Many people are familiar with the term “curb-appeal”. They have trimmed the bushes, power-washed the driveway and painted the shutters. However, they overlook the one thing that is right their next to the curb, their mailbox.

It never fails to surprise me when I drive by a home worth 400,000 thousand dollars that has an old twenty dollar mailbox. Even if your home isn’t worth half a million dollars, a nice mailbox goes a long way to giving a good first impression.

Of course the easiest option is to head to your local hardware store and buy a new mailbox. Prices for a standard new mailbox range from $30 to $300.

There’s other less expensive options. If it’s still in relatively good condition, just simply painting it could help. Start with a Krylon primer and then paint with a complimentary color, followed by a Polyurethane sealer. If you’d like to add a design I’d recommend Patio Paints by DecoArt. Remember to keep it simple and tasteful however.

Sometimes a new post is what you need. I’ve seen some pretty creative ideas for mailbox posts. PVC piping, metal plumbing pipes, and cement blocks. Creativity does no always equal attractive. Sticking with standard wooden or aluminum posts is a better option.

Last, don’t forget to landscape around your mailbox. Flowers, ornamental grass, or climbing vines can be planted around your mailbox. Keep in mind that you’ll need to keep these trimmed so they don’t impede your mailman’s access.
