Board & Brush La Jolla, CA is Now Open!

YAY! Please join us in celebrating the grand opening of Board & Brush La Jolla, CA! Studio owners Sam Grissom and Doug Vocelle are such a wonderful addition to our B&b Franchise family, and we can’t wait to see the DIY magic they will bring to the La Jolla community. Welcome, Sam & Doug!

Sam and Doug have been together since 1989, having met during Sam’s last year of medical school. With school and work opportunities, they have lived all over the U.S. from coast to coast, in between, and most recently in Hawaii. After a long career in healthcare, Sam as a physician and Doug as a healthcare administrator, they were both ready to fill their time being social and creative. Sam and Doug have always had a huge fondness for San Diego, even being married at City Hall in 2008, and decided in 2020 it was going to be their forever home.

Despite working long hours in healthcare, Sam and Doug have always enjoyed DIY projects. They first became interested in Board & Brush when Sam’s niece and nephew opened a studio in Knoxville, TN over 3 years ago. The opportunity to have a huge creative outlet while pursuing their desire to be involved and integral members of their community, propelled them to bring Board & Brush to La Jolla. Sam and Doug love animals, having dogs during almost the entirety of their relationship. They also enjoy traveling being fortunate enough to see over 70 countries, often accompanied by family and friends.

Board & Brush La Jolla is located in the Village of La Jolla directly, behind DG Wills Bookstore with driveway access between the bookstore and Lilli‘s. Limited parking directly in front of the studio, with additional on-street parking available. Check out their calendar for events perfect for your next Girls’ Night, Date Night, and more!
