is a little shop near me that sells French imports, including Toile and Provencal fabrics. They are reputable folks (French) and I was just in there again recently. We purchased antiques from them several years ago. They sell online, too.

There's a fabric called Weymouth, color Sunwashed. It came up when I was looking for another colorway. You might run a search. I don't recall details as I was not looking for that fabric. It might have been a Richloom or Braemore fabric, but I am not sure if either.

Hello--
I don't post very often, but read frequently. I buy lots of fabrics on ebay as I make pillows and other home decor items.

There is also one called Vignette in Porcelain, probably by Waverly, that may be a colorway that interests you.
