...because home doesn't happen overnight.

*THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED.*

Congrats to Jill whose favorite recent mail includes anything from Amazon. Ha!

modbox 1

We live in a township which means we avoid city taxes and must abide by ordinances that help keep property values high such as mowing the lawn regularly, not parking broken down vehicles in the driveway and generally maintaining our home’s appearance. When we were in full on renovation mode, we received a notice from the township regarding peeling paint on the front door, garage door and mailbox post. I found it comical, if not a bit infuriating. Here we were breathing new life into a decrepit property  – removing dead and overgrown trees, installing a new roof and windows, completely updating the interior, etc. – and we were being served a letter for a petty thing like peeling exterior paint. I couldn’t help but thinking that if we had left the trees in place (they completely blocked the view of the house from the road) until some of the major work was finished, the township wouldn’t have even noticed the peeling paint.

Don’t get me wrong. I appreciate the township’s commitment to optimizing property values, but wasn’t it obvious we were working hard to improve the property already? We were addressing more pressing issues and would get to the peeling paint eventually. In the end, to avoid fines, I slapped a few coats of paint on the garage door and mailbox post as a stopgap measure. Steve shuffled around projects so he could tackle the restoration of the original front door. Meanwhile, a full bathroom sat gutted inside the house.

Fast forward four years, we’re finally in a place where we can address little things like a mailbox. (No pun intended.) The mailbox that came with our house had seen better days. It looked like someone had taken a baseball bat to it. The door didn’t close properly, and the flag had fallen off and been “fixed” numerous times. The *painted* wood post was rotted.

I’ve had my eye on Modbox USA, a sleek mailbox reminiscent of midcentury modern designs. I contributed to the Kickstarter program last year and even mentioned it on the blog at one point. The creator Greg, a midcentury design enthusiast, got the idea for the midcentury-inspired mailbox when he stumbled upon an issue of Atomic Ranch in which a reader asked, “Do you know of a good source for ’50s period mailboxes?” The editor replied, “The retro market seems to be wide open.” And an idea was born. The fundraiser was a success, and Steve and I were giddy when the mailbox and post showed up on our doorstep.

modbox install

The mailbox came with installation instructions, and Steve installed it without too much trouble. Due to the depth of the frostline here in Ohio, he did have to add a length of metal rod to the post to avoid shifting. He set the post with concrete in a cardboard form tube then rigged a support system constructed of lumber scraps and clamps to hold the post in place while the concrete cured. Once the concrete had cured, he added the mailbox.

modbox 3

I’ve never been so excited about a mailbox in my life! It’s one of those things you don’t really think about until you make the upgrade. The simple design is perfection. The fabrication is impeccable. The company uses 20 gauge steel which is 75% thicker than today’s standard mailboxes.

modbox 5

Checking the mail has never felt so luxurious. The door has a magnetic closure, and the handle has some heft to it. It’s a far cry from the rusted door we had to yank open and slam shut on our previous mailbox.

modbox 2

The two-tone color highlights the streamlined design. The mailbox is offered in all original Eichler exterior color accents. We went with the eucalyptus and white color scheme to tie in with the metal roof and garage door.

Greg at Modbox USA has agreed to offer up one mailbox to a lucky House*Tweaking reader! No curbside mailbox? No problem. Modbox USA offers wall-mounted mailboxes, too. Find giveaway entry details below.

29.April.2016

MODBOX ME!!! Please!

29.April.2016

MODBOX ME!

I felt the same when I bought my house with some of the requirements the insurance company placed on me. It was already a much better looking house than many on the street on the outside, and they had no sympathy for the fact that there was no heat to 2/3 of the bedrooms (we live in very upstate NY where heating is instrumental in the ability to, you know, live there) or the fact that 50% of the “light fixtures” were bare bulbs, simply because those things were inside the house. These days the exterior is looking mighty fine, but we still don’t have heat to our bedroom.

29.April.2016

modbox me!

MODBOX ME! Best mail lately? A check that had been held in state coffers after we moved from that state – found money!

