Because I noticed one of these
Yup. I was inspired by the sanitary napkin trash can.
Before you write me off as certifiably crazy, I'll explain. We've need looking for a new mailbox for 3 years now. Ours is old and outdated, and we'd like something sleek and contemporary. When we started looking at mailboxes we were shocked by how pricey they can be!
$79
$149
$318(!!!!)
$79
So when I got back to my office, I jumped on eBay and typed in "sanitary napkin receptacle." Lots of different styles popped up, but I knew what I was looking for: stainless steel, baby. I scrolled through 3/4 of the page before I found exactly what I was looking for! $22 plus $7 for shipping. Can't beat that with a stick!
I mean, come on. Really?
For me, it's a no-brainer.
Our front porch light fixture and house numbers are in oil rubbed bronze, so I may get out my ORB spray paint for this one too. I'm off to make my purchase! You can bet I'll be back with pictures when it arrives.
