We had a laugh-filled day installing some interior signage for the new Home2Suites hotel, here in Lee’s Summit. Lots of drilling and leveling patterns. This place will be a great option to stay at when you are in town, plus it even has a laundry!

New neon signs continue to sprout in Downtown Lee's Summit. Thanks to business owners, like Megan at Megan's Yoga Tribe, who invest in themselves and most importantly, their community. These signs send a message that this place matters. That the public spaces in our city are worth investing in. Another great build and install by Ben and the crew! Gama Neon added the pink and white glass and Genesis Powder Coating gave the sign a candy coating!

We are so excited for the opening of Well Read! We made this handpainted sign for their great little store in Downtown Lee's Summit. What a fun character for their shop. Come on out to their opening later this month!

What a day. Lots of stops to look at lots of signs. Ben spent some time in the bucket. We love visiting with business owners about how top shelf signage leads to success!

Fresh from the Design Division of Fossil Forge is this colorful illustrated map! We made this for Bruce and Carolyn, who have a wonderful property they are restoring to its natural Kansas prairie splendor. The map highlights landmarks, animals and trails, some which are named after their grandkids…which is sweet! The map is created with watercolor and pen & ink!

What a special sign! This one is rich in history and story (more to come), but today, it was all about delivery. The Ozark Court once graced the edge of Route 66 near St. Clair, Mo. Built in 1952, our shop was tasked with bringing this beauty back to life. What an honor! Thanks to Ben, Remy and Josh for their sign skills, Greg at Gama Neon for the colorful glasswork and the Route 66 Association of Missouri. On this sizzler of a day, we returned this sizzler of a sign back to Joplin, closer to its home on the Mother Road. What a joy to drive America’s Main Street with this sign…and yes, we got lots of thumbs up!

Next door to the site of a legendary bank robbery, this carved and painted sign for Thrive Once More is looking good! Back in 1866, Jesse James impolitely walked out of the bank with $60,000. But today we added a bright spot to the Liberty Square. Another terrific build and install by Ben and the crew. And thanks to Dr. Anne Morgan for the opportunity to make her business stand out.
