I am re-vamping a rental home of mine and getting it ready to sell. It was built in the 80's and has one of those globe lights (ugh) and round outside lights attached to the house and old gold numbers. I am changing everything and want some new numbers but can only find ugly numbers at Home Depot, Rona etc. Is there somewhere else that sells funky and or unique house numbers???

Here’s a good source for Modern House Numbers that are made from recycled
aluminum that are also reasonable priced. www.moderndwellnumbers.com
Ooops!
I made my house numbers from a scrap of vinyl siding and nailed them to a tree that was toppled during a winter storm years ago. I made another set for our mailbox, which sets atop a tree stump we stuck in ground. We haven't had our mailbox knocked over by snow plows in as many years.

If you're looking for more modern styled house numbers, there are a few places:

(Design Within Reach is completely overpriced (almost $50 EACH number!), in my opinion. Kind of ironic given their name.)
Lowes has similar ones for waaaay cheaper ($7 each). I know because I just bought some. See them in the pic here:
