Sorry if I mislead you into thinking you could buy it at some tractor supply place somewhere on a dirt road in the country or on eBay, because you can't. Not this one anyways. Nope, this is a one of a kind Flea Market Treasure, and it did'nt always look this good.
See when we got it, it lacked a lot style and color. Heck, even my mailman would drive right by and throw us our junk mail!
But that all changed one day with a little bit of spray paint and some aluminium foil.
Add a little bit of outdoor yellow vinyl for the stripes, a little red on the flag and the tractor mailbox is good to go.
My mailman has even stopped delivering the junk mail. Now if I could only get him to stop delivering the bills!

That is a really cute mailbox- Nice makeover on it. Now if your name was only John Deere you could stencil that on the side!;>) xo Diana
I just noticed the "guy" driving the tractor...how cute is that!?!...Well, that was one talented person who made that mailbox..and another who painted it!!!...So I am assuming that the man driving the tractor is named "John".....Have a great week!!
You did a fantastic job on that mailbox. Wow!
I can't even believe that's the same mailbox. It's soooo cute! And the aluminum foil? What a great idea? You are SO smart and talented!!
I love the way you remodel your mailbox so unique, and with this mailbox you will get a plenty of mail everyday....:)
Love it! John Deere is very popular where I live; I know a lot of people who would love to have this mailbox!
