Extra Summer Seating - Thrift Store Steal

Painted or stenciled, you can have some extra summer seating for a song with a few thrift store finds. I grabbed these for $5 each and I love how they gave life to my back patio. Love it!  I used my Cricut and permanent vinyl to make the designs BUT you could just paint and stencil, it's up to you.  Just have fun, use lots of color and MAKE YOUR MARK! 

Watch how to make them here! 

This Ryobi sander saves my life EVERY day! Make sure to give your seats a good sanding before you begin. Trust me on this!

I mixed two colors together for the seat, but one is fine, too! 

Love you all!  x, Mark

 

Vintage Halloween Lanterns!

 Traditions Holiday Stores (awesome stores, btw) totally inspired me to make something for Halloween with a vintage flair.  Fortunately, there are TONS of vintage Halloween images to choose from on the Internet, so you can easily print them out for this project.  Hit the 99c store for 5" x 7" frames and for just a few dollars you can make these gorgeous, glowing lanterns for your table or front porch.  Fill them with battery operated candles and you're good to go!  BTW, I recently got a Cricut Maker and was able to make some super cute pumpkin trim to add a little more flair.   No worries if you don't have one, they will still look amazing!  Have fun this Halloween 

and remember to always Make Your Mark!

 Glowing and gorgeous!

 Add a creepy plastic crow and you're set!
