Hello all!
I'm working on my curb appeal (yes the door is terrible, it?s gone next weekend!) does anyone have some recommendations for house numbers for over the door that is also a font for the decal I?m designing for my sexy new mailbox?

Thanks!

Darling,
The front door looks fine. I'd get rid of the green trim at the top of the door, replace the numerals with some that were designed by Nelson, replace the mailbox with the sweet red model shown (no decal), replace the door mat, and hang up a hub cap.
Your friend,
Aunt Mark

Has the Neutra house numbers.
There are numerous other options out there.

The door...
...is unfortunately worse than it looks!
I actually would keep it, but, 1 of 3 glass panels doesn't match and its pretty flimsy. I'm not trying to match the house (1906 Victorian) but its definitely doesn't 'go' with the outside.
The green trim is going to be painted black, a black enamel pendant light will replace the light, and the rug is only temporary for Faustus to lounge on.
Thanks for the advice on the numbers!

ps grendel, the home looks sweet. Any more snappies of the facade?
Best,
Aunt Mark
ps I was born in 1906, and heard the blues for the first time in 1907.

Heh-heh
No, the door definitely doesn't belong on a Victorian. Perhaps modernist house numerals don't either ? Still, they'd be a clue to the taste of the current occupant, I guess.
By all means put a bird on it !
(PS -- the standard letterspacing of 1465 shown leaves an uncomfortable space after the first figure. Adjusted [hand] spacing would correct that.)
Best wishes. Steve

SDR- I agree about the spacing, it was a poor mock up in Paint!
Yes, the entry way will be a hint as to the MCM wonders inside, think old lady with great lipstick on.
Mark- should you ever find yourself in the NW I insist we listen to some Ella and I'll make French 75s.

What a lovely facade.
So, can I bring along waffle and SDR? I'll bring a batch-o-hooch-and gin, including all ingredients to crank out a few rounds of French75's (Stork Club?) and a small staff to assist us. We'll smoke outside, drink foolishly, and dance until the vinyl melts.
Best,
Aunt Mark

but of course!
any and all, mostly, DAers are welcome! We can do Moscow Mules in copper for the non gin drinkers.
We drooled over everyone's views earlier this week, anyone else want to share their front side?

The Heath ceramic house nhumbers (Neutra and Eames) are both very nice and would look great with your house

Neutra!
Oh ma god those are perfect!
I think I'll be asking people to sponsor a number for a housewarming gift
Leif- I almost bought the same mailbox, the wood on your house is lovely!
