Count to Ten, New House Numbers, Guest Project

I think this quick little update is a great idea it is from Jen over at Just for Rachel.
This is what she had to say:  Here are my new house numbers!
They are just wooden squares from any craft store ($0.50 each) with metal house numbers I found at Shoppers Outlet for $2 each.

.

I was having lots of issues trying to find numbers that would fit. The only one's at Home Depot were 4" numbers and I needed 3". I tried painting them on, and it didn't look good (notice the number 4 where I started to paint over it with frustration!?) Then I was going to order some in vinyl from Shelly @ House of Smiths, but I finially found the above ones that fit perfect!
These numbers came brass and I spray painted them Heirloom White. We put them up with finishing nails, and I just used a sharpie to "paint" the nails black :) I do that all the time! I did it on my knobs and hinges, and even I couldn't tell you which ones have it.

Look at the old light fixture, the old house numbers, and brass door bell.
I got my light at a yard sale for $5. It used to be cream, and I primed and painted it black (taking it all apart first).

Here is the new and improved door bell. The inside is still yucky, but all I did was unscrew the cover and spray paint it.

The old house numbers got pried off, and I was able to be reminded of what the original color of our house was. I washed that area, filled the holes with putty, and had to paint 3 coats to cover that beatiful color.
Here is my new front porch. Do you like it?? Much better, huh!
DIY House numbers that only cost $10! Sweet!

Great job Jen!
Have y'all done any outdoor projects lately?
