Finally.....a little pretty for our dirt road.Can I just say.....a nice shade of pink spray paint is not easy to find.....and with home improvement stores....a 60-mile round trip.....and having to go back 3 times to find the right shade of pink....well....let's just say this easy and cheap makeover has cost about $16.00 in ugly paint colors.....and $45.60 in gas.
So.....about 180 miles later.....I finally have a soft pink mailbox.....and it just well may be the most expensive mailbox in town.
it's so you!!
ReplyDeleteentirely too cute!
But aren't you glad you did it? It is just lovely!
ReplyDeleteLove this!
ReplyDeleteThis has me smiling all the way to the post office!

ReplyDeleteXO,

but it looks so good! like that you have another pretty pink thing. :)
ReplyDeleteI've emailed you...I miss talking with you. I have a new phone number and don't have yours because my cell phone died. Hope you got it...
Hi Andrea! Love your new pink "Postal Depository"
ReplyDeleteI was so saddened to hear about Ollie! I lost my beloved Victor the finch to a marauding blue bird who managed to pluck him out of his cage and flew away with him to have lunch. Victor was the lunch. But Vivian the other finch is alive and sings like a canary....so maybe Vic was a big pain in the ass.
Things look lovely at the farm, as always!

ReplyDeletePink is such a happy sweet color AND a perfect shade of pink is so hard to find... Looks like you found it... I love it!!! If I was driving down that road and saw that sweet mailbox I must say I would smile from ear to ear.... and I would really want to meet the girl that painted that sweet box...
ReplyDeleteI love it! I'd say WELL worth all that hassle! It looks super pretty!

Loving the pink!
ReplyDeleteIt is so fun and is sure to make you smile!
ReplyDeleteWell it HAS to be just the right shade of pink - otherwise it would look like Barbie's! Your persistence paid off - it is the PERFECT shade:)
ReplyDeletehow sweet! i love it! hope you are well!! susan
ReplyDeleteLove your pretty soft pink mailbox. That's one of my favorite colors. What a cute story. Funny, you have a post on rural mailboxes. Today was the first time I walked out to my new (new to me) rural mailbox to post a letter to my Mom in Kansas. I peeked in twice, admired the vine growing up and put up the red flag!
ReplyDeleteThat pretty mailbox will make any mail carrier smile!
ReplyDeleteAndrea,
ReplyDeleteI had this exact color mailbox at my last home! :)
Know that you are not alone. EVERYTIME we work on something around here it includes a few trips back and forth to the stores miles away.
Your Friend,
Deborah
too funny...
ReplyDeleteyour husband is okay with that eh?
Dear Andrea,
ReplyDeleteSometimes the reward is just worth all the trouble! I'll bet the mailman gets a chuckle every day. I always try to happy-up the place with color. It's amazing how color can affect your mood. I'm looking for the perfect shade of green for my front and side doors. I will probably waste a bit getting there too!
Enjoy!!!
Hugs,
Sherry
feels like a while since I've been here...
ReplyDeleteSO worth the milage - it's a perfect shade.
Any other would be wrong and you'd feel it every time you went past it. Now you can delight in its perfectness!

Oh so cute...and totally worth it!!! At least you now know the perfect shade of pink spray paint.
ReplyDeletelove it!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's perfect!
ReplyDeleteSo Pretty! Love this shade of pink!
ReplyDeleteOh projects like that drive me nuts but at least you finally found the "perfect" pink. I haven't been so lucky with some of the projects over here. :)

But so worth it Andrea. It put a smile on my face...I can only imagine what it does for your passers by!
ReplyDeleteThat is so funny!!! Well worth it though for a cute pink mailbox!! I could just see myself doing that!!
ReplyDeleteI have never seen a pink mailbox and I love it! Which is strange, because I'm not a huge pink fan. It is different and I like different. Great idea.
ReplyDeleteI love your pretty pink mailbox, sigh. I have this linked to my mailboxes post too today, for no other reason except it's lovely!
