Mail Sorting - Mini Office

We built a "mini-office" right off the living room and kitchen told hold all the various piece of paper and mail that we inevitably collect.  Its also the place where we pay our bills, manage our finances or jointly surf the internet.  We admit that in spite of all this organizing, we still end up with some paper on the kitchen counter and the dining table, but at least we have a place to put it away!  The idea of the mail sorting was taken from the "Not so Big House" book.
