Hello sweet friends !
Last January, while we were visiting with our dear Alexandra and her family, I had plans to buy a "Toile de Jouy" material for reupholstering my dining chairs, that had seen it's days.
So we just got them fresh from the shop yesterday. I can't hide my excitement at how elegant and wonderful they look, thus refreshing the entire dining room.
I decided upon using another pattern material for the back of the chairs and found a 'Houndtooth' in navy and salmon just like the background color of the front of the chairs, of course.
I was saying to Mr. Living this morning when I first glanced at them, that it looks like a whole new dining furniture !
Here I'm sharing them with you, I hope you like them as well.

| My dream was always if I ever reupholster my dining chairs, Toile would be my first choice. |
 |
| Isn't it petty ? This is a 'Paysannerie' French pattern Toile de Jouy. |
 |
We loved this combo for the back of the chairs. A small navy and salmon 'Houndtooth' material, that blended perfectly... we thought.
 |
I was thinking of gray, blue and white, others that might catch my eye, etc. Then, walking front, right, left and back of that huge warehouse all of a sudden I saw it and that was it, color and print ! Love the classic 'country scenery' print of it... the pattern name is 'Paysannerie.'  |
The material had a pale pinkish and blue streak, that long since had faded with time, lol..

 Thank you dear friends for your sweet and kind comments, you always make my day ! Thanking the lovely hostesses for having me at their great parties.

ReplyDeleteThe contrasting (but matching still) backs are perfect.
I can't wait to see this table dressed throughout the year.
How exquisite,Fabby!Hugs!
ReplyDeleteTOILE is always amazing!!!!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely stunning Fabby!!!!! You have exquisite taste, I am totally in love with your chairs. I love how you used two patterns, the contrast makes such a difference I think. The toile fabric is beautiful and looks great with the chairs. Great job Fabby. You have really inspired me to get serious about finding a fabric and reupholstering my chairs. What a difference it makes to your dining room........Hugs.
ReplyDeleteDearest Fabby,
ReplyDeleteOh my, I sure can feel your joy and excitement for having found this perfect match.
Your husband has a very keen eye as well as the houndstooth fabric goes perfect with the Persian rug!
As for your Toile de Jouy, I'm a lover of it for years and still have several items for sale, made of this upscale, authentic French fabric.
If you put Toile de Jouy in the search box at the top right of my blog, you find lots of info... about how it got so popular etc.
Very classy and that table is a gem!
Hugs,
Mariette
Wow look so pretty Fabby

Come and party with us!
Oh, Fabby, they are exquisite! We have a set of Thonet caned chairs around our dining table, and the caning needs to be replaced. I want to add cushions this time to help preserve the caning. I'd like a toile fabric I think. I need to begin the search.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your "new" chairs. Absoulutely lovely!
Fabby the new chairs look wonderful. What a great choice and the fabric on the back is perfect. It does look like a new dining room! Amazing what a little freshening up will do. I love toile as well.
ReplyDeleteOh Fabby, your chairs look just stunning. What a gorgeous fabric for the fronts and another pretty fabric for the back. Love them!!
