We are lucky enough in the new house to have a hall closet and tiny "entry way." Our oh-so organized system of piling up mail anywhere we saw an open spot and opening the many love letters (bills) whenever we needed to use that open spot for something else - was just not working. I created a mail station that helps minimize clutter. I made the IN and OUT boxes using fabric and empty taco shell boxes. I stuck them to the wall over a large can which gives us a space to recycle junk mail immediately. It makes sorting a lot easier and since it is located right when you walk in the house, we see the mail often enough to "deal with it" sooner than we used to! I used all materials we had at home already, so it was a cheap fix but very valuable to our time and sanity!
Here is the original idea for the boxes.
