Mail Box Makeover

Does your mail box need a makeover?  Mine did, and it was so easy and made a surprisingly big difference to my home's overall "curb appeal."  Best of all, it's a good feeling to come home and have that perfectly pretty mail box greet me at the drive.  All it took was a new coat of paint on the post and box and some new brushed nickle numbers.  My mail box is really simple so I stuck with one color (with a red flag of course) but I love the contrast of two colors for more elaborate posts/boxes.  I got the numbers from my local hardware store and they came complete with adhesive backing!  This project took about 20 minutes total and under 30 dollars.

Now I'm all ready for this season's party invitations and holiday cards!!
