I had the hardest time naming this post, because “car toile” doesn’t make any sense. But that’s precisely what this is: car toile wallpaper.
Gosh. Who comes up with this stuff? Amaze.

p.s. If you read “car toile wallpaper” fast enough it looks like “car toilet paper.” Sort of.
I always love design with a sense of humor – awesome find!
me, too — quirky design is the best! thanks, kathryn!
my husband would love this wallpaper and i do, too. yesterday, i learned on top gear that ‘car’ means penis in albania :).
SHUT UP!?! amazingly fun fact. gotta remember that one!
Hello Erin. Thank you for the kind words! The wallpaper is called “Toile de Derby” which is a play on “Toile de Jolie”. The imagery is small scenes of demolition derbies. Being from Milwaukee originally, I have entered my fair share of demolition derbies. It only seemed natural to turn it into a wallpaper. How many wallpaper designers do you know that have entered a demolition derby?
