Glam Doll Donuts

Are you one of the lucky one’s that’s already had the delicious and eye candy pleasure of experiencing GLAM DOLL DONUTS yet?  Founded by the super fab  duo Teresa Fox and Arwyn Birch whom I have the pleasure of calling girlfriends of mine, the focus is on bringing a truly memorable donut, in an atmosphere that is nothing short of playfully vintage, unique and  memorable.

If you haven’t heard of Glam Doll Donuts yet, You’re welcome!  I can assure you that their donuts are a feast for the senses, a perfect daily taste bud delight that your soul will physically crave once you have one of their signature donuts.  I’m both honored and was privileged enough to be able to Paint and Design the place with the girls of LULU and the dolls.  We had a lot of fun with the place.  Here is my way of sharing a bit of what we did, the only way I know how…VISUALLY!

Welcome to Glam Doll Donuts!

Welcome to Glam Doll Donuts!

So many fun projects on this site.  We had a blast working with the dolls.

Above is the inspiration for the custom tile floor!!!  Doing this saved costs on ripping out existing tile, installing new tile, and kept the old tile out of a landfill.  This was the result:

We were so pumped on how things came out that we played up the design and stenciled the back entry tiles as well.  Each of the stencils was hand cut by our team and stenciled by hand.  SO worth it, for a one of a kind floor.    image

Other elements included, a glitter epoxy floor, glitter counter tops, stenciled ceilings in the GUYS and DOLLS bathrooms, Stenciled table tops… (which actually need to be redone…They never were sealed, we thought we’d have more time before they opened, but what do ya know…the girls open their doors and are an instant success!

“…sort of taboo in our society where individuality is, like, the highest most sacred thing and i pride myself on being very individualistic, but i also love to submit myself to something more important.”- Stephen Alesch”

What an inspiring video to begin the day with.  Its such a delight to be reminded of something larger than ourselves.  In this industry we are continually invited into the homes and establishments of our clients with open arms.  I catch myself getting stressed or bombarded with pressures at times and strive to find that perfect balance of a job well done and taking things to the next level of service.

This video was such a pleasant reminder that its not just walls, or rooms, or spaces, but places that invoke “feelings” .  Just like the food we put into our bodies, our sacred  spaces hold a key to reminding us or taking us somewhere outside of ourselves.

Blessings!
