Creative MailboxesA decorating opportunity beyond your porch
Creative mailboxes are not only fun and charming, but they can also be beautiful and unique. I am sometimes amazed at the decorative mailboxes I come across that tell much about the homeowner's personality. While your front porch can add immense curb appeal to your home, your mailbox can add even more personality and warmth to your home. Dave and I are very pleased to show you these pictures of mailboxes provided here by our friends at the Cedar Store. Additionally, the Cedar Store provided the following mailbox ideas that we know you will enjoy.  Mailbox ideas from the Cedar Store Have you ever thought much about your mailbox? If your first thought was about that dreaded bill you're hoping never comes… you're completely off base. How does yours look? Rusty? Dark? Does it just blend in and disappear? If no one besides your mail delivery person has ever noticed your mailbox, in a good way of course, then it might be time to pay it a bit more attention. You may not know this, but mailboxes have evolved right along with the mail. (Can you imagine telling the Pony Express about e-mail?) And, there's no reason that you can't hop on board! First, make sure that your mailbox is a true reflection of you. Just because something is snazzy, doesn't necessarily mean it belongs in your home. What appeals to you? Do you love a rustic, woodsy themed decor? Log cabin mailboxes are very popular, and will make your mail feel right at home!  If you're a little bit more farm and country than rustic and woodsy, how about a barn mailbox?  Train mailboxes will appeal to the kids (or, well, the kids at heart!) receiving letters, of course.  Very popular in coastal towns, light house mailboxes provide that beacon of light to that weary, traveling postal carrier.  But, there are also mailboxes that look like covered bridges, mailboxes with windmills, and even mailboxes that look like, well, a U.S. mail truck! So many creative mailboxes.   No matter what route you choose to take your mailbox, it's just important that you love it. Your mailbox doesn't necessarily have to be ornate, overwhelming, or over-the-top to be fun, funky, and friendly. You will get your mail whether your mailbox is dazzling or drab - but given the choice, why not dazzling? So, play with color, coordinate with your home's accents and your current outdoor furniture, and give your mailbox the attention it deserves. Dave and I thank the Cedar Store for sharing these wonderful creative mailboxes with us. When you decorate your porch, don't overlook the possibilities for your mailbox
