Where to buy ceramic tile house numbers?
My next (small) house project is to put up some fancy house numbers on an outside wall. This being Florida and walls being stucco I was looking for the nice spanish-motif ceramic tiles for the numbers and a nice black metal bracket. I've seen them on several homes around The Villages but haven't been able to find a vendor.
 Not at Hope Depot or Lowes or any of the vendors at the Squares. I could probably find something online but would prefer to see something in person. Any ideas for local stores to check out? Any website suggestions? Thanks for your help.

We have looked at perhaps what you are talking about at a shop in Mt. Dora on the main street on the East side of the street. We have not purchased them yet but have looked at them several times as we go to Mt. Dora. I like them and wife is not sure yet. They have sevaral styles and are all very nice.

Silly idea ..........
This might sound like a silly idea but you mentioned you have seen them around on several houses in the area. Have you though about just stopping by a few of these houses and asking where they purchased these numbers?
Or carry a pad of paper with you in case no one is home and just leaving a note with your question. Seems the easiest way to find out.

not silly at all SABR.... as I walk or bike around I have been looking for "signs" of life at these houses; I finally did catch one guy outside and he said he bought them at the square a few years ago. Not sure I would do the 'leave a note' route. Thanks for the suggestion.
Thanks also to Indy...Mt Dora would be another option. Good excuse for a Road Trip.

Village 07. I have never been arrested and it is on my bucket list.
How about some deep dark night we go around and pry off the right numbers? ONlY from mean peoples' houses. Oh rats. I don't think I have met any mean people in TV. Forget that idea. |

07 - I bought them at Home Depot. They were not with the adress numbers in that aisle, but back on a rack between the custom kitchen area and the tiles. I bought them a few years ago so it's posible they no longer have them, but if they do thy are closer to the tiles.
