As we will have larger sets and more props this year (to celebrate our 25th Halloween house), we added a painting day to the schedule in September. Our focus for this first painting day was to start painting the many Star Wars-y crates and boxes as well as the pieces for our moisture vaporators. Below are shots from the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
