Easy-to-Build DIY Mail Organizer
Updated: Jun. 30, 2017Repurpose an out-of-date accordion closet door and turn it into a central command center for your home. No more piles of mail on the countertop!
After a recent bathroom remodel, this closet door was awaiting the dumpster. But a little elbow grease and some out-of-the-box thinking turns this discarded door into a cool-looking, functional piece of home furniture.
Do the Dirty Work
Add Some Color
Make it Functional
Add Hanging Hardware and Cardboard
Once the door paint is completely dry, flip it over onto a rug to avoid scratches and attach d-hook hanging mounts. (You could skip this step if you are just leaning the door against the wall.) Then hot glue some heavy cardboard to the backside of the shutters so mail doesn’t slip through.
Add Some Personality
Dress it Up
We attached some mismatched house numbers, and a couple nails to hold a printable calendar. This mail organizer is a central command station in the home, so it’s important to include space for a calendar. You could also add a spot for a to-do or grocery list or even use an old computer monitor for a digital display!