29.April.2016

We are working on the curb appeal of our 1950’s home currently and I’ve been looking for a new mailbox!

My husband thinks it’s weird but I want to put up a wall mounted mailbox on our front porch just for looks- we receive curbside delivery. I love the look of them on a porch though- under some fancy house numbers!

29.April.2016

Modbox me! Love reaching into the mailbox and pulling out a fresh stack of magazines!

29.April.2016

29.April.2016

I don’t qualify for the draw (I’m in Canada) but I do have to say that I love the wall mounted Modbox I purchased when it was on Kickstarter and can attest to the great colours available and the quality of the mailboxes! I’m waiting for some landscaping to be complete before I install my new mailbox. I can’t wait to get rid of the rusted black box I have now (womp, womp my neighbourhood got converted to a super mailbox so my modbox wont get used too often but I still love it)

29.April.2016

MODBOX ME!

We love MidCentury and would love a new mailbox!

29.April.2016

MODBOX ME! We would love a new mailbox for our casa!
hmmmm…. the best mail we received was a package from eBay. My husband’s grandfather made these nature paperweights in the 70s and every now and then I can find them. It’s great to think that when his grandfather was making them it was almost too futuristic to think of how his adult grandson could be getting one in the mail!

29.April.2016

Modbox me! We recently received an invitation to my brother- and sister-in-law’s adoption shower! We’re so excited to finally meet their little man, hopefully soon!

MODBOX ME!
Love Modbox, and love your blog!

29.April.2016

MODBOX ME!! We just received a pamphlet about our upcoming Disney vacation. The first mail we had received about it! Telling our 5 year old this afternoon.

29.April.2016

In our neighborhood and in life with fraud these days. We have a mailbox that locks. It is a stainless steel box that is super ugly so we built a bird house around it and ordered rusty metal letters and a sun off of etsy. Much better now. No good mail lately.

29.April.2016

MODBOX ME, PLEASE!

Best recent mail would have to be the Hans Solo business card holder my mate ordered for my birthday. Nerdy wonderful surprise? Check.

29.April.2016

MODBOX ME!

We just moved into our forever home that we adore but the mailbox is seriously lacking. We love mid century design and our furniture shows that, so we’d love to add a pop of MCM style to the exterior of our Victorian!

29.April.2016

MODBOX ME, PLEASE!!

29.April.2016

MODBOX ME! Please!!! I’ve had my eye on these for such a long time!

29.April.2016

MODBOX ME! I just got a package of cute clothes I ordered for daughter!

29.April.2016

MODBOX ME! We have been eyeing these since we saw them in Atomic Ranch! We are slowly renovating our 1955 Cliff May home, and will be on a home tour in October. The best mail we’re receiving these days are gifts for our 9 day old daughter! We didn’t find out the sex beforehand, so everyone is so excited to send over bows and ruffles!

29.April.2016

MODBOX ME! Letter showing my student loan had been paid off because of teaching in a low income school.

29.April.2016

Modbox me! Please! I have everything set up to be paperless but Amazon still comes to me in the mail sometimes !

29.April.2016

Modbox me! We have the perfect mid century home for a Modbox!

29.April.2016

MODBOX ME! Our existing mailbox really needs to be replaced, and I really enjoy receiving handwritten notes which would be so much cuter in that mailbox!

29.April.2016

Modbox Meeeee! A small piece of vintage art off of Etsy.

29.April.2016

MODBOX ME! These are a dream.

29.April.2016

Modbox me! My 1960 side split needs this :) and my best mail is anytime I get a thank you note. Makes me feel good and lots of warm vibes from friends and family.

29.April.2016

MODBOX ME! I haven’t received any good mail recently, perhaps a new mailbox will change that!

29.April.2016

I have been seriously crushing on that mailbox for a year!!!!!! Super jealous. Looks incredible. So, MODBOX ME, baby!!! :)

29.April.2016

MODBOX ME!! I had my second child 4 months ago and my sister had her first baby last month. The little one and I went and spent a week with them cooking and cleaning and helping them adjust to their new life together. My sister sent me a beautiful thank you card, which was completely unexpected and so thoughtful. So much better than the usual bills and advertisements which usually fill my mailbox!

