We swung by Massage Envy in Leesburg, Va. this week to check on its progress. It is almost done! We are excited to get in there and take pictures as soon as the finishing touches are complete. They are open for business. If you are in the area and need a great massage at an even better price, they fit the bill. Tell them dbd Studio sent you.
