There's something important about how one presents their "landing strip," we think. The very contained spot where you throw your keys, mail, sunglasses...perhaps take a quick look in the mirror before leaving home.
We found Showlola's on Flickr back in March, and now here's Tascjpg's landing strip hopeful. She writes:
Considering this for a landing strip... but the only place for it would be next to the sofa replacing the light colored wood stand.
Hey! That me shopping!
You scouted my flickr page.
As an update, I'm not getting the little black desk. At least that's what I decided before you reminded me of it again!
The desk IS ideal but it just won't fit into my home in a way that makes sense.
I'm having a really hard time figuring out how to do a landing strip in my pad... as the entryway isn't really an entryway

That little space between the living room wall and the wall with the door buzzer/intercom - is my front door.
(door opens up to a wall - and the natural flow pushes me straight to the dining table which is why there is always stuff piled up on it!! - I NEVER eat there)
But I'm thinking of some low profile, lean and mean shelves lined up under the door intercom - to plop keys and I have a three pocket wall sorter to catch and sort mail. The chink in this plan is - in the winter I have to cross the room to get to the light switch. (there is enough light most summer evenings.)
Thanks for indulging my shopping trip!
Any and all ideas welcome!

edit to include realization that in the picture I linked... you do indeed see a light switch that is NOT across the room from the front door.
Sadly, that switch controls the wall outlet where the TV and electronics (inside the credenza) are plugged into.
