Meet Board & Brush Ashburn Owners
Andy & Raquel Gladieux
After serving as a U.S. Navy family for over 25 years, Raquel and Andy decided to switch gears and do something totally different. They both loved serving their country but were yearning to explore more creative endeavors and do something artistic and fun so they decided to open a B&b studio!
The Gladieux’s decided to open their first Board & Brush studio because they love the B&b experience and are true DIYers. They had so much fun during their first workshop while on vacation that they knew immediately they had to bring Board & Brush to their hometown in Virginia. Opening their studios gives them not only family flexibility but also the opportunity to combine their love of DIY projects, working with raw building materials and interacting with customers and other DIY aficionados while growing the B&b family.
Andy and Raquel have been married for over 22 years and have two active teenaged kids, Connor and Carly and an adorable toy Golden Doodle named Penny. They have lived all over the country and have decided to grow some roots in historic Virginia. They enjoy being close to Washington, D.C. and the many cultural activities and history the area has to offer. They have traveled the world but feel nothing compares to the spirit, history, splendor and awe of our National Capital Region.

She was born and raised in Northern Virginia and has watched it grow rapidly over the years. Colleen has always been creative and continues to explore a variety of different mediums from clay, to crochet, to cookies, and now wooden signs! She’s an art teacher by day, and has taught both elementary and high school students over the last eight years. She loves road trips, football season, hiking, and checking out local breweries and wineries. Colleen is excited to share her artistic background and knowledge and bring the DIY experience to Loudoun County!
