We got ours here: http://www.atlashomewares.com/housenumbers1.html.

Their selection is a bit limited but they had exactly what we were looking for: Metropolitan Retro Modern! They’re kinda Bewitchedy!

Hey Vespabelle, what city? Would love to see a photo. Tracy, that is a great idea and looks great, too! Thanks for sharing.

Yes, definitely legibility for police and fire is a must. We live in a house with numbers on the front, back and the garage — it has access from both an alley and a street far down a hill. So we have a bit of leeway with certain areas.

Our city redid the street naming system in the early twenteth century and most houses have white and black ceramic house numbers. We repaired our numbers because 1) they’re classic! 2)typical for the area and 3) easy to read for guests and more importantly for emergency responders (fire, police.)

I made house numbers out of copper tubing: http://www.flickr.com/photos/24216670@N07/sets/72157605589086482/
