House Number By Daylight

Very happy with it. Wouldn't change a thing!
Photo if now I can have figured out how to scramble it.

(Bug-haters, that's probably a cicada at upper left on the attic window frame! Ooooooeeeeeee!)

take pictures of the individual numbers and show them on here in order from lowest to highest.

Ed Skinner said...

Show an example digit -- "one ping only, please".

North said...

Would like to see. And you know my email and I know the numbers. :-)

Looks good.
Front porch from which one can tell them damned kids to keep off the lawn, swing, conveniently close to all sorts of good food...

This is me being jealous.

very nice, and I really like the color choices all around

Guffaw in AZ said...

The place looks great - number, too!

Larry said...

Very nice, and the color combination worked out well.

Divemedic said...

I can clearly see the house number in the bottom picture. You remembered to scramble that one too, right?

Turk Turon said...

Looks great!
Who's that on the porch?

Roberta X said...

That's Tam, hiding behind a book. And Divemedic, both numbers are beyond scrambled.

Jeff said...

Wow! Broad Ripple's a lot farther north than I thought it was! :D

Ed Skinner said...

Gorgeous! When will we see the RobertaXSerif and sans serif fonts?

The Freeholder said...

Roberta, the house looks great--not just the numbers, but they're cool too. Love the colors.

I'm likin' the colors a lot. Being flat, they vary a lot with the light, and really POP! under bright sunlight.

I had high hopes; it's a Behr match to a color from Lowe's and until the actual painting started, I never had the exact shade (or brand) on the house. My nephew's prep work and priming was outstanding and since all the paint was sprayed, it has a very fine texture. (That's Ben Jones, and I know he works the Lafayette and Indianapolis areas: painting, roofing, general repairs. I hope he'll be doing my next roof when it comes time).

The font is a genuine late-1890s Arts & Crafts font, or the basic letterforms are. You saw what I was working from.

North said...

I'm very impressed with all of it. Excellent work!

Hat Trick said...

The house and the numbers look great. Tam looks uncomfortable sitting like that. Maybe put a chaise on the end of the porch so she can stretch out.

Bobbi,

I love the new colors. A very popular color scheme in the arts and crafts neighborhoods around Tulsa these days. And I am particualrly enamored with your A&C font for the address, very classy.

Now I feel slightly guilty for buying a metal number plate. (Although it reads vertically, which perplexes some people, always a delight.)
