Yes, I’ve been quite MIA but lets not focus on the negative and get on with the goodness.
I have to say if I were a superhero, my nemesis would be paper clutter and more specifically mail!
I can see the outfit now, I’m thinking something in pink with a letter opener on it and lightening, yes lightening would make it very “official”. Maybe some ruffles?
Ok ok, back on track.
I hate when my entry console looks like this

You caught me, that isn’t really MY entry console. I’m all about being “real” but it gave me hives to think about posting my mess for all to see.
Something had to be done to contain the evil genius that is mail clutter………I’m pretty sure my mail carrier is a sidekick of some sort. So I broke out my big boy power tools and built my secret weapon.
I added not only the holders for mail but clips and space for either important reminders or a calendar.
I’m pretty happy with it, especially considering it’s the first thing I’ve really built completely from scratch and had no directions what.so.ever.
Not to mention the total cost to me for this project was about $5, I don’t think you’d be able to get away with that at Pottery Barn or Ballard Designs!
Now to try and actually get the HB to remember to use it.

I ran into this at DIY show off - it´s so pretty, I want to make something similar :D
Wow! I'm impressed that you made this yourself. What a great idea! If I had any wall space left in our office I would do something similar. Thanks for visiting our blog and leaving your nice comment. I hope you come back to visit soon.
love it! Mail is my enemy too!
This is amazing! If I had any real talent with power tools (rather than just being very accident prone), I'd be all over this... this is great though! So useful and pretty!

I love this. I just did a google search for a DIY mail holder and this popped up. I'm doing it! Thank you for posting, I'd love for you to add your blog to our directory, it would fit perfectly with our "cheap" theme. 500dollarwedding.blogspot.com

I need one of these. My place is way to disorganized with mail.
Is there instructions on how you did this?