29.April.2016

Mod box me please! We just received an invitation for our friends destination wedding.

29.April.2016

MODBOX ME! This would be awesome – ours is GOLD. And not a nice gold. It’s yucky.

29.April.2016

MODBOX ME!

The best mail I have received lately..? A hospital bill. I decided to go back to school and dropped to part-time, losing our great insurance. We now have crap insurance (aka, meet our $6,500 deductible before we pay anything) for the year and my one-year-old decided now would be an awesome time to have xrays, be sedated, and need sutures at the Children’s ED. Anyway, we got the bill and it was way less than we anticipated which is a relief. The fact that my one-year-old is healing nicely is of course the best thing though.

29.April.2016

MODBOX ME! I love the fun designs!

29.April.2016

MODBOX ME! The colors.. so pretty!

29.April.2016

Please, PLEASE Modox Me!

29.April.2016

MODBOX ME!
My 6 month old received his first piece of real mail. So cute

29.April.2016

Modbox me! I’ve seen a few of these in our neighborhood, all attached to well-loved MCMs.

29.April.2016

MODBOX ME! We have a 1960’s flat roof and this wall mount is just am looking for!

29.April.2016

MODBOX ME! Someone backed into our mailbox almost 2 years ago, and the poor sad thing is still sitting there, bent around the post because we have more pressing things going on. Would love this! And best news lately wasnt actually news, but some amazing new shoes I finally treated myself to for mothers day :)

29.April.2016

MODBOX ME. Love the retro mailbox. Best mail would be a wonderful card from my Aunt who I haven’t seen in years.

29.April.2016

MODBOX ME! I love these mailboxes and totally didn’t realize they made wall-mounted boxes, which is what we’d need. I’d also earn major points with my sister by sharing the regular in-ground mailbox with her!

MODBOX ME … please!! :)

29.April.2016

MODBOX ME! These are perfect for our house!

29.April.2016

MODBOX ME! We actually were looking at this company for our new house build. It’s in Northwest Columbus and we’re taking some cues from the Rush Creek Village (designed by a disciple of Frank Lloyd Wright), so this would definitely fit our house to a T! Unfortunately our current mailbox isn’t receiving anything exciting – just the typical bills and junk mail.:-(

29.April.2016

MODBOX ME!

A good friend who lives near me took the time to mail me a package instead of dropping it off. It was a fun surprise!

29.April.2016

MODBOX ME!

Our curb could use a pick-me-up.

29.April.2016

MODBOX ME! I light up when my friends send me mail from abroad.

29.April.2016

MODBOX ME!!!! Please, please

29.April.2016

MODBOX ME! My two daughter’s first passports. We are taking them on their first trip to Europe this summer!

29.April.2016

Modbox me! Looks awesome!

29.April.2016

MODBOX ME!!!! That is the most perfect wall mounted mailbox I have ever seen! We just got an adorable thank you note from my 4 year old nephew! Kid mail is the best!!

29.April.2016

MODBOX ME! The best mail I’ve gotten recently was a wedding invitation to one of my best friends!!

29.April.2016

MODBOX ME!
I received my IKEA catalog in the mail the other day!

29.April.2016

Modbox Me! Great design and my mailbox could use some serious help.

29.April.2016

I don’t need a modbox, since we live in a rustic lake cabin (a far cry from MCM!), but I just want to say how much I like your new mail box! It looks great with the house.

29.April.2016

MODBOX ME! OMG this is SO cute! Very Jetson’s looking. The best mail I’ve ever received are holiday cards from my grandmother. She’s such a thoughtful lady (and the cash inside never hurt ;))

29.April.2016

MODBOX ME! Please. I bought my first house and desperately need a new mailbox.

29.April.2016

Modbox me! Just got some makeup in the mail. A happy little treat :)

29.April.2016

MODBOX ME!!! Best piece of mail that I have received ever in my mailbox was also that the Mortgage had a balance of 0$!

