I would use larger numbers on a flat surface of my home … or my business.
Vik R. on 05.07.2012 at 09:31 AM
E. – i would use them on an interior wall. I love decorating with numbers & signage.
Ken G. on 05.07.2012 at 09:31 AM
I wouldn’t, the 3” & 4” mailbox numbers your website offers are just fine.
Paul W. on 05.07.2012 at 09:33 AM
I would use the 6″ numbers for above my garage door. Anything larger I might affix them to stakes and put them in the ground.
Jesse on 05.07.2012 at 09:34 AM
I wouldn’t, the 3” & 4” mailbox numbers your website offers are just fine.
Nate on 05.07.2012 at 09:36 AM
C. Would use them and then highlight using lighting.
Jessica on 05.07.2012 at 09:43 AM
d. It’d be really cool to have on the wall inside our business–in the main lobby area. Over time, our business has become extremely attached to our address–it’s almost become part of our branding, in a way, and is, at the very least, a sentimental feature of our company for the staff.
Wes on 05.07.2012 at 09:46 AM
d – Vinyl seems best suited for business or on a large glass surface. I don’t have a good surface for this application on my home
iamchanelle on 05.07.2012 at 09:48 AM
oooh! would totally display them on a wall as part of a cool frame/number/object grouping inside as well as numbering the exterior of our house. :)
Tom on 05.07.2012 at 09:50 AM
I would use larger numbers on a flat surface of my home above my garage door
Brad on 05.07.2012 at 09:52 AM
c. I think the 12″ numbers would be good on a street facing garage door.
Adam Christiansen on 05.07.2012 at 10:05 AM
I would choose option b and put them on my front door.
Dave D on 05.07.2012 at 10:10 AM
I have actually been looking for a larger set of numbers for next to my door/above my hanging mailbox on my porch.
Ben R. on 05.07.2012 at 10:12 AM
I would use the larger numbers for an art project to hang in my young daughter’s room.
Sarah W. on 05.07.2012 at 10:20 AM
If larger vinyl numbers were available I’d probably use them on our front door or on the small window right above the front door.
Rocky Dawson on 05.07.2012 at 10:22 AM
c. on other flat surface on my home, if so what? I have pillars on my front porch that they could stand out on.
Chad on 05.07.2012 at 10:23 AM
I would put the 12 inch numbers offset on the bottom of my front door.
Sarah on 05.07.2012 at 10:27 AM
B – I’d use them on my front door, where I think they’d look amazing. Thanks for the chance to win!
Krista on 05.07.2012 at 10:35 AM
The 3″ and 4″ numbers are fine, and I’d use them on the support post for my front porch overhang.
dane on 05.07.2012 at 11:10 AM
I’d use the 4″ on my front door (B).
Rosi W. on 05.07.2012 at 11:11 AM
I would definitely use larger numbers on our garage door. Our brick is very dark and the eaves leave huge shadows making our house numbers very hard to see.
Traci on 05.07.2012 at 11:15 AM
b. on my front door
Adam L on 05.07.2012 at 11:15 AM
While the 3″ and 4″ numbers are good, I think larger vinyl numbers, as long as they can bear the elements would be great for above or on the garage door. They provide a great alternative to actually having to install the metal numbers into brick or siding.
Dan on 05.07.2012 at 11:33 AM
a) 4″ numbers on a front surface are just fine.
David on 05.07.2012 at 11:34 AM
C. a beam coming up from our patio’s front wall, just next to our gate…
Chris Bingham on 05.07.2012 at 11:35 AM
c. on other flat surface on my home, if so what?
Nate-O on 05.07.2012 at 11:42 AM
Larger numbers would be good on a transom window above the front door.
Kevin on 05.07.2012 at 11:56 AM
a) 3″ & 4″ numbers are great!
c) on the 1920′s German lap siding next to the front door.
Noah L on 05.07.2012 at 11:58 AM
Larger numbers would be awesome! I’d use them on the inside of my home on the wall! I also think they would look great on the door of a business!
Nicolas Tyhurst on 05.07.2012 at 12:05 PM
on other flat surface on my home, if so what?
Melissa on 05.07.2012 at 12:19 PM
I would use the larger numbers on flat / glass surfaces in my home as decoration.
Lynn on 05.07.2012 at 12:26 PM
C – I would use it on a wall in the computer room in my house for decoration.
Andrea on 05.07.2012 at 12:26 PM
b. on my front door
our house doesn’t really have other flat surfaces outside, so if i wanted a bold impact, i’d put the 8″ or 12″ on the front door.
Michael on 05.07.2012 at 12:28 PM
C. on a square column on the front porch
Scott on 05.07.2012 at 12:34 PM
I’d love to place the vinyl numbers between two panes of glass for a floating effect. I’d either hang the finished unit or mount it to poles that could rise out of the ground or a boulder.
