Since organization is one of my New Year’s Resolutions, especially the mail situation, I’m trying to figure out what to do. I’m tired of piling it on the kitchen counter and then tossing it in the tv cabinet when we show the house. I want to leave the kitchen counter clean. So I’m thinking of investing in a small console table to put in the foyer and then a mail organizer on it. Then I can set my purse and keys on that instead of the kitchen counter. But since the house is for sale and I don’t know where we’re moving and what the new house will need yet, I don’t want to invest a lot into a console table. But for now, I’m looking for something that is either white or metal/glass to fit under the stairwell. Here are some options that I did find that I liked:

I’m actually going to a huge Antique Market this weekend, so I’m going to take my tape measure and hope that maybe I’ll discover something there. If not, at least I have these ideas. Which is your favorite?
Here are some foyer pictures that I found in my browsing. I really like that hot pink wall. I wish I could paint a wall that color.

I really like the mirrored console(#2)! I also love the antique look of the table in front of the pink wall.

Hi Sara!That’s one of my favorites too.
I’ve always wanted a mirrored desk or vanity so I think that’s why I’m partial to it. I’m glad I’m not the only one that really likes that one with the pink wall!