29.April.2016

MODBOX ME! I’ve been eyeing these for a while – so great!

29.April.2016

MODBOX ME! Please. Best mail lately was a thank you card from some sweet friends.

29.April.2016

MODBOX ME! Honestly with three kids under 5, ANY mail that is hand addressed to our family (meaning it’s from someone we know) is crazy exciting around here. We LOVE taking turns opening the envelope, opening the card and hearing what our friend wrote ;)

29.April.2016

MODBOX ME! We are in desperate need of a new mailbox!

29.April.2016

MODBOX ME!

My boyfriend’s grandfather passed unexpectedly and I ordered a number of print photos to surprise him with hard copies of photos he’d seen for the first time at the funeral. It was a wonderful surprise for him to have all of the photos of his grandpa arrive in the mail.

29.April.2016

MODBOX ME!

What a fun Mail Box! Like the modern play, looks great.

29.April.2016

MODBOX ME! (We live in a MCM neighborhood which is rapidly being decimated by the teardown/rebuild 4x the original size trend. It’s so depressing. This mailbox would be a good way to let these investors/builders know what I think of their giant, ugly houses. We love our little mcm house!)

29.April.2016

MODBOX ME! Amazon just notified me that I have some new photography books in the mail box.

MODBOX ME! I’ve been eyeing one of these for months. Finished the main floor remodel (60s rambler) late last year and had to attack the basement/guest room remodel for an unplanned family visit – I’m totally spent! My mailbox is pitiful to say the least but it delivers great mail all the time. Love getting Trader Joe’s Fearless Flyer, full of great options.

29.April.2016

modbox me!!! Perfect for our new to us contemporary ranch.

29.April.2016

MODBOX ME! Ooooh, I hope our current house sells fast and we find our next house fast so I know if we need a wall mount or street one. Our current house has wall mount, but the area we’re hoping to move to has street ones.

29.April.2016

MODBOX ME! Please and Thank you!

29.April.2016

modbox me! Probably the best thing I’ve recently received was my birthday card from my in-laws! They managed to find a card with a woman who looks remarkably like me, posing next to a giant wine glass. All my friends that I texted a photo of the card to thought it was me!!! Also, wine. Mmmm, wine.

For what it’s worth, I’m really entering this for my brother and sister-in-law. They just bought a cute little mid-century rancher in Arlington, VA and this would be awesome for them. My 1930 colonial probably would look a little off with a mod mailbox ;-)

29.April.2016

MODBOX ME!

Our best mail has been RSVP’s for our wedding in June!

29.April.2016

MODBOX ME! Best mail has been some cards from my best friend from high school from 22 years ago.

30.April.2016

MODBOX ME! I’ve had my eye on these since the kickstarter, but have held off due to the price. Our mailbox recently took a bat to the head (darn neighborhood kids getting up to hijinks) and could use some loving and a new face. My best mail lately has been a job offer :)

30.April.2016

MODBOX ME! We’ve been wanting to upgrade our horrific brass mailbox with a clamshell on it (eek)…that way, we can receive our bills in style!

30.April.2016

30.April.2016

MODBOX ME! We are moving next month to the country and could desperately use a curb side mailbox :)

30.April.2016

Ooooh, MODBOX me! This is just what our little MCM ranch house needs too! Looks fantastic.

30.April.2016

30.April.2016

30.April.2016

We need a new mailbox! Loving this unique design .

30.April.2016

MODBOXME pretty please. Ours is so decrepit decrepit.

30.April.2016

MODBOX ME! Best mail I’ve ever gotten is letters from gramps.

30.April.2016

30.April.2016

MODBOX ME!!! What a great looking box!

30.April.2016

01.May.2016

MODBOX ME! We’re revamping our curb appeal this summer and this mailbox would be perfect for our little ranch!

MODBOX ME!
Thanks for this blog post. I just moved into my first house a 1970’s ranch. The sellers replaced the mailbox with a new generic standard and I’ve been looking for something to match the house. That led me to your site. I’ve enjoyed going back through it and especially the reminder that a home doesn’t happen overnight.

