What started as a birthday celebration with art and woodwork evolved into a family business. “We had a private party for friends and family, at a New Jersey Board and Brush studio, to celebrate Debbie's 60th birthday,” says Laura DiNoia, co-owner of Board and Brush Allentown with Deborah Kouassi. “We had such an awesome time, we decided to open a franchise near our home in the Lehigh Valley.” They offer personalized wood décor workshops and also
private parties. “Board and Brush's goal is to help each guest understand and appreciate each step and each item, including the wood, the knots, the color variations and simple imperfections that goes into making your finished product unique,” says Kouassi. Although guests may enter Board and Brush as novices, they leave with an understanding of raw materials and a love for DIY projects.
