Snow Plow Casualty?

Deb Savvy — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 00:24:35 +0000

We’ve had a ton of heavy snowfalls in Chicago this winter. More than usual, in my opinion. And with each snowstorm comes the snow removal. If you’re lucky, your street’s been plowed and all you have to face are the 6 foot dirty snow banks on either side of the street. And the possible death of a mailbox.

If your mailbox is currently a dented shadow of its former self, perched atop a dismal frozen pillar of gray snow – well, you’re far from alone. Many mailboxes are lost in the war against winter. Take this as a reminder – order a new mailbox now and you’ll be ready to restore your curb appeal to its pre-blizzard best as soon as weather permits.

Sad and Tired Mailbox

Maybe I’ve been watching too much HGTV, but my mailbox has started to get me down. It’s really diminishing my curb appeal. My house is not for sale, nor do I have any plans to move – so the only curb appeal that’s suffering is my own and that of my guests. But I must admit those experts are absolutely correct. The way your house looks on the outside totally impacts the way you and other people feel when they walk in the door.

Needless to say, I’m surfing for new mailboxes. They’ve got a great selection of mailboxes at Outdoor Decor and they’ve also issued a great discount offer. Outdoor Decor- $5 Off Orders of $60 or More! No coupon code required. Ongoing offer; no expiration date.

Where to Find Hard to Find Hardware

Deb Savvy — Sat, 11 Nov 2006 21:12:37 +0000

Certain things just can’t be found at your neighborhood home improvement store. I needed to replace three decorative cabinet knobs not to long ago, because one had misteriously disappeared. I wasted an entire day running around from store to store trying to find something I liked at a reasonable price. The superstores had a minimal selection and nothing approriate. The specialty decorator hardware stores were simply too expensive.

Knobs and Things sells the most extensive decorative hardware on the internet. They offer low prices on cabinet knobs and pulls, door entry sets, door knob and lever sets, hinges, mailboxes and more. They’ve got luxury brands such as Valli & Valli, Omnia, Rocky Mountain, Top Knobs, and Anne At Home and more mass market brands such as Amerock, Emtek, and Avante Hardware.