01.May.2016

MODBOX ME!!! Best mail was a birth accouncement for my twin nieces!

01.May.2016

MODBOX ME!!! My hubby and I closed on our house on Friday and it has no mailbox! We would love a charming box to add to the updates we are doing at the moment.

01.May.2016

MODBOX ME! The best piece of mail I received recently was a postcard from Japan.

01.May.2016

MODBOX ME! Although a big project makes a big impact, it’s the little changes that add the detail that excite me. If you’re like me, just getting the rod installed put some pep in your step.

01.May.2016

MODBOX ME! A letter from my dad, we live on opposite coasts, and he pops a letter in the mail when he comes across newspaper article he thinks I may enjoy. This most recent letter was to thank me for visiting. It’s always appreciated!

MODBOX ME!

I’ve had my eye on one of these! No more student loan debt!!

01.May.2016

MODBOX ME! We just bought a brick fixer upper in Richmond, VA with the most hideous over-designed supposedly Frank Lloyd Wright inspired mailbox! I swear it’s 5 feet tall and 2 feet wide, it’s crazy! This simple one would go PERFECTLY with the house.

01.May.2016

“MODBOX ME!”
I’ve admired these mailboxes for a long time! So cool

01.May.2016

MODBOX ME!

01.May.2016

MODBOX ME!

It’s my birthday on Tuesday and I just received a parcel from my mother in Australia. I haven’t opened it yet, but judging from the customs form, it’s yet another hideous (beautiful!) hand-knitted hat from her crazy friend. Last year’s was purple lumpy wool with highlights of orange furry tassels.

01.May.2016

MOD BOX ME! I received a piece of art I adore in the mail recently.

MODBOX ME!
Best mail lately was a paid off credit card. woo!

02.May.2016

Modbox Me! No seriously, the snow plow knocked ours over years ago and ever since then it’s been a weekly struggle to get it staying in the ground and accessable for us and the postman. I’m pretty sure it’s about 6″ shorter!
I received a gorgeous wedding invitation that was hand painted by my sister. Pure Art!

02.May.2016

MODBOX ME! LOVE IT.

02.May.2016

MODBOX ME! Our mailbox got hit by a plow this winter and has seen better days. The best mail that sad box has seen recently was a post card from the grand canyon. So pretty.

02.May.2016

MODBOX ME!

Best mail recently, was a birthday card for my daughter from my husbands grandmother – she is convinced that the post office people have x-ray machines that can see cash, so she wraps the $5 in aluminum foil; every time one of my kiddos get cash from her it makes me smile.

MODBOX ME! I have to write more for the comment to work. I’m on vacation next week so I’ll have plenty of time to install my new mailbox. Woohoo!

02.May.2016

MODBOX ME! Renovating an old house without a mailbox… this means that all mail ends up on the porch (in the puttles)

02.May.2016

MODBOX ME! So I can fulfill all my midecntury dreams!! love these little guys!

03.May.2016

MODBOX ME! I know it may seem silly, but we really love when our dog’s BarkBox comes in the mail each month. It’s so fun to watch him because he definitely knows that it is for him! Maybe Cheetah needs the cat version…?!

03.May.2016

Just commenting with a gentle, well-meaning tip that you might want to remove your street number from the photos! Although now that I think about it, I vaguely remember seeing an earlier post about your thoughts on this… either way, I couldn’t help but comment.

03.May.2016

03.May.2016

MODBOX ME! I just received a cute pair of J.Crew sandals in the mail that I bought myself as an early Mother’s Day gift :) They are fantastic!

03.May.2016

MODBOX ME!! Oh man, this is so good!

03.May.2016

MODBOX ME (please)! I have been coveting a MODBOX for my own ’50s ranch since seeing them in Atomic Ranch magazine. Hoping the best for this innovative little company.

03.May.2016

If only we got our mail delivered like this! I would love one. Disliking Canada Post and their “community superboxes” even more right now.

