Birds are chirping, pale pink tree buds are about to pop–now’s the time to add a little spit ‘n polish to your front stoop. Whether your entrance is expansive and covered or a basic, walk-up apartment-style entry, it’s all in the details for this TMS make-it-pretty mission.
You’ve got mail
Who cares how many of your bank statements are now delivered electronically, there’s something so charming (and convenient) about the perfect post box.
I love the desert hue of this mailbox, a collab between celebrated Québec lighting brand Luminaire Authentik and Canadian retailer Simons. Also available in Glossy Barista and Glossy Canyon.
And here’s your less expensive dupe. Extra points for the gold French tip to match your manicure.
If something that locks and can accommodate larger envelopes is in order, consider a departure from basic black with something fresh, white and well-priced – like this version. And I dig the viewfinder!
In my Vancouver beach neighbourhood, Porch Pirate is an actual job title. This next level locking mailbox (translation: bank vault) is perfect for those of us who receive a large amount of box-style deliveries–that we actually want to receive.

What’s your number?
I’ve always had a thing for handsome house numbers. They can take an entrance from 0 to 100 faster than any other exterior improvement, and for a comparable drop in the budget bucket.
These individual house numbers are 9” tall, made in Canada and have a contemporary ‘floating’ effect.
Four inches smaller than the above Simons version, but same effect–and wallet friendlier.
Looking for a one-and-done? Meet the solar powered, light-up address plaque. Boom. Done.

Meet and greet
We can all agree that this rooster is awesome, but what is also awesome is the layered effect of these front door mats. One is washable and eye-pleasing, the other is rooted in necessity. And while I would personally choose my small mat with no lettering or frills, the concept is still high impact.
Available in a variety of sizes, this washable cotton mat will work for indoor/outdoor, balconies, kitchen, you name it. And who doesn’t love a stripe?
A plant stand at the front door says ‘nice people live here’. This version from Article is called the Marais and comes in a taller design – as well as taupe and black options.
A completely charming and low-cost addition to any covered front entrance is housing your pot inside a basket. Also a clever use for market totes with minor wear or holes that are no longer suitable to carry. This Canadian Tire tote can garage an unsightly pot and add texture and warmth to any front door-scape.
