Toile has documented pastoral life for three centuries; it was only a matter of time before the dogs sat for portraits. Puppy Toile sketches bow-tied pups in crisp blue line art across a clean lattice: French Country tradition, wagging slightly at the edges.

The design

Sketched puppy portraits tied with bows in blue line art, set in a tidy lattice repeat on a light ground. Crisp, preppy, and lighthearted. The blue sits crisply on the pale ground, so from across the room the lattice reads as tidy geometry with a faint flicker inside each frame. The dogs only emerge at conversational distance, which is where toile has always kept its secrets. Bright daylight sharpens the lines, and evening softens the whole wall toward powder blue.

Works best in

Nurseries, kids' rooms, playrooms, laundry rooms, and powder rooms with a soft spot for good dogs.

Style notes

Toile tradition, updated with a wagging tail. It belongs beside blue and white china, glossy white trim, rattan or painted furniture, and ticking stripes on anything upholstered. Dining rooms and entryways wear it with a straight face, while powder rooms and offices get to enjoy the punchline up close. Three centuries of pedigree, one very good boy.