03.May.2016

MODBOX ME! We’re about to buy our first home and I’d love this little touch to make it really ours.

03.May.2016

03.May.2016

Modbox me!! I really need one!

03.May.2016

MODBOX ME! Our new (to us) ranch would look so spiffy with a MCM mailbox like yours. I love it.

03.May.2016

Modbox me!!! This is the mailbox of my dreams. It’s so hard to find a nice, modern mailbox! Best mail lately? Pictures of every child that goes to my son’s school that I took as part of an upcoming fundraiser….they are all so sweet, quirky and happy!

03.May.2016

MODBOX ME! We recently paid off our car and got the title back from the bank. It’s a great feeling to pay off something, even though it was a long cry from our mortgage! :)

03.May.2016

MODBOX ME! I would love to win this! It seems all I get in my mail is catalogs and bills but a fancy new mailbox would make even that more exciting!

03.May.2016

MODBOX ME! I love these!!

03.May.2016

MODBOX ME! Loving the wall mounted mailbox. Would be perfect for our mid century split level. As for best mail lately, new Costco coupons???

03.May.2016

Our fire truck mailbox (which I saved from a trash pile 7 years ago) just fell apart! Help!

03.May.2016

Modbox Me!
Best mail lately, our sons test score results letting us know he gets to stay in his specialty school program for another year!

04.May.2016

MODBOX ME! I just got a birthday card from my boyfriend’s mother letting me know that I am “such a blessing to this family.” What a sweet thing to hear!

04.May.2016

MODBOX ME!!
Easter cards for our kids from nana and papa :)

04.May.2016

MODBOX ME! Okay, so we have a Spanish style home, but I think the red or blue wall mounted mailbox would look better than our sun bleached black one with broken letter tray. Sad. Not the best mail but funny: tax notice for Bling-Bling LP. (Obviously not us.)

04.May.2016

Modbox me! I love cool retro mailboxes. Or 1949 house has a handmade wooden box with standard wood house numbers to match. It’s been on my list of things to replace since we moved in. However, a neighbor came to the door once and said in a very pleased voice, “oh, these are still here! I made them many years ago!” And so I’ve felt a little guilty about replacing them ever since. Lol! Favorite mail lately? A graduation announcement from someone in the place we lived last. A sweet reminder of old friends and how fast kids grow up.

04.May.2016

modbox me! I’d love to win this!

04.May.2016

MODBOX ME! The best mail I received recently was a letter from the IRS stating that the inquiry into my tax return has been closed. Sigh of relief!

04.May.2016

MODBOX ME!

Wedding Gifts!

04.May.2016

Seriously? Do they have that for cats?!

04.May.2016

Yep;)

04.May.2016

Haha!

04.May.2016

TRIPLETS?! You get extra entries just for that.

04.May.2016

That house is sweeeeeeeeet!

04.May.2016

Hey, every little bit helps, right?

04.May.2016

Aw, congrats!

04.May.2016

Congrats and safe travels!

04.May.2016

Haha, too funny.

04.May.2016

Way to go, Jessica!

04.May.2016

That’s wonderful news.

04.May.2016

Whaaaat?! Do you know them?

04.May.2016

I love checking the mailbox, too. It’s almost “me” time.

04.May.2016

Long story short: buying well below our means.

04.May.2016

Working on it… Our garage door needs replaced.

04.May.2016

Awesome! Congrats on the marathon!!

04.May.2016

Fantastic.

04.May.2016

Oh no! That is disappointing :(

04.May.2016

MODBOX ME!
Any mail that isn’t a bill is good mail.

04.May.2016

Woohoo!

04.May.2016

Sometimes, the best gifts are the ones we buy ourselves guilt-free! Good on you.

04.May.2016

How exciting! Love SemiHandmade.

04.May.2016

Oh my gosh, isn’t that the truth?! I feel so accomplished when I swap out an old smelly dish sponge for a new clean one. What an awesome friend you have.

04.May.2016

I’m so sorry for your loss.

04.May.2016

Exciting! Where are you going first?

04.May.2016

Happy belated birthday, Mallory!

