I don’t even
understand why this is an issue for me, I have been working on the issue and it has gotten better in the last
few months where I look through the mail right away and if I don’t want it I
recycle it. But sometimes I just set it
down, usually on the sofa because it is the first surface I encounter next to
the front door, or it gets placed by the back door. Or the table, coffee table etc.
There is not an entry
way at the front door; you go straight from porch to living room. I haven’t
figured out how to move the furniture in such a way to create the illusion of and
entry was. I think I would need something other than the sectional.
But I still want to create
the functionality of an entry despite the non-defined space. This includes a
shoes rack- the one there is temporary, a place for mail and hooks for
coats. I would also like a mirror and
two pictures but it seems like I am going to have to decide between the two.
For the mail, I had
been looking at standard mail holders but I have not found the ‘right’ one
yet. Then I saw the mail holder that
was made from a shutter, I loved it. And
I already had an unfinished shutter.
First order of business: paint. I made it match the vent.
I used two eyebolts
for the picture wire and used a second piece of picture wire to hold the lattes
in place to hold the mail.
Then it was time for
the test run.
It doesn’t hold
magazines, but does fine with standard mail. If nothing else I hope the mail
makes it in here because I think it is neat.
