Mailbox Update

So what we did with the mailbox was buy some Krylon Dual Paint and Primer (made for metal, wood, & more) in our desired color being Cherry Red (made for indoor or outdoor use)

Hubby spray painted a couple of coats on (dries in 25 min, but you should wait 2 hours before applying each coat) Obviously I wasn't going to use any type of paint while being pregnant so hubby got to help out on this DIY.

After letting it dry at getting all the coats on this is what it looks like

I'm so upset because I couldn't get a good picture. Maybe tomorrow I'll have some better lighting...

And just so you know I plan to do more to our mailbox, but for the time being I can live with it just having a nice paint job. I haven't bought the other supplies yet and I most definitely will not be sharing any hints on what will be coming up next for it. I just hope it looks as good in real life as it does in my head when it's done!

DIY Mailbox

This is our mailbox. It came with the house and honestly I think it's ugly... at least for now. I know that it has potential, but it NEEDS some TLC. 

It's an ugly brown, it's a little rusted, and it's pretty old (at least from the looks of it) Wouldn't surprise me if it was the original mailbox (maybe an over exaggeration) . Our house was built in 1915 so it'd be pretty old. Actually I saw a mailbox on The Wonder Years that looked exactly like ours except for the color and of course there was no rust. 

Anyways we will be doing some DIY on our mailbox and I'll post pictures when my hubby gets the first part finished *BIG smile*
