Do your family members come home and drop the mail, keys, book bags and more on the kitchen counter??  This drives the cook crazy!  Why not create a Drop Zone or a landing zone for all that stuff?  Even if you only have a small space, it can be organized.  In the photo below, we used an owner’s entry from the garage to create a great landing zone.  Coats, hats, purses or book bags can go on sturdy and attractive hooks.  A built-in has adjustable shelves for mail, shoes and more.  We love the quad electric receptacle that provides one place to recharge those cell phones and other electronics.  A corner seat gives you a place to sit down and take off your shoes.
