I’ve been looking for a mailbox or address plaques as a housewarming gift for a friend who recently purchased her first home. I think a nice mail box really lifts the look of a place and an address plaque is important so people can find your house easily. How many times have you driven along a street peering houses and mailboxes that don’t have clearly marked numbers? This was really driven home to me recently when I had to be rushed to ER in an ambulance three times in the space of as many weeks. Our large, visible house number was one of the few in the street. Most of the others are small, hard to read or non-existant.

mailboxandbeyond.com have a great range of premium quality residential mailboxes, offered in a wide range colours. Check out their considerable range of house numbers and address plaques. Several sizes are available, including large, standard and petite.

Mailboxandbeyond.com offer a mailboxes by various manufacturers, including Whitehall products. They also offer discount coupons and a 110% low price guarantee.

A tip for buying address plaques and house numbers: be sure to take into account the scale and color of the plaque so they blend well with the exterior house colors. Consider having the street name on the plaque as well as the house number. Some people also like to have the family name as well.

I’ve been shopping for wall decorations, such as wall hangings and art.  I don’t like crowds so shopping online is my preference.  walldecorandhomeaccents.com is absolutely a one stop shop for wall decor.  They have everything - metal wall art, architectural pieces, clocks - you name it and they are sure to have it.

So what’s metal wall art, I hear you say?  It’s anything from a lovely metal cut out star to a sculpture of a bicycle to a spectacular four piece mural.  I am a bit fan of metal art and sculpture and they have a great selection on this site.  Have a look at the iron wall grilles as well.  They are the latest trend in interior design and they look just stunning. I actually prefer them to a lot of colourful art works as my own interior design is very neutral - lots of natural fibres and earth tones.

I also love wall candle holders as I burn candles every day and have a cat.  The wall holders keep them out of the way and safe.  There are some beautiful wall sconces too - anything from a lovely Turkish style, single candle sconces to sconces that would hold a dozen tea candles.

 One of the things I like best about the site is their design articles and tips blog. Plus, if you sign up for their newsletter, you get a 5% discount on purchases.

Other things to consider are do you want the street name on the plaque as well as the house number, or what about your family or business name?

Their range of mailboxes is big and varied - anything from a wallmounted box to a curbside pedestal mailbox.  They can even custom make a mailbox for you.  There are also high security mailboxes for corporate use.  My favourite are the lovely Victorian mailbox designs.  They also have a lowest price guarantee that is worth checking out.
