Personalized Doormats and More

  • Posted on March 24, 2013 at 4:04 pm

Now that spring is somewhat here (though with snow still on the ground, it seems like it’s not ever going to get warm) I have been thinking of ways to spruce up my front porch for the summer and I’m seriously considering a personalized doormat and some other nice little touches. I figure it as home improvement, so the cupboard tin money I save is sort of an investment.

A friend told me that if I ever wanted anything from mail boxes to sundials to look at Whitehall mailboxes and on the site I would find just about anything I’d like to dress up my yard and porch. The good part is, the items I want are in my budget and price range, so that helps a great deal and hey…I can buy more pretty things that I want!

I’d really like to have customized personal address plaques. My address is on the mail box post, but in my opinion, it’s hard to see in the dark. I could install the plaque right under the porch light that is above the door bell on the side of the front door. That way with the light on, the address would be visible from the road. I think that with the plaque being customized, it would add a certain charm and a bit of class to a porch. I’ve got a lot more ideas for the front gardens and the porch/deck so I’m looking forward to ordering and receiving the neat things that will make a person feel welcome!

 

Residential address plaques

  • Posted on June 22, 2012 at 10:20 am

Looking at residential address plaques, I’ve decided that I would like to buy one for my daughter’s new home. She lives way out in the country and I noticed she didn’t have house numbers on her new house. My daughter had mentioned that she gets people stopping by just to either turn around in her driveway or to ask directions to another home. It gets disturbing after so many of these stops, she said. I can understand her point. Also her mail carrier keeps putting her mail in the neighbor down the road’s box.

Some of the personalized address plaques I was looking at are really nice and one of these types would be a special gift. I know my daughter and she likes things of this type, so does her husband. He owns his own concrete company and it comes in handy to have their name and the house number on the plaque.

There are quite a few custom address plaques to choose from. Some are really fancy, but my daughter doesn’t care for anything really over the top when it comes to purchases like this. I’m sure I’ll be able to find the perfect one for her, and am looking forward to surprising her with it.

 

Shopping for classic mailboxes

  • Posted on February 13, 2012 at 11:06 pm

Yes, I am still looking at mailboxes, and have found some perfect classic mailboxes that would good in the front of the house. It has to be by the road, and like I have posted before, mine have been hit or even taken down a lot of times in the winter, since people around here don’t slow down on our road like they are supposed to. I want a mailbox that is very sturdy but nice looking also, since my front yard is a sort of brick walkway, court yard that is also my gardens, where I grow my flowers of all kinds and my herbs.

I was looking at Keystone mail boxes, which are really nice and sturdy it seems. I like the packages they offer and it’s a good price. The rating on them is number one also, which is good to know. The one package I am looking at includes the post, which is mounted into the ground. That is how it would have to be, since the mailbox has to be out by the road.

Gaines mailboxes, also has accessories which are pretty cool. House numbers, which are actually called address plaques, that mount on the front of the house. That would be great. My old mailbox has the house number going down the front of  the post, on a metal piece that is supposed to be seen in the dark, but so many people miss the house or can’t find it, despite of that. I think if I had a larger address plaque on the house also, then people will see it. Plus it looks kind of classy
