Our New Modbox

We installed our new Modbox mailbox last weekend. It’s one of my favorite things.

It couldn’t have been simpler to follow the included directions. I love the paprika and white color scheme, the rakishly angled post, and the red metal flag. It arrived less than a week after we ordered it. If you’re looking for a well-made, modern, American-manufactured mailbox, this is it.

For a font geek like me, it’s cool that the numbers Modbox sells to go with the mailbox are Neutraface, based on architect Richard Neutra’s designs from the mid-20th century. Chuck has used Neutraface in all of his marketing materials and websites for years, so the Modbox people clearly have good taste.

We’ve been adding many finishing touches to the house and I will post a lot of photos soon. Stay tuned.
