Once upon a time, there was a sad little mailbox. When we purchased our house, said mailbox pretty much reflected the condition of the inside of the house. If you’ve followed along on our money pit series, then you know that it was sad and kind of neglected and needed a little attention. It had probably been sitting there since 1976. It needed a full-on mailbox makeover to say the least.
One day, our door to said mailbox fell off completely, and we were a little worse for wear in the mail department. We’re thrilled to share a little bit of a makeover today when it comes to a stylish new solution with a company that we love. It’s not your typical mailbox and we love the new design!
Mailbox makeover – Here’s the before…
And it was so badly rusted, the door fell off completely by the time we replaced it…
So we decided to cook up a little video of how we did the after: {No worries, we cleaned out the flower bed, and a full-on attack on our much-neglected-yard will happen this Spring}
Mailbox makeover – the video

It’s such a huge change – all our neighbors are asking where we found it!
Where we found it.
The gorgeous custom design from Bold MFG & Supply came right to us, and we love the option that you can either leave it to change in the weather, as steel does, or paint it.
We knew we wanted a little white mailbox again to reflect the new outside of our house {still underway} so we gave it a quick paint job and installed! It’s a game changer, for sure – and we’re pretty positive the mailman is happy with the change, too.
No more mail that falls out… sad and forgotten. We also don’t feel like a nice swift wind would take it out. ;}
This one’s here to stay!
We love Bold MFG and Supply – If you remember, they actually made the beautiful hand rail for the upstairs portion of our house, and we were more than thrilled to have a piece of handmade beauty to add to our walls.
It’s sleek and simple, and you’d be surprised at how many people comment on it when they come for a visit… I think because it’s not something you usually see.
Bold MFG and supply makes quite the array of fabulous stuff for the home, and we love their collection.
From their beautiful fire pits,
To their gorgeous mailboxes,
Awesome modern planters,
And so much more!
Be sure to check out their great selection of goodies on their site! We’ve always loved the touch of something unique and handmade in our home… and this is a wonderful company who executes beautiful work, that we love!
Mailboxes need love too, and we were so glad to give this one quite the much needed facelift.
Have an inspired day!