Ashlie on 05.07.2012 at 12:52 PM
I would put them above the garage. Or, vinyl on the mailbox (which I’ve done before, but these numbers are much cooler!).
sharon on 05.07.2012 at 13:03 PM
I would love to put large numbers on my front door. It has a large pane of glass and would look good.
Cheryl Streeter on 05.07.2012 at 13:57 PM
I would use them on the faded address space of my house facing the street.
Alaina on 05.07.2012 at 14:10 PM
My roommate and I have lusted after these Modern House numbers for a while. We live in an apartment so we don’t need exterior number but would, C, hang them on our entry way wall if larger numbers were available. Just our lucky number, 9, to help us start the day off right while we’re headed out the door.
Michael on 05.07.2012 at 14:24 PM
C. On a square column on the front edge of our front porch.
P.S. I couldn’t post this comment from a mobile phone. It kept throwing an error. :(
mands on 05.07.2012 at 14:31 PM
these look amazing! i would love these for a modern touch to the outside of our little traditional looking house!
nancy s on 05.07.2012 at 14:34 PM
a.
We have a mail slot and not a box, I can’t think of anywhere else I would use vinyl numbers.
christopher on 05.07.2012 at 14:42 PM
I would put the 12″ numbers vertically on the edge of my house.
Jane Driver on 05.07.2012 at 14:50 PM
I would put them on colored cubes, lit from within and use them on the front lawn as art.
Chrissie on 05.07.2012 at 15:25 PM
I would use the 6″ numbers on our front address light post
Nikki on 05.07.2012 at 17:16 PM
b. on my front door
Dani miller on 05.07.2012 at 18:19 PM
There are so many ideas! You could use them on a wall to make a homemade modern clock. In kids bed rooms, or even on a flat front door like an apartment to show your apartment number creatively!
Amy B on 05.07.2012 at 18:21 PM
Large vinyl numbers would be too large for my home. “a” is my answer!!
Margaret on 05.07.2012 at 18:23 PM
B! I love the SoCal numbers and could see myself using them on our front door for a classic clean look.
Solducky on 05.07.2012 at 18:25 PM
c. On another flat surface
I think they could look awesome on a really large piece of pottery used as a planter near the mailbox.

Shawn Bankston on 05.07.2012 at 18:58 PM
We have the perfect application for large vinyl letters at the bottom of our stairwell that leads up to our front door. Often times people don’t know that’s how to get to our front door so the large numbers would be a perfect way to signal people in the right direction.
Jessica on 05.07.2012 at 19:26 PM
c. on other flat surface on my home, if so what?
I’d use them on my Garage! From the alley, I can’t tell my garage from my neighbors’… I NEED these!
SL on 05.07.2012 at 19:31 PM
b. On my new front door! WE just moved into our new home and your numbers would be perfect… well, any size really!
Melissa on 05.07.2012 at 20:17 PM
Heck, I would use them on my front door, at my office, and on almost any flat surface in my home. Oooh, like a numbered runner on my hardwood floors. Definitely.
rosemary on 05.07.2012 at 21:15 PM
C. They would look great on my screen wall !
justin price on 05.07.2012 at 21:24 PM
I would use 14″ numbers in the window over my door. and I would spray window frosting to frost the whole window and then peel off the numbers for clear number surrounded by a floated glass.
alex r on 05.07.2012 at 21:25 PM
A
brett vaughan on 05.07.2012 at 21:26 PM
i would want the larger numbers in the circle to use on a flat wall outside by my front door
Jen on 05.07.2012 at 21:58 PM
I’d use them on my front door,,,
Kahlea on 05.07.2012 at 22:10 PM
I would use them to designate room numbers in a university or in hotels.
mary on 05.07.2012 at 22:12 PM
b. on my front door
Jason R on 05.07.2012 at 22:27 PM
E – other. I would use them for an art project.
Andrea on 05.07.2012 at 22:39 PM
B. On my front door
Rachel on 05.07.2012 at 23:30 PM
C! Inside all the way, as a renter that’s my only option!
Chad Quinn on 05.07.2012 at 23:31 PM
I would use them on an interior wall!!
Nanci E on 05.08.2012 at 00:35 AM
I guess my answer is ‘C’.
Instead of the “no soliciting” sign in the side light by our front door, how cool would it be to stack some large vinyl numbers in there?
Sarah on 05.08.2012 at 01:05 AM
b. If I had one, I would use them on a transom window.
Cate Fitt on 05.08.2012 at 07:22 AM
B. I actually need new numbers for my mailbox since painting it. These would be perfect.
Whea7 on 05.08.2012 at 09:16 AM
b – probably on my front door. Either there or on one of the ceiling beams visible from the entrance.
