Oh where to start. First off, Big Mama is a blog, most of you know that. The second blog I ever read in fact (the first being Boomama, which is probably why I called my first blog, Shabby Mama). All of this to say I think Big Mama and Boomama helped keep Shabby Mama off of the anti-depressants after Baby #1. Seriously, I was working one day in a nice office with big windows and art and then BOOM I was home with a colicky baby.  There was just a little transition. Reading their blogs daily really ministered to me. Don’t laugh, I am serious. They made me laugh and keep a healthy perspective on motherhood.

All of this to say it is a great honor (again I am not kidding. dead. serious.) to help with Big Mama and P’s living room. Mounted deer heads and all.

In fact, we’ve already chosen fabrics. The Robert Allen fabric was a steal! melanie's fabrics draft

Only $1.95 from fabric.com, yep you heard me correctly!  We were so excited.  When we originally saw the fabric it was $6.99 which is a good price but when Melanie went back (and y’all know that is her real name right?!) it was even cheaper.  The bosporous toile which I have used and mentioned before can be found online at House Fabric. Melanie found it at Hobby Lobby and it was a bargain too with their coupon.  It will be big pillows for her sofa and antique church pew.  And yall, Big Mama has a sewing machine.  So this may get interesting.

Stay tuned.

    First, I have loved that toile since I first saw it years ago. I was working at a furniture store, and always tried to work it into people’s homes but it was in upstate NY and nobody liked it! (I’m Southern…we love a good toile.)
    Second, Big Mama and Boo Mama have saved me from my own pity so many days. They brought laughter back into my life. Really. I feel like I owe them something for that…but then I feel like that makes me sound crazy. You know…since we’re all just a bunch of strangers and all!
    I have really enjoyed your blog as well! As a designer that will hopefully soon have to figure out how to balance husband/children/work, you have been a great example.
    Ok…I’ve gone on too long. Can’t wait to see the finished product!
