I would like to see the light.

Thank you all. Here is the light Margo.

Stick with number three, then you would not have to paint anything.

I can be a stickler for detail, so this light to me is more Craftsman/Mission than contemporary. If you are set on this light, I agree with unwantedadvice. Stay with #3 with the benefit of not having to paint. If you change the light and go more contemporary and get black, then I would go with one of the black ones.

Thanks Margo!

Thanks all!

lala6- What did you decide? do not leave us with no mail????

Margo,
I think am going to try to see if I can find a more modern light. If not, I will go with the bronze light and mailbox. I think it is better than having to paint any of the black one. I am just wondering if the combination will not be too much. Perhaps a more simpler and simple mailbox would be best. However, I also like the fact that the brown one is different :). Thanks a lot for your input.

Good post.
