It's finally SPRING!
Time to FINALLY get at all the outdoor tasks that were piling up on my new home.
This past Saturday, while I was finishing up some school assignment, I decided to give my mailbox and my exterior light a quick refresh.
This isn't the best picture, but I forgot to take a before photo. This is cropped from another picture.
Before:
Again, I apologize for the poor quality photo. But I hope you can see that they were in pretty bad shape. And the light had ugly yellow glass for the light bulb to shine through.
First I sprayed the mailbox. It wasn't in too rough of shape- it was just an eye sore.
After a couple of coats of Rustoleum's Oil-Rubbed Bronze spray (my absolute fave- I also used it on my interior lights seen here), my mailbox looked brand new.
After:
I then sprayed the exterior light with the same spray paint. I removed the yellow glass, and replaced it with some chicken wire ($3 at Dollarama!)
After:
I'm SO happy with how this quick and easy project turned out! For a $13 can of spray paint (which I can use for other project now as well), and some chicken wire (I probably used 10 cents worth- if even that), I have a brand-new looking mailbox and light!
Thanks so much for stopping in and reading, friends.
Blessings!
