Our mailbox was down right ugly... fugly, some might say.... giving it a little TLC has been on my to-do list, and since I'm off for Spring Break this week, it was time to get her done...
Here's a before shot...
Isn't she a beaut... NOT. Some of the wooden slats were loose and would blow off on windy days, and it was all kinds of weather beaten looking...
So, I took off the mailbox, and painted the post with some left over exterior deck paint I had in the basement (which means it's a free paint job, gotta love that!)
I removed the house numbers and spray painted them with an oil-rubbed bronze color (which I already had in the basement as well)... Then I screwed on a new, sparkling-white mailbox :)
It may not be the coolest mailbox you ever did see, but it's ten times better than what we had before.
And, best of all, this was a quick & CHEAP update, all it cost was the price of the new mailbox (about $15 at Lowes)...
