About Bobo's Room
I have been doing custom nursery artwork since early 2006.
While searching for artwork for my daughter's room, I was
disappointed with the lack of options available, so I created my
own. Four years and another rugrat later, I still enjoy
creating one-of-a-kind art that you can hang proudly in your
child's room.
I love the process of creating something truly unique,
personalized and meaningful for your little one's room.
I'd love to hear from you to collaborate on your own custom work
of art.
It All Began with the Nickname...
As soon as the ultrasound confirmed "It's a Girl," my husband
and I embarked on the great name search. While poring over
a name book one afternoon, my husband suggested the name
"Bodacia". We both giggled at the name, and from that
moment on, the little kicker swimming around in Momma's belly
was affectionately called "Bobo" (For those curious, since her
birth, the nickname "Bobo" has stuck but we, sadly, went with a
different first name).
Once the nickname was coined, we set to work decorating the
nursery. Pink and green it was! We had our checklist all ready:
Nursery painted? Check.
Crib assembled and
decorated? Check.
Diapeys stocked? Check.
Walls? Oops. Blank.
I found the perfect crib bedding, but my search for equally
perfect, coordinating artwork proved fruitless. I combed
the internet, but found the choices to be the wrong color, too
cutesy, too feminine, not feminine enough...
I also wanted to inject some of my own interests and
personality into the nursery. I was a foreign languages
major in college and have always loved art, so I began sketching
out some ideas for some French inspired animal art. My
husband collaborated with me in picking out the animals and the
colors, and then we were off. When the paint was dry and
the canvases hung, we stood back and looked.
Bobo's room was complete.
About Me Bobo's Room is one of several pet projects I've got
my hands in. You can read more about them at
Booyah's
Momma.
And,
Yes, Even More About Me...
 Well, okay, my kids, mainly.
My inspiration comes from the two little munchkins I am proud
to say I had a hand in making,
Chip and
Bobo. Raising two kids,
while holding down a full time career and side business is an
adventure, to say the least. These
stories provide a glimpse into the antics, joy and
occasional insanity
that we've discovered come with parenthood.
