Garage Makeover

Even the garage has undergone a makeover for the Halloween party. A great trick for covering up garage walls, tools, and other junk is to hang black plastic from the ceiling. Being a Kenward, we take it a step further and sponge paint blocks on the black plastic to give it a bit of dimension. In the past, Chris has used a car washing sponge to paint blocks. This year, he and Emma went at the painting with a cheap mop. The sponge on the mop was the perfect size and the handle made it easy for stamping paint.





While Chris and Emma were stamping paint in the garage, Josie and I had to do our own painting in the kitchen. She didn't quite understand why she couldn't join in the garage painting festivities.



Without giving away all the garage decorating secrets (we've got to save a little suspense for the party guests) here's a tiny glimpse...

What I wouldn't give to attend your crazy party. Perhaps next year?
Good luck tomorrow!
