House to Home Project #1: Mailbox Numbers

This past weekend I was able to do one of my House Projects and a few other things. My first house project was to replace the numbers on our mailbox. These are the numbers that were my inspiration:


The Husband had some left over wood from a project he had done so used that for my bases. Instead of buying black numbers, I just used some black vinyl I had left over. The paint I also had already as well as the screws to hang them by so this project was free! Free projects are the best. : ) 

Our new mailbox numbers:



I'm wondering now if I should redo our name.... Maybe another day. 

I was also able to get a few more crosses made this weekend, and decided to hang one from our own door! I do believe this one is now my favorite! 



Here are a few other crosses:


This cross above is a bit different. I don't know if you can tell from the picture, but I tried to have the crystals go along the form of the wood grain. 


For my next House Project, I think I'll try tackling our front porch. There are a few gaps in between the wooden pieces so I think I'll try fixing that. 

Oh! Have I told you I'm thinking of painting our hallway?! In stripes!! Big, fat stripes. Our hallway isn't that long so it won't be a drastic change, just adding a little pop of color! Maybe something like this:

But probably not even that many stripes. I'm excited! That may be coming up soon as well!! : ) 

Enjoy!

Future Projects!

Recently my crafting ideas have turned to things I would like to do around our house to fix it up a little better. As much as I hate to admit it, I think I haven't really been living in our house as if it's our home. For nearly three years, I've been living here waiting for the piece of land where we will be settled; I've been waiting for the house we want to build one day.

That's no way to live.

We live here now. This is our home. And it's time I start acting like it.

So that means it's time to start dressing it up like I live here! I'm getting excited, aren't you?! I've done that a little bit by fixing up our mailbox



and adding these beautiful green shelves,


but now I'm ready to do so much more!! : ) Here are a few of my ideas (all gathered from Pinterest of course! And a few from Lowes):

These are just a few ideas I have right now. Won't our house just look so cute when I get done with it?! : ) You can see more of my Project To Do List here on Pinterest!

Enjoy!

You've got mail!

I do believe our mailbox will be the cutest in town!! Yesterday I decided to decorate our mailbox with vinyl. I used the Cuttin' Up cartridge for the numbers, Printing 101 for our name, and Creative Memories Cheerful Seasons cartridge for the mower and the tree. Isn't it absolutely adorable?!

Even if it is a little crooked.... : )  Enjoy!
