Address Number Play

Since our house was the only one on our block that did not have an address plate on our mailbox, I decided to make one. It is a brick mailbox, so I used an antique square of ceiling tin. I wanted to keep most of its rusted, rustic patina. I painted the center of the square creamy white and then painted the address in black and polyurethaned it. Of course, the address 111 was sort of boring so I decided to play with it and this is what I came up with.

Someone liked it so much they had me paint a ceiling tin just to hang on their wall. They liked the play on the number 1.

And you're right, some people still don't get it!

But get this, go on over to Kathleen's Faded Charm and have fun looking at all the White Wednesday posts. Thanks again, Kathleen, for hosting! And get this too, go on over to Rory's Tools are for Women Too and look at all the projects on her Modern Craftswoman Monday!
