House Number Curb Appeal

May 9, 2015

Our house numbers have always been difficult to see from the road, especially at night. So I thought it would be fun to paint large numbers on the front steps for cute curb appeal and increased visibility!

The first task I had to take on was picking a font! I jumped onto Microsoft Word, typed in my house numbers and started scrolling through fonts to pick out a few favorites.

I was torn between “a” and “e”, but I thought “e” would be easier to cut out and paint because of the sharper corners.

A friend invited me to a gold craft night where the materials needed to “goldify” were supplied and all we had to do was bring something we wanted to make gold!

Knowing the date for the craft night was quickly approaching, I set out to find the materials! I found the jars at Tuesday Morning. I was so excited to stumble across these because I wanted to find something like a mason jar, but more unique … these were perfect! I picked up a set of four, for only $8! Next I headed over to my favorite party store for the animals. They sold 12-packs and also had a bulk section where you could pick and choose individual animals. I bought a pack of safari animals and also picked-up a few dogs from the bulk section.
