8 Ways to Style a Vintage Mailbox or Postal Tin

Sometimes I get bored with my home decor. There, I said it. (Whew!) A lot of times I'll leave a piece forever without changing it. Not because I'm lazy. (OK, maybe I am just a little Decorating Lazy.) But more because I'm bored and I don't know what to do with it. I'm waiting for that spark, something to move me in a way that says, "Yes! That's it!". Maybe that's why we all love Pinterest so much. We can fantasize that our homes have the potential of looking so much better without ever actually making it look better.
I'm ready for this to change. So I'm challenging myself to take a look at some of the staple vintage inspired pieces in my home and find new ways to give it that umph (is that actually in the dictionary?) they need.
To get out of my decorating rut, I've taken one of my new favorite pieces, a Vintage Inspired Mailbox / Postal Tin and styled it with 8 different looks. Honestly, there are so many different ways you could use this piece. It's Spring right now, so I didn't even pull out any of my Fall or Christmas decor. I'll save that for an addendum to this post. :)
