A family-owned metal design and fabrication shop, Boonies Design and Fabrication in Eddystone, has operated in a California desert, and near the Louisiana bayou, but business really took off when they moved to Delaware County, writes Peg Degrassa for the Daily Times.

Co-owner Jayna Roy is a Media native and 2010 graduate of Penncrest High School with an art degree from Tyler School of Art and Architecture.

She met her future husband and co-owner Justin Roy while working in California after college.

They started a furniture-making business until COVID threatened to shut them down.

A line of custom candle holders and going online saved their business.

Two years ago, they moved to a 5,000-square-foot shop in Eddystone.  

They created mushroom-themed bookends, shelves, bureau knobs, and more for their 15-month-old daughter Bobbie’s room.

“We wanted Bobbie to have the coolest room ever, so we mushroom-i-tized it,” laughed Jayna

A TikTok video of the room went viral, prompting a New York Times reporter to include them in an article about the national mushroom trend.

Now business is bustling.

“Once we moved here, everything just seemed to work out and business has grown steadily,” Jayna said, adding she’s happy to be home again.

I gave birth to the sweetest baby girl, Bobbie June, in January. Her nursery is filled with mushroom love from artists & small businesses 💖🍄 #nurseydecor #mushroomdecor #mushroomnursery
