Looking for that perfect, personalized gift for a new homeowner or bride? Or maybe you are just looking for a fun way to spend an evening with a friend or loved one?

Board & Brush Creative Studio is a new concept and business in Cambridge Square in Ooltewah that lets even the most unskilled crafter create a unique painted wood piece for your own home or as a gift. The business, which is owned by Lauren and Wesley Odum, provides instructors and all materials for the projects, which can be completed on-site in about three hours.

“And you don’t have to clean a thing,” says Wesley Odum. “We do all of that for you. We just want you to come and have a good time.”

The concept is similar to the painting parties offered at DIY art studios around town. Board & Brush swaps the canvas for a piece of wood.
