Too loud? Never! It is perfect! I may have to copy you now!!!

It's quite pretty!

Adorable!

Fantastic!

I love it!!!

That is gorgeous. I love it. I bet it will make lots of people smile, especially your letter carrier!

What kind of paint did you use? I'm curious how it will hold up over time.

What ever makes you happy!

I just bought a new locking mail/package delivery center. It's black, after seeing this, I want to paint it, really bad. :)

Nah, not too loud at all. Happy, cheerful and fun

Everyone loves it, and I think it will look great. However, you might wish to consider a bright green for the "flag" as the reason why US mailboxes have a different colour flag is to signal to the postman that there is something to be picked up. Yours blends too well with the red! As I no longer live in the US things may have changed, but I will leave that debate with locally-based US houzzers!

Beautiful! I love it!
I never knew what the flag was for, I guessed it was so the postie could indicate mail has been delivered.

Karen, exterior latex for the base red.... Exterior craft for the flowers, then water based polyurethane .... :)

Cute mailbox, but you should know that polyurethane is not ideal for a finish coat if the mailbox will be out in the sun. UV radiation breaks down polyurethane and it yellows and peels. I've used lacquer or automotive sealer for a durable finish over acrylic paint on a mailbox.

Krosegray..... Thanks for the tip.... Think I can use it now? Over the spray poly?

Oh.... Is Eastwood a good choice?

It's beautiful and makes me wish spring would hurry and get here! FYI, before junk mail, especially in rural areas, people would put the flag up to tell the postman they had mail to be picked up. Otherwise, if he had no mail to deliver he would not stop. :)

Watch out for the HOA if you have one. That's a dangerously individualistic mailbox (very nice though)

Sadly, I have decided against a mailbox and have a P O box. What with identity theft I have decided not to have my mail delivered to my street address.

I remember my mailman from years ago. He knew everybody’s business. He did, on two occasions, save lives when the old timers didn’t meet him at the door and he figured something was amiss.

He also made for me the most gorgeous carved swan which I still have on a table.

jimsha, he would have loved your mailbox.

Good job :)
Very welcoming to the Mail Carrier , now you can make 2 more :) you got Spring and Summer covered ,now you need Fall and Winter .

So pretty and cheerful. It would make me happy to see that on a country drive. Sadly it's the end of an era in Canada where they are phasing out door to door mail delivery.

Santoshauper? You just made me spit my coffee out !!! No HOA .... Live on a little block in a little town. I've heard horror stories of them though. My mom used to live in a community like that, we called it stepford city. :)

I must say I'm overwhelmed by the compliments, thank you all so much !

The elderly and the disabled will be the ones effected the most by this idea of stopping door delivery, especially during the Winter months when its nearly impossible to walk in the cold and snow .

Love it! You must be a happy person. You could use it as your Houzz icon.