Figuring out the budget this month so we can get something on the books in the future!

04.May.2016

MODBOX ME! Best mail received lately- Summer wedding invitations.

04.May.2016

modbox me! We’re starting a remodel and thus would be perfect! Humm the best mail lately would have to be a letter from my penpal who just had her first baby, always great hearing from her.

04.May.2016

MODBOX ME!

I love MCM, was raised in a neighborhood near Eichler homes and covet my copies of Atomic Ranch Magazine. These mailboxes are so perfectly designed. I’m in love.

The best mail I have received lately was from relatives of my (late) best friend, not wanting to lose touch with me after her passing. My heart melted.

04.May.2016

That mailbox is beautiful. I’d love one too! “MODBOX ME!”

04.May.2016

Modbox Me! Yesterday I got a new pillow via USPS!! YAY for fun things in mailboxes.

tia.

04.May.2016

MODBOX ME! The best mail I have received lately is anything that isn’t bills!

04.May.2016

MODBOX ME!

So cool!

04.May.2016

MODBOX ME!

The best mail I received lately was a neighbor’s. Before y’all give me the side-eye, hear me out! I walked the mail down to the neighbor, one street over, and got to meet a sweet lady who regaled me with hilarious stories about our neighbors, past and present! I’ll never look at the lady on the corner the same again!!

04.May.2016

MODBOX ME! “Oh, wow!” My reaction upon seeing this mailbox, every view of it.

04.May.2016

MODBOX ME! I love getting any handwritten mail, so I was super excited to get a thank you card from a cousin and a letter from a college friend in the mail earlier this week.

04.May.2016

MODBOX ME! Pretty please!

04.May.2016

MODBOX ME! Best Mail – New pair of glasses :)

04.May.2016

Yeah, I’ve been admiring this since I saw it last year :) PLEASE MODBOX ME!

04.May.2016

Modbox Me!

Love the letter tray option on the wall mounted boxes. It was just my birthday so I’ve had exciting mail lately including a birthday check for shoe shopping.

04.May.2016

MODBOX ME! just received my very first Mother’s Day card, for my very first Mother’s Day (pregnant!) from my wonderful Mom. Stuck down in the corner of the card, as an aside, she taped the sweetest/saddest quote (with a picture of Pooh & Piglet) that said “If there ever comes a day when we can’t be together, keep me in your heart, I’ll stay there forever” Sob!!!!

04.May.2016

MODBOX ME please!

This mailbox is stunning!! Our mailbox has gotten hit not once, but twice! I would love to replace the poor, dented, lopsided box of shame.

04.May.2016

Modbox me, please! I can’t even begin to tell you how badly my battered mailbox needs an upgrade. We live near a Starbucks and ours has been hit one too many times. *sigh* I promise to send in before/after shots, too!

04.May.2016

“MODBOX ME!”

04.May.2016

MODBOX ME!! Pretty please! The best thing I found in my mailbox was a key to a new mailbox in the other parking lot where I now park. That said, those mailboxes are owned and operated by USPS and I could definitely use a Modbox by my own front door, which is about 200 feet down a steep embankment from where we park!

04.May.2016

MODBOX ME! I’m expecting a baby (due this Saturday!) and the best thing I’ve received lately are baby gifts! Our friends and family have been so generous and we’ve received so many beautiful gifts for baby! ;)

04.May.2016

MODBOX ME!!!!!!!

05.May.2016

MODBOX ME! The best (and most bittersweet) mail we’ve received lately are the birthday cards for my daughter Emerson’s 1st birthday. In some ways, it feels like she was born yesterday, In other ways, it feels like we were never childless :)

05.May.2016

MODBOX ME! I got a cute handmade card on Earth Day announcing an old friend is expecting baby #2. Such happy news!

05.May.2016

MODBOX ME! :) The best mail I received was a letter from my dad after my wedding day. He was so affectionate and caring in that letter. I cried like for a half an hour.

05.May.2016

MODBOX ME! Most exciting mail I received was a wedding card from an old friend I hadn’t talked to in a long time.

