AS WARMER spring weather arrives in East Tennessee, a safe and effortless location for parties of all kinds lies right at your own back door: Your garage. And with exciting new options available for garage décor and storage, after the shindig you may even forget to go back into the house!
Time to Celebrate
The reasons for gatherings are only limited to your imagination: Children’s birthday parties, bridal showers, baby showers, or watch parties for sports events like the Masters golf tournament or the Kentucky Derby. Pick a theme, or gather family and friends in this hassle-free location “just because.”
Party Prepping
Transforming your garage into a hospitable space yields benefits that you’ll enjoy long after the event. Attractive, stain-resistant Polyaspartic epoxy flooring is easy to clean pre- and post-party. Melamine or powdercoated cabinets hide clutter, and slatwall with hooks and bins allows everything to be hung up neatly and off the floor. Double Duty Décor
Plan your garage storage renovations and accessories to be post-party practical. Install countertops with electrical strips to plug in crock pots, sound systems, and accent lamps. Add a refrigerator to hold drinks, and mount a bottle opener for easy access. Potted plants and flowers placed around the garage door add color and inviting warmth.
Sprucing up your garage for a soirée guarantees a fun time, as well as upgrades that will be useful for years to come. Stop by Knoxville’s own Designer Garages showroom, and let the party planning begin!

The Benefits of Grooming
EVERYONE LOVES having clean hair and skin. Our dogs deserve the same treatment, as proper hygiene is essential! They give us unconditional love, and it’s up to us to ensure their health and well-being. Dogs have a natural tendency to groom their own fur and try to remove debris from their toes, but they can’t bathe themselves, trim their own toenails, or clean their own ears. We must be loving and diligent in their upkeep and grooming. Grooming sessions should be enjoyable like a spa day, not a mass production. Most dogs love being caressed and respond to touch positively, so at Ms. C’s Bed & Biscuits, our groomer takes his time, providing a calming, relaxing environment. Haircuts, shampooing, and drying are aimed at keeping your dog’s skin and fur healthy and beautiful. While bathing your pet, he has the opportunity to inspect for any unusual growths or other problems and can alert you if a trip to veterinarian is needed. Regular grooming prevents painful hair matting which can pull on skin, leading to sores and infections.
At home, never try to cut out your dog’s hair mats - leave that to the professional groomer! To clean soiled hair from private areas, grooming is also the answer. Older pets can benefit from extra massage to soothe aches and pains. Grooming is more than simply making your pup look better - it is an integral part of caring for your dog’s health.
Your dog gives you unreserved love, so a day at the spa is in line for him! Call Ms. C’s Bed & Biscuits at 865-986-6325 to reserve your dog’s day at the spa. Pets are our kids! We will treat your dog as our own, with individual love and attention. For more information, visit our website at www.MsCsBedandBiscuits.com.
