Modern House Numbers Sign

Modern House Numbers Sign

In this blog post, I am going to show you how I made the modern house numbers sign of my dreams! Last summer when we finished our exterior home renovation, I never got around to making house numbers. Since I chose so many black and white finishes in and throughout our home, I am working to bring in warmth with wood accents.

My inspiration for this project comes from this sign I found on Pinterest made from concrete. I did use a different font, though. I searched for a modern font I liked and ended up downloading something custom. 1001fonts.com is my go-to website for custom fonts and the one I chose for my numbers is called Carrinady.

DIY House Address On Scroll Saw

The other thing I didn’t like about the modern house numbers sign I found from AllModern (besides the price tag!) was that the numbers were a standard 6″ size. If I was going to DIY, I wanted to make my numbers large and very visible! To make my own house numbers, I cut 1/2 inch thick plywood on my scroll saw in the shape of 7, 1, and 0 that are 8 inches tall! With patience and control, the numbers turned out great! After they got painted black, no one would ever guess they aren’t metal.

Be sure to watch the video at the beginning of this blog post to get all the details on how to make a sign like this! The front elevation of our home is shaping up to be quite attractive! I am planning to begin work on updating the porch this month – look for that in the future. Now if I could only get some grass to grow!

I hope you’ll notice the hearts in our upstairs windows. I would be remiss if I didn’t call attention to the social isolation many in the world are experiencing right now due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Our hearts exemplify solidarity with our community and hope for the future when this crisis is over! As you can see, I’ve got a long list of projects to keep me busy. I hope you’re finding a stride staying at home, too.

Thank you for reading and I hope I’ve inspired you to pin my modern house numbers sign!