05.May.2016

MODBOX ME! I LOVE IT!!!!!1

05.May.2016

MODBOX ME, please!!! I can’t remember the last good thing that came in the mail :(
Maybe that’s because we still have a sad peeling old eyesore.

05.May.2016

MODBOX ME!! Please & thank you!

05.May.2016

MODBOX ME! These are beautiful!

05.May.2016

06.May.2016

MODBOX ME! We just bought a cottage we plan on giving a mid century makeover to. This would be perfect!

06.May.2016

MODBOX ME! thanks!

06.May.2016

MODBOX ME! Our 2-year-old received two dinosaur figures from his Papa. He now regularly has the dinosaurs devour household items… and our faces.

06.May.2016

MODBOX ME! Every year my grandma sends birthday cards to my kids with a crisp two dollar bill inside. My son just got his and said, “It’s like she printed it herself! Not that she would do that.”

06.May.2016

MODBOX ME! Best think I’ve received in the mail lately was a beautiful Mother’s Day card from my Mom. She is the best and her card brought me to tears!

06.May.2016

MODBOX ME!! We desperately need a new wall mounted mailbox, I just pulled out a soaking wet envelope. Our best piece of mail was a $300 refund from the bank.

06.May.2016

Modbox me! Please!

06.May.2016

“MODBOX ME!” Oh, pretty please! We just bought our first home in January. A modest 1632 sq ft home, and I love it. Needs a little work, and a new mailbox. Best post lately… new makeup for Mother’s Day (that I haven’t officially received.) ;)

06.May.2016

MODBOX me! (Well, my house, really…)

06.May.2016

MODBOX ME!

I love the style of these! So fab!

The best piece of mail I’ve seen recently was actually not sent to me. It was addressed to my grandparents 6 years ago, from right after their trip from northern California to LA for my college graduation. My aunt, who was also on the trip with other family members wrote my grandparents a sweet note thanking them for taking the whirlwind trip, despite the fact that they don’t typically fly or travel often. I found it in my grandmother’s things as we were sorting through them last week following her passing, and it meant so much to me to see the loving way that my aunt interacted with my grandparents (her sister has been married to my dad for 29 years, and these are my dad’s parents). It was just a lovely reminder of how much my grandma was cared for by so many people in her life, at a time when I really needed to that comfort.

06.May.2016

“MODBOX ME!

The best piece of mail was a baby shower invite. While I’m not going to be able to go I am so excited for our friends to be having babies. Ours our 3 and 5 so it’s nice that we will not be the only ones with littles at our parties any longer.

06.May.2016

“MODBOX ME!

A baby shower invite has been the best mail lately.

06.May.2016

MODBOX ME! Best mail recently was some really beautiful yarn!

06.May.2016

Modbox me! Love it!!

07.May.2016

07.May.2016

07.May.2016

MODBOX ME! Pretty please!

07.May.2016

MODBOX ME! Looks great!

08.May.2016

MODBOX ME! Received a letter from my cousin congradulating me on my recent graduation :)

08.May.2016

MAILBOX ME! Ours came with the house, rust, giant hand painted numbers and 80s contemporary post and all. It’s hideous!

Best thing to arrive in it though was probably our baby’s passport. His little photo is impossibly cute!

08.May.2016

MODBOX ME! I received a birth announcement of my new nephew.

08.May.2016

MODBOX ME! Pretty please! A thank you note for throwing a friend a baby shower.

08.May.2016

MODBOX ME!!! This would be great!!!

08.May.2016

Mod Box Me! – In love with this mailbox!

26.May.2016

I have a question on your IKEA range hood. Does that vent out through the wall or up into the ceiling? Was that difficult to fit to a sloped ceiling? Thanks for any help you can give me.

01.June.2016

It vents out through the ceiling/roof. My dad advised us on trimming the vent cover to fit the sloped ceiling. (He’s a retired sheet metal foreman.) As I recall, it wasn’t necessarily difficult, just nerve-wracking because we didn’t want to make a bad cut!
