Announcement
Welcome to my shop where I specialize in Decorative Art and Custom Painting.
IMPORTANT That you understand my processing time, so please read the following.
I do NOT accept cancellations due to lack of reading all the available information with regard to my time frame and process.. I do thank you for understanding.
My time frame of typically 10 weeks, is based on current orders already on the schedule.
Due to high demand and the time it takes to complete these hand painted mailboxes, along with unexpected delays that happen in all our lives, please understand this processing time may need to be extended.
If this should need to happen, you will see the updated scheduled ship or delivery date notification.
Whether it is the original ship date or the updated ship date, you will not see another update until your order has been shipped, this will come with a tracking number.. Please note, your order has NOT shipped until you see this tracking number. please ignore any automated notification stating "Your Order Has Shipped" it has not until you see the tracking info and a message directly from me.
YOU ARE NOT JUST PLACING AN "ORDER".. you are having a unique piece of art created and this is not a rushed process. The time you will wait for this to be completed has nothing to do with when it is actually started and completed. in other words, when your order finally comes up the schedule it could take me any where from 5 to 15 hours of time to paint, not including the drying time or layers of sealant to be applied., this is something that depends on the weather being optimal for proper sealing.
*IF YOU HAVE A NEED FOR SOONER SHIPPING PLEASE CONTACT ME BEFORE ORDERING *
I appreciate all of my customers and only wish to bring you the best of my work and a little happiness.
If you are looking for a special and unique gift you might also enjoy my second shop where you will find my artwork on canvas, rocks and also printed on pillows, mugs, and more, and my newest shop Artful And Inspired for inspirational and artfully printed apparel.

5 out of 5 starsI did not receive the mailbox on the date as promised. I notified the seller. The seller explained to me that it was a honest mistake. She then took immediate actions to make a mailbox for me. I received the mailbox on the date as promised. I found her act was very responsible. She did an excellent job. Thanks.

5 out of 5 starsI had been looking for a coastal themed mailbox for quite some time and came across Lisa’s Etsy shop during my search. I saw that it would take some time to receive the mailbox but since I wasn’t in a hurry I didn’t mind. Once received, I was very happy with my purchase. I did have an issue with damage to the mailbox due to the handyman’s sloppy installation however, Lisa was able to repair the mailbox and it’s as good as when I first received it. The negative reviews in regards to shipping speeds are ridiculous. You know going into this purchase it’s going to take a while for the mailbox to be completed. Take those reviews with a grain of salt.

Our Gifts Are Our Tools
HELLO AND WELCOME,
My story begins and ends with being blessed with the gift of loving to create art. My gift has carried me through some very difficult times and I truly believe we all have been given a gift that is to be used like tools to build the life that was meant for us.
I was in my 20's when I opened my first business of nail art, painting tiny custom scenes and pretty designs on fingernails, before I knew it a great deal of my customers had hired me to paint custom themes on their walls, furniture and items like mailboxes.
I soon realized I needed to learn the art of faux finishing and murals, well I fell in love ! The combination of faux finishes and decorative painting became my new business and for the 12 years to follow, until I was involved in an auto accident that changed my course for a bit. I have been blessed once again with the opportunity to do what I love, but this time without having to be on scaffolding and ladders. It is with the greatest appreciation that I make the very best of everyday, to create and use my gift to bring joy and happiness to all that I can, while supporting myself well enough to do so.
UPDATE injected 7/27/2018 This shop has been exactly what I knew it could be, more than a year now since opening and I have learned many things, eager to learn everyday new ways to make improvements and grow. I thank all my customers for their love of my work as well as their confidence in me to give them exactly what they were looking for. I strive to do my very best and give excellent customer service as well as the quality of work that can only come from attention to every aspect of creating including the communication it takes to achieve this.
Thank you for reading my story, I hope you find something that you love, but if you haven't quite found what you are looking for please contact me, I would love to create something unique for you !
Happy regards,
Lisa Kirwan

Frequently asked questions
SHIPPING and PROCESS - How Long will it take to receive my mailbox?
The time it will take to complete and SHIP your order, whether it is custom or made to order, will depend on what the design is and on the current schedule at the time you place your order.
If you will be needing your mailbox by a specific day please contact me and I will give you a realistic time frame so you can make the best purchase decision .
The PROCESS will begin with my understanding of what you would like me to create. If this is a custom piece, please provide me with a photo if you have something you would like me to work with, or simply give me as much detail as possible as to what it is you are looking to have painted.
Communication is key for both parties, therefore answering questions in a timely manner is very important.
Sizes and Styles Of Mailboxes
The sizes and styles available can be seen in the "Item description" of every listing as well as other important details.
Care instructions
Care instructions come with every mailbox. Even though I apply several coats of UV resistant sealer. I always recommend that once a year you give a quick spray with the same sealer, to ward off rusting and to keep your mailbox looking beautiful and not dull.
TO CLEAN ** never use harsh chemical cleaning solution , only damp sponge to clean your mailbox if needed.
Damage .
I would like to assure all my buyers that It is my number one goal to make you happy and have your complete satisfaction. That I will pack and protect your item and (My Art Work) with the utmost consideration and care, and if somehow your item arrives damaged even after all my efforts to pack effectively ..I will certainly make every effort to replace the item as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, things can happen in transit that no seller has any control over.
Has my mailbox shipped yet?
Your estimated shipping date can be seen on your order receipt. If you marked your order as a "gift" you need to contact me or I will not know when your order is needed by. Otherwise It may not be possible to receive your item by the time it is needed. Any item that states "Ready To Ship" will be ready for shipping in 1-2 business days and will depend on the day and time of day your order is placed.
