I have place in Yuma, Arizona, where I spend my winters.  When I bought the place it had a tin garden type shed. The shed is 10 X 12' which is a great size for a small shop. The problem was it was too short and I kept banging my head going in and out.  Now I can not afford to many blows to the head.  I decided to lift the shed 1'. (I will do an instructable on the shed lift later.) As a result of the shed lift, the metal sliding doors would no longer work.  I had to replace them with a single plywood door.  I thought, being in the desert, it would be a neat idea to cut out a cactus on the door, put green plexi-glass behind the cactus cut out and light it from behind at night, it does look pretty cool at night. I saved the cactus cut out. 

I know, I know, when is he going to get to the address sign.  Well here we go.  We bought a second place a couple of doors down as a rental unit.  It did not have an address sign, so here is what I did.

I took the cut out of the cactus and painted it green.  I then went to Mexico, which is about 10 minutes away and bought some ceramic number tiles.  you could also get them from most big box hardware stores.  I laid the ceramic tiles on the cactus and traced around them.  I then cut that out of the centre of the cactus.  On the back side of the cactus I screwed on a 1/4" piece of plywood as a backing for the ceramic ties.  I then glued the tiles into the hole I had cut and put clear calking around the tiles.  

In the bottom of the cactus I drilled two holes and friction fit two pieces of round steel about 8" long.   I then bought a cheap plastic plant pot and put the cactus into the pot, filled it about 3/4 full of sand to hold the cactus and covered the rest with rocks.  It turned out way better than I thought it would and have had a ton compliments on it.

You can use your imagination and use a theme that fits the area you live in.  Hope you like the idea.
