Most of the changes we have done so far are small simple ones. We had to change the lights on the house along with the house numbers. I chose a simple cylinder that shines light up and down. I chose a color that would tie in our dark brown metal roof, love that thing. Modern house numbers are super spendy. So I went down to the local hardware store and picked these up. I sanded then sprayed them a dark bronze color. They don’t match the lights perfect but pretty close. I have always liked the look of raised house numbers. I got some tubing used to connect ice makers and cut it into small pieces and painted them as well. I also had to get some longer stainless screws and just like that I had some modern house numbers.

These were the best deal for the cylinder shape. Most of the other lights this style required you to buy a lenses for the top to keep the elements out. This light came with them. They have been great so far.
