Well she did it, and I am so proud.  Big Mama made her drapes (it was hard for me not to say curtains right then..why is that?? maybe the phrase “big mama and curtains” just go together, no offense Melanie!)  Anyway…she sort of made them..she mistreated them and y’all, they look great!  See for yourself.

I love that little stool. Great poufing Big Mama… and yes this was NO SEW project and dont forget, the Robert Allen fabric was only $1.99 from Fabric.com. I think she did the entire room for some insane amount like $28!.. here is a closeup.

Read more and see before and after pictures here.  I think she purchased the drapery rod at Lowe’s.  For mistreatment instructions go to the Nesting Place.

Oh, be sure and look…can you identify her husband’s “special object” on the mantle??  It adds that special “Texas Hill Country” touch to the room.

I will have more mantle inspiration later in the week…stay tuned!
