Good Questions: Is there such a thing as an attractive whiteboard?

Dear AT,

Is there such a thing as an attractive whiteboard? What I really want is a whiteboard for my entryway to write messages on, but that also has pockets for mail. Help!

Thanks,

B.,

How about something like Pottery Barn's Daily System? You can choose from various modular components like whiteboard, chalkboard, corkboard, whiteboard calendar, letter bin, postman cubby. Even better, they're on sale.

Pottery Barn also has this Message Center.

Another option, if you can do without the whiteboard, is Three by Three's magnetic magazine pocket & memo board.

Any other ideas, anyone?

I found an old -- and large -- 6-pane window (chippy paint and all). I tacked on a piece white-on-white print fabric to the back and now I have a whiteboard. I use regular whiteboard markers on the window side and it works great. The marker wipes right off -- no streaking and no nasty smelling white cleaning needed.
