Last night Curbed NY editor Kelsey Keith stopped by the Pavilion of Art and Design at the Park Avenue Armory in NYC and snapped the above photo of a toile de jouy "wallpaper" created by ceramicist Beth Katleman. In fact, "Folly," as the piece is called, consists of hand-done porcelain sculptures of, as the Times points out, "elves and Barbies in lieu of frolicking aristocrats." Unbelievable.

That's Rather Hideous: Joie de Vivre About Toile de Jouy in Curious Chi-Town Condo

What's that they say about the carpet matching the drapes? Well, there should obviously be some sort of expression for the decorative situation that arises when the window treatments match the wallpaper, which matches the couch. Our cousins over at Curbed Chicago kindly suggest that the buyer of this four-bedroom condo, on the market for $799K, "strip some wallpaper and get some new window treatments." Well, that would clearly offend the current owners, who appear to take a mild, totally modest, and completely normal interest in toile de jouy. Even the quiet rattan armchair falls prey!
