We're big believers in the landing strip - an area inside your front door where keys, mail, and other "outside world" objects live. That said, finding the space in a small apartment to dedicate to this task can be a challenge. This key holder with tray, however, is compact enough to fit in even the tiniest of entries.




wow. I was just over at uncommongoods.com this morning and saw the exact same thing. I even thought, Hey, this would make a good post for AT. You guys are good.
Anyways, its only $40 at uncommongoods

if you live in MA you can get it here for at Abodeon for $36 I think...or 30 something. I used to have this, great if you live with someone else or tend to lose keys/bills

Land strips are definitely a must. I have one similar to this but i use strong small magnets to hold my keys on the front of the letter holder part.
For you Torontonians, I got mine at High Tech on Front St.

We have the old version of this that doesn't have the tray. BTW, I think you should credit the manufacturer/designer. Blomus.

I have been looking for a "landing strip" for my condo, but this is a tad too minimal for my tastes... any other good suggestions??

I think this is a spot on solution. I also have a Delta SkyMiles horror story from this week. Oh well, that belongs on another blog...

Despite "its" not "it's". I sure wish AT would hire a proofreader for y'all.

big deal - a missed comma

I have been looking for something like this for eons. I only have 11" of width to work with for my wall mounted landing strip, and nothing, thus far, has been narrow enough. I always pined after the little teak floating shelves with the slide out drawers, BUT...they were always too wide.
I don't really understand how the key is staying in either. It that just a friction hold? Cuz my keychain makes me look like a janitor, and would not hold! :) Rare earth magnets with a hook would work....
