Searching For That Perfect New Mailbox

We decided to fix up the house. We did spring cleaning and fixed everything that needed fixing. We replaced the dishwasher and washing machine. We replaced the carpet with brand new wood floors and we painted the outside of our house. We did all of this remodeling ourselves and saved a ton of money. Everything was looking nice, but too nice.

Now we had to clean up our yard and add new flower beds. After all of our hard work, our home was looking beautiful. That is except for our old mailbox that had been dented by one of the neighborhood kids a year ago. We needed a new mailbox to complete our project. My wife wanted to buy a nice new victorian wall mailbox and mount it on our porch. The only problem was our community would not allow this type of mailbox. They wanted us to have a mailbox next to the road just like all our neighbors mailboxes.

My wife saw some cool victorian mailboxes that would meet our community requirements. We looked through the website she found and found the perfect mailbox for our home. My wife was looking through victorian pedestal mailboxes and found one she could not live without. We bought the new mailbox and placed it next to the road. Now our home looks perfect and meets the requirements of our neighborhood. Amazingly, I actually like the new mailbox and realize my wife picked the perfect one for our newly remodeled house.
