My house number has always been this plain faded black metal number 1 ever since moving in and I always planned to upgrade it somehow, but never did. I thought it might be funny to tack one of those giant foam fingers that say “WE’RE #1” on the post, but Donna wouldn’t let me.
Today when I went grocery shopping this morning I added a can of white spray paint to the cart. My plan was to paint an oval around the 1. I already had a can of black (and now for the life of me can’t remember what I needed it for) to touch up that number 1. When I got done I used a giant black sharpie to out line the oval.
This is the before, hover over the image to see the after.


Wasn’t until I was through that I noticed a bunch of over spray, it was a bit breezy this afternoon. Don’t know I’m going to do about it because I don’t have any of that gray paint left over anywhere. You know one of those giant foam fingers would cover that all up…
