Yes, I know - it's only a mailbox. I get that. But still, I left thinking there had to be something better. Later that day during a walk with my husband we strolled past a neighbors yard and I notice he was throwing out some old fence posts. Which got me thinking of a project I wanted to do - making signs with the mileage to both my kids' states. So I scooped up the pieces he was throwing out. They were weathered and wonderful!
And I also noticed that they might also work for our house numbers. So I printed out our address. Painted the wood with white paint (after cutting it to length). . I used transfer paper to copy the address onto the wood and then using some left over paint from our front door and filled in the address, outlining it in black. I sanded and distressed that a bit, and waxed over the whole thing. I used double stick tape to attach it to the mailbox (and this way I can switch it out when I want to do something else for the holidays, etc.) What do you think?