Tanya on 05.08.2012 at 10:34 AM
C. Garage or interior space as decoration.
Kim W on 05.08.2012 at 12:41 PM
c. Big is alwways better! and the possibilities are endless. I would use inside my home or on a custom fabricated sign post.
tk on 05.08.2012 at 13:46 PM
b. on the front door
Sarah on 05.08.2012 at 14:24 PM
B- I would use them on a transom or side light window.
kali on 05.08.2012 at 16:00 PM
The larger numbers would be too big for my house, I don’t have a large flat surface. Love all the other choices!
brandy on 05.08.2012 at 16:04 PM
my answer is A, since the vinyl letters would look weird on siding. we just bought a house in austin, texas, which has no house numbers. so we’d use the aluminum #s to identify our new address!
brandy on 05.08.2012 at 16:05 PM
we just bought a new house in austin texas, that has no house numbers! so, A is our answer (since the vinyl wouldn’t read on our siding). but those aluminum #s would look stunning!
gloria on 05.08.2012 at 16:58 PM
i would definitely use the larger numbers on my garage door.on my front door
gloria on 05.08.2012 at 17:00 PM
yes, i’d absolutely use them on my garage door–maybe in the house too–on storage drawers
ash on 05.08.2012 at 17:04 PM
c. Likely on an interior wall
Lori Baker on 05.08.2012 at 17:51 PM
Love, love, love Modern House Numbers! The large vinyl stickers would be really excellent! Could see them on my kid’s doors, using their birthdate on the door, instead of their names. I like the idea of using them on a wall-sized blackboard, like in the kitchen, to make a To Do list. (1. 2. 3. 4. etc) Also love the idea of numbering stair treads, but maybe not with the large ones.
Rick Wagner on 05.08.2012 at 19:58 PM
d. for my business
Jessica on 05.08.2012 at 21:58 PM
E: I’d use them on an interior wall as a decoration.
Cathy on 05.09.2012 at 02:48 AM
I would use them on my front porch to help add style to our mid-century modern home.
Doug on 05.09.2012 at 03:00 AM
a. I wouldn’t, the 3” & 4” mailbox numbers your website offers are just fine.
I think they’re a good idea but I’d have nowhere to use them. Larger stencils could be useful too though.
JRLeonard on 05.09.2012 at 09:30 AM
C. On other flat surface: Attached just off the garage door, on a low decorative fence or on the very front of the mailbox (single digit address).
Mary Apgar on 05.09.2012 at 13:50 PM
I would use larger vinyl house numbers either on (b) my front door or (c) on another flat surface on my home. They would improve the curb appeal of my home & they would make my home easy to find. I live on a busy street so this is important!
Jennifer on 05.09.2012 at 13:54 PM
C: We have a huge window wall in the front of my house, with an interior wall that faces it. I’d put the numbers on the wall inside the house so you could see them from the outside of the house.
Josephine Reijman on 05.09.2012 at 14:08 PM
D: for my business because hopefully my customers will now see the entrance is around the corner ;-)
Nick on 05.09.2012 at 14:10 PM
c. on other flat surface on my home, if so what?
Lucy Cadena on 05.09.2012 at 15:41 PM
D- For my business.
These are perfect for filing cabinets, since we work on multiple projects. We also use a lot of wall space to organize our projects, so the numbers would really define the areas for each specific project.
Thanks!
Cindy Stofiel on 05.09.2012 at 17:21 PM
e. other – on my truck!
Thatkidthere on 05.10.2012 at 00:50 AM
E. other:
Scattered in an interior fluorescent box, behind the translucent/ faceted plastic. A bit of mystery and plenty of whimsy…
Patti Manes on 05.10.2012 at 09:27 AM
If larger vinyl numbers where available (6”, 8”, or 12”) how would you use them?
I have a see-through overhang over my front door, I would stick them to the top side so that when the sun came through it would cast numeric shadows on the steps at the threshold.
sarah on 05.10.2012 at 09:32 AM
I’d definitely use the smaller mailbox size ones, and if there were bigger ones, I’d put them on the post at the bottom of the stairs.

I would put them on the see-through overhang at my front door so that numeric shadows would be cast on the front door landing.
Liz on 05.10.2012 at 11:47 AM
B – larger vinyl numbers would look great on my new front door!
michael on 05.10.2012 at 11:51 AM
I’d love to use them in a vertical application on the front door. Personally, I’d cut off the bottom 25% or so and align them to the side of the door that opens.
Claire Robinson on 05.10.2012 at 11:52 AM
c. on other flat surface on my home
Probably my stairs up to my porch or perhaps my front door or garage…..
Megan on 05.10.2012 at 12:54 PM
I would use them either on the front door o my house or on my walls inside. I love the idea for using them for other purposes than just the mailbox.
Lesley on 05.10.2012 at 14:47 PM
a. I wouldn’t, the 3” & 4” mailbox numbers your website offers are just fine
although, a blind-emboss effect would be pretty cool if our house had metal surface to lend itself
Justin on 05.11.2012 at 14:00 PM
