One of the beautiful things about the street we live on is that every house is different. Each home has its own unique style that reflects the people who live there. We wanted to find ways to enhance our own house since we are doing some remodeling anyway. One way we decided to do this was to order an address plaque. We thought it would look nice out in the little garden by the street.
The surprising thing is that the idea came from an unsuspected source. My daughter came up with the idea on her way home from school. She saw that many of our neighbors down the road had address plaques in front of their homes and she wondered why we didn’t have one ourselves. I am glad that she brought the matter to our attention as the addition of the address sign has worked out nicely.
Now we feel that our house has as much character as any of the others on our block. We have had several visitors make a positive comment on the plaque. They say that the sign makes it easy to see our address and find the right house. The sign has also enhanced the way our home looks from the street. I hope we can find more good ideas like this in the future.
