A Large Painted House Number On A Brick House: a house log

We simply could not wait another day to share this especially cool house number idea that we spotted downtown a while back (hence the Christmas wreath):

Is not it a strong way to make sure your guests can easily find their way to your door? We think they must have printed out oversized numbers on the computer, cut them out, taped them up on the brick, traced them with a pencil, and filled in their pencil outlines with a bit of two-shades-darker-than-the-house paint. Enjoy it!

Although we hardly think our brick ranch is the right fit for this excellent street number application (somehow a downtown brownstone works a heckova lot better for this hip idea), it truly made us wonder how you folks deal with your house number. Is it simply on your mailbox? Do you have it above your door, next to your door, or even on your door? We have seen some strong homes with house numbers on the front part of their front steps (not the part you walk on, the part that faces the street) and even some with a plaque that is stuck into the ground in a garden. When it comes to the numbers game, how do you folks treat yours? Any house number projects you are looking to take on in the near future? Dish the numeric dirt.

For another strong Hands-on house number idea, check out how Lesley and Jeff brought in one to their cheerfull yellow front door in this House Crashing post from last year (p.s. they lately welcomed an adorable baby boy into their lovely home!).
