modern monday: favorite modern (nouveau) toile wallpaper


About 4 years ago I came across some photos from the then-new Wythe Hotel in Williamsburg. The design was incredible, the anchoring restaurant looked terrific, but what really caught my eye was the custom wallpaper: a nouveau toile (designed by Dan Funderburgh) featuring illustrations that paid tribute to the industrial past of the historic hotel's structure. That was the beginning of my obsession with modern toile (and in case you're wondering how to say toile, it's pronounced twäl)

Toile, or really Toile De Jouy, literally translates to a cloth from Jouy-en-Josas, the French town where the printed fabrics were first commercialized. The pattered style of linen or cotton, which became in vogue during the 18th century, usually featured a bucolic country setting, pastoral scene or contemporary mid-1700s life. The toile could have floral motifs, maidens or heroes in typical landscapes, and the colorways were often limited to red, blue, black or green.

Today the narrative of toile fabrics and prints has grown. While there are still many contemporary companies who favor a more traditional pattern, increasingly there are modern designers putting a twist on the classic look. In the modern toile, the landscapes have been updated, the colorways have expanded, prints incorporate more inclusive depictions of city life, and some have even woven powerful social commentary into their work.  

Toile is even inspring digital installations at LACMA!


Here are some of my favorite toile, y'all!

Sheila Bridges' "Harlem Toile De Jouy" - a satirical piece that lampoons (some of) the stereotypes deeply woven into the African American experience.





Bay Area Toile by Matt Ritchie and JormaTaccone
 featuring Too $hort, Humpty Hump and Mac Dre, Alice Waters, Joe Montana, and Angela Davis. 




I FLIPPED out when I saw this custom wallpaper at the Henry Howard Hotel in New Orleans. I lived in the city for 6 years and fell in love with this design faster than beads fly off a float during Mardi Gras! Here, take a closer look:



It was designed by Kathleen Fitzgerald and Lauren Kolesinkas.




Peacock Toile available through Anthropologie


London Toile from Timorous Beasties

  10. I made a costly mistake on Coinbase, sending $43,000 worth of Bitcoin to an incorrect address. The support team informed me that recovery was impossible. Desperate for a solution, I researched online and discovered Morphohack, a company with a proven track record in cryptocurrency recovery. I contacted them, providing transaction details and screenshots. To my surprise, Morphohack successfully tracked down my Bitcoin, which had been transferred to multiple micro wallets, and recovered approximately $39,800. If you've lost Bitcoins or other crypto due to a similar mistake, lost access to your crypto wallet, Morphohack Cyber Service may be able to assist you.

  11. I’m Gina Kelleher, a 42‑year‑old marketing consultant in Toronto, and I’ve always been the type to research every decision down to the smallest detail. When it came to crypto, I moved at a snail’s pace: years spent gauging trends, making tiny trades, and monitoring the market minute by minute. By December 2024, I finally felt ready. I consolidated everything, $625,000 in Bitcoin onto CBEX.cx, a platform that checked every box.
    One late February morning, I tried to log in and the site had simply vanished. No maintenance notice. No downtime alert. Just… gone. Initially, I chalked it up to an outage. But as hours stretched into days, the reality hit: CBEX.cx had crashed or worse, disappeared with millions of dollars in user funds. Online forums exploded with panic, and whispers of an exit scam circulated without confirmation. I was paralyzed. I immediately contacted lawyers, filed complaints, even reached out to other exchanges, but every lead fizzled out. “Crypto’s risky,” they told me. I refused to accept that as my final answer.

    Then I found Morphohack Cyber, a digital forensics team with a reputation for crypto recovery. I was wary, how many times had I heard empty promises? But Morphohack’s transparency stood out. They laid out their methods clearly and outlined realistic expectations.
    Within hours, they were deep in my case: tracing transaction trails, analyzing mixer patterns, and infiltrating shadow exchanges. Three days later, the call came: they’d located every Bitcoin.
    By the first week of March, my full $625,000 worth of bitcoins had been restored to my wallet.
    I’m more vigilant than ever now and deeply aware of crypto’s pitfalls. But thanks to Morphohack Cyber, I’ve also learned that help exists and sometimes, hope does too. If you’re facing a similar nightmare, don’t give up. Contact Morphohack via Morphohack@cyberservices. com

  12. ✅ Crypto Recovery Testimony

    I’m sharing this with the hope that it helps someone out there avoid what I went through. I lost $237,000 to what I thought was a legitimate cryptocurrency investment opportunity. At first, the returns looked real, and the platform seemed professional. But when I tried to withdraw my profits, everything fell apart — my account was frozen, and support stopped responding. That’s when I realized it was all a scam.

    It was the most stressful time of my life. I felt ashamed, helpless, and angry. After weeks of searching and almost giving up, I came across JetWebHackers. I was skeptical at first, but after reading a few positive reviews, I decided to reach out.

    Working with them was a game-changer. They were professional, transparent, and walked me through every step. After providing the necessary documentation and details, they began their process. In less than a few weeks, they helped me recover almost all of my lost funds.

    I never thought recovery was possible, but JetWebHackers made it happen. If you’ve been scammed like I was, don’t give up. Do your research and seek real help.
    Reach out to them today and turn your situation around!

  13. I was casually browsing on my phone when a strange link popped up. Without thinking much, I clicked it, and within moments, all my Ethereum (ETH) tokens, worth around $221,000, vanished. It happened so fast that I thought my phone had been hacked. I quickly checked my laptop, but the damage was already done. My wallet was empty. I felt numb, shocked, and completely lost.
    Desperate, I reached out to a friend who’s been in the crypto space for years. He immediately suggested I contact Morphohack, a recovery team he trusted. I sent them all the details I had, hoping for a miracle.
    Morphohack quickly discovered that I had been targeted with a phishing link that drained my entire portfolio. But the real surprise? They said they could recover it. True to their word, within 48 hours, they retrieved everything I lost. I couldn’t believe it, what felt like a hopeless situation turned around, thanks to Morphohack.You can reach them via email(Morphohack@cyberservices . com)

  14. I thought I was being careful, but one click on a fake email and 12.7 BTC vanished from my wallet. It felt like my entire savings had just disappeared into thin air. I was devastated. I thought it was gone forever, until I found Morphohack. Their team didn’t promise miracles, but they acted fast. They traced the stolen Bitcoin through several wallets and found it sitting in an exchange. I couldn’t believe it when they told me they’d recovered it. Within weeks, most of my crypto was back in my hands. It was like getting a second chance. I’ve learned to take security seriously now, hardware wallets, two-factor authentication, everything. If something like this ever happens to you, don’t give up. Get professionals like Morphohack involve, like I did, and it changed everything. I’m grateful for the services of Morphohack.
