Show Me Your Digits!


Ever since we moved into our new home a year and half ago, I've been on the hunt for some snazzy digits, house numbers that is. Currently our home can be identified a couple of ways; 1 being the faded curbside painted numbers that are masqueraded by unexplainable greenery...and the other being the daytona blue 350z parked on the driveway.

I really didn't want those plain jane numbers I've seen at the local home improvement retailers; not my cup of tea. But when I came across these drapper house numbers over at www.moremailboxes.com, I was busting out the 'Carlton Dance.' 





With a variety of colors to choose from (not to mention their spiffy names) you can choose from stainless steal to Bougainvillea Pink! Or my personal fav, Bonita Blue. 

And considering all the rain us Los Angelenos are getting, these numbers will never rust!

  4. Those are so cute. I think the blue is my fav too.
    I went to the website and they have a TON of really great mailboxes. I have been looking for one to put up after we paint our house. Lowes and Home Depot seem to have 2 choices each...ugly and uglier. I loved several of the selections here. Thanks for the great link.

  5. These numbers will definitely bring some much needed color to the exterior of our home! Our home is just too beige. ;)

  7. How fun!!!! I think those would look great on your house! I like the blue the best too! Although, I'd die to have PINK house numbers! Dan would kill me first though! haha

  8. Do they have the number 2? Because I would take one of those. Wait...never mind, just did. God bless Raisin Bran...and other high fiber cereals.

  9. I like the idea of having some colorful house numbers to adorn my home...unfortunately, this conflicts with another 'like' of mine...not having my home owners association strapping my balls into a vice

  10. OK...I feel a little bad about the uncuth comments made by Dan and I. So I'm back to make a cleaner joke. (clears throat) ok, here we go:

    Wow...those sure are some colorful numbers. Why, the last time I saw numbers this colorful, I was watching Robert Longbottom’s production of "Bye Bye Birdie" on Broadway.

  11. @Alita: They are available in 5" or 8".

    @Jenn: I would totally go with the pink colored too, but I don't think Chris would concur.

  12. I'm digging these! I think I like bonita blue too, though can anyone really go wrong with key lime?

  13. Definitely a great alternative to the run-of-the-mill numbers. Any of these are sure to turn heads. Also, you might want to invest in an address plaque, you don't see many of those on residences. A very unique way to welcome your guests to your home. Great find, Dolores!I can't wait to see what you choose for your house.
