We received a tip from Veronica about this idea over at Apartment Therapy. The comments on their site were very mixed; some people thought it was a super idea while others thought it was needlessly decorative with limited function. I am more in the second camp. I would think that I better way to use these grates would be to put them over an open box on a desk and use the slots to actually organize the letters instead of just shoving them in there. Bonus- the small sections could hold pens and whatnot. What about you LWAers? Any cool mail organization tools or tricks out there that we should know about?
Two advantages of this grate on the wall idea are: if you have very limited space this gets things up off the desk and makes for a decorative but functional element, and, if you are like my mother and get TONS of junk mail, this would really force you to pick through your mail and toss what's not needed.
