One of the biggest learnings since becoming a homeowner is how much work goes into a house. There are always projects to tackle and rooms that need love. While it can be hard to be patient and focus on one to-do at a time, it is so rewarding when you successfully finish a job.
Josh and I recently had the outside of our house painted and Hardie board installed. When we originally bought our house it was a yellow-y green color with brown and tan accents. Definitely outdated.
We knew we wanted to breathe some new life into the exterior of the house with colors that better matched our aesthetic. We ended up going with grey-white and a midnight blue to compliment the red brick. I loved how it turned out.
Along with repainting, we also wanted to replace our light fixtures (the old ones were ornate and brassy) and find a new entryway sign to display our house numbers.
At a craft fair a few months ago I stumbled upon Entry Envy, and immediately fell in love with their custom address signs. They’re a female-founded, Omaha-based business that ships nationwide (for free!). All their signs are custom-made, hand-made, and proudly made in the USA. They’re committed to making high quality pieces that will last and you will love.
Working with Entry Envy was so easy. (By far the easiest part of our whole exterior house makeover!) You simply chose a sign shape and color and letter style and color. At $109, the sign is incredibly affordable for a handmade, quality piece. We opted for a horizontal white sign with modern black metal numbers.
Signs take 4-5 days to make and then ship out. Hanging instructions are provided and include links to buy any clips or screws that are necessary. I appreciated how easy this sign was to attach to brick.
What really makes Entry Envy unique is the fact that they offer a monthly subscription to personalize your sign. For $25-$30 a month you can get season decor shipped to your door to spruce up your address plaque. I love how this little pop of red looks against our entryway.
Our sign turned out so good. I absolutely love the exterior of our house now. I’m considering this an incredibly successful home improvement project.
Questions of the Day: Have you painted your house before? Do you have a home address sign? Does the idea of swapping out sign decor monthly appear to you?
I LOVE IT! What a great way to spruce up your doorway. I think I need one of those since the hello sign on my door, the same as yours, melted off. My front door gets so much direct sunlight that the glue holding the flowers to the sign actually melted off. I was so disappointed. Now I have an alternative to try. Thanks!
OMG! How awesome! We moved last summer but I have yet to focus on the entryway. I’ll be stealing a lot of your ideas!
I actually just purchased these exact same letters at Lowe’s recently. Love the idea of having a sign made with them!
What a great way to spruce up an entryway! I love the grey white and midnight blue color against the red bricks. It’s a nice contrast and really lets the entryway shine.
I have to go give this company a closer look! I’ve been wanting to revamp my entryway.
That’s such a cute sign. I love that it’s personalized and adds to the decor.
Indeed, a lot of money goes into the house. As a house owner, I would want a personalized entryway too. I love their custom address signs.
The entryway might be one of the most important spaces in your home. After all, it is what people see first and it is where we welcome our guests.
I love the idea of a personalized entryway. I will definitely check this out.
This is going beyond a welcome mat. I love this personalized entryway.
Such a charming entry sign. It makes your front doorcarea look great
I love the idea. This is such a great way to beautify and personalize our entryway. Adding your personal touch to your decor and style brings uniqueness and customization that can really make your home stand apart from the rest.
That first impression always matters. True even if it’s to your house.
Beautiful entry way decor. This looks like a piece of art!
What a great way to decorate the entryway.
It looks great. Love the large numbering against the white background. They really stand out.
