New Numbers

Hello!  

Here's another one of our little projects we've done recently- updating our house number.  

When we moved in, they looked like this:


Not bad, but pretty hard to see at night.  (We don't have exterior lights on the front of the house.  It's on the to-do list.)




The first step of our little makeover was taking the numbers down.  We took out the screws, but then had to pry them off with a flat-head screw driver. 


Once they were all down, I spread them out on a tarp.  


Here's what they looked like after 1 coat of oil-rubbed bronze spray paint:


And after 3 coats:
















After a fresh coat of paint on the house and waiting a few hours, the Hubs put it all back up for me.


Looks nice, right?




















We like it.  Hope you do too!
