It was always on the list to re-do, but of course it took me a year and a half to actually get to it. Story of my life ("I'll take her home; I'll spend all night to keep her warm..."). So last week I gave it a scrub down (it was so dirty!) and a coat of spray paint. It was a free update since I had all the paint on hand. Doesn't get much better, people.
Can I get a sigh of relief? So.Much.Better. I think the yellow is so fun with the no-sew triangle banner too:
Has anyone else ever painted a mailbox? Or recently completed a project you've had on your to-do list forever?

So stinkin' cute! Love the bright, cheery color.
ReplyDeleteoh my - too cute! love the yellow.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! That yellow is the perfect color! My husband and I (mostly him) just finished turning a small computer desk into a mobile drink cabinet, something we've been meaning to do FOREVER! We literally just finished putting the last screw in at 10:00 last night. I love taking old things and turning them into something new!

Ours is just a boring one next to the road. Love the bright yellow! It's so cute with your bunting!
ReplyDeleteOoo I love the yellow! Our mailbox is so bad- I'm pretty sure someone just spray painted the entire box/stand black at one point. Ick. A new box is on our to-do list, hopefully this summer!
ReplyDeleteI never even thought of painting our mailbox, but I'm adding that to my list for my next free weekend!! So cute!

ReplyDeleteAdorable... Goodness do I have a lot of DIY projects to complete. My favorite is a "As for me and my house we will serve The Lord." Glass photo picture.

I really like your makeover...it's amazing what a can of spray paint can do to vintage metal stuff. The flags are really cute too :)
ReplyDeleteYay! It's so happy! The house we are buying has one of those plastic mailboxes out by the road. I am totally taking it out and putting in a (Spray painted, customized) metal one when we move in! Glad to see I'm not the only one who cares about their mailbox... ;)
