Today I am veering from theme a bit. Instead featuring doors all of one color, I am featuring mail slots.

If you have a solid wood door, you can place the mail slot anywhere, but if you have a paneled door, you'll need to install it on a strong, non-paneled part of the door. Hold the mail slot at the desired height on the interior side of the door, and make a small pencil mark along the bottom of the mail slot. Mail slots are sold at home centers, in home-related catalogs and online (type 'mail slot' in any search engine). Most are made of brass, but they come in a variety of finishes, such as oil-rubbed bronze, satin and antique nickel, satin chrome, and polished brass to coordinate with door hardware.

You see, I live in a neighborhood where our mailboxes are located at the end of our street instead of at the end of our individual driveways. It’s a small street with only seven houses and that’s just the way it’s always been.

I hate it.

As you can imagine, on those evening when you realize at 9pm you never got the mail, instead of being able to skip down the driveway and grab it, I have to trudge down the street.

It bugs me, but what am I going to do?

As a result, one thing that always fascinates me are people who get their mail delivered right through their front door. You know, those mail slots built right into the door…

I love those!

I am going to suspend reality for a moment and not think about the fact that my dog Edgar would go absolutely berserk every time the our Mail Carrier put mail in and I am not going to mention how much the perceived energy loss through the mail opening would cause my husband to complain incessantly… …for now I am just going to showcase lovely doors with mailbox slots.

Enjoy!
