Junk Mail
Having four people living in one house we seem to have a constant stack of mail on the kitchen table that needs sorting. Well, we used to have a stack ...
... now we have this!
Last week was pretty laid back at our house, with few responsibilities taking me away from home, so I decided to build a mail sorting station. After a half hour of sketching and determining cut sizes I was ready for a trip to the hardware store to pick up a few pieces of hardware and some plywood. I got home from the store at noon; by 3pm the unit was assembled. Once assembled the entire surface was coated with stain (stain color name: driftwood) and two hooks were attached after the stain dried.
The next morning I brought it inside, hung it and was able to clear the table instantly. Everyone gets their own cubbie, a spot to hang their keys, and theirs even a little shelf to display some of my favorite bud vases. It's so nice to be able to grab the mail, walk in the door, toss it in a basket, and have a clear table ready for dinner.
Next project ... transplanting my 4" cucumber plant seedlings.
Nice work!
ReplyDeleteI spy Midwest Living...that must be your slot! That issue made it into my latest blog post as well. It's a good one. :)
Oh- and by "it's a good one", I meant that issue of Midwest Living...not the blog post.
