Our Mid-Century Modern Mailbox

We're putting the final touches on our front porch. We put in a new mid-century modern front door from Crestview Doors and we hung new mid-century modern house numbers so it was time to tackle the old mailbox.

It wasn't a bad mailbox, it just didn't look right next to all the mid-century modern stuff.

Most of the mid-century mailboxes we considered were from Chiasso. The Postino mid-century mailbox (or Post mailbox as Chiasso calls it) was the number one contender for a while, but after seeing it in person it was a little too small for us. Eventually we landed on the Parcel mailbox as the perfect new mid-century modern mailbox for our home.

It looks great next to the door and it matches our Mad Men door knob perfectly.

And really adds a nice pop of silver to a fairly white area of the front porch.

Before replacing the mailbox, I used to come every night and not even notice the front porch. Now, as I walk up to the front door, I think, "That's a good looking porch." Sometimes it's those small final touches that bring everything together into one good-looking package.

  1. The new mailbox makes a huge difference. You made a great choice. I bought my door knocker from Chiasso a few years ago, and I love their metal and rubber doormats too.

    1. Thanks. We almost got a doormat too, but by the time I went to check out they were sold out.

    1. Thanks. We're really happy with how it looks. I think it does look like it belongs a lot more than the old one.
