First weekend off, first project - and it's only 9 am!

Our next project is to paint the door a nice bronze color and we'll be set!

If you look closely in this picture, you can see a pretty icky mailbox with um...interesting, reflective address numbers next to the door. We wanted that gone!
We replaced the black mailbox with this little gem, but needed a way to display our address. Many of the homes in our neighborhood have their address etched into the transom above their doors (or if they're lucky, they still have the original stained glass). Since I wouldn't trust my skills in painting or etching glass, I began my internet search. Bam - Wonderful Graffiti! They have so many great house numbers, I went a little crazy. It was way too difficult to decide. Not only did I have to choose a design, I had to pick a color, too.
We decided we would go with gold and the Lamont House design. I ordered...and waited...and they came yesterday! I climbed out onto my ladder this morning and put them up in about 15 minutes!
Our next project is to paint the door a nice bronze color and we'll be set!

That's my daughter, I think she gets her talent from me, though her Mom may disagree.
You chose the perfect font and design, looks awesome.
