added by Bud Dietrich, AIA to Off the Beaten Path: Delightful Alcove Spaces
Here's an office space carved out of the walls with just enough room for the basics to keep everyone in the know.
added by Vanessa Brunner to 5 Ways to Make a Better Entrance
2. Make a communication center. Your entryway is the one spot in your home where you are guaranteed to grab a family member's attention. Everyone has to pass by it on their way in and out of the house, so make use of this by putting a bulletin board, calendar, chalkboard or whiteboard nearby. Customize Your Command Center
added by Shawn Gauthier to Straight-Up Advice for Corner Spaces
Sometimes, an extra drawer and a chalkboard are all you need to feel a little bit more sane. Create a built-in nook like in this example to keep track of notes on the board or loose-leaf papers in the drawer.

Idea for the telephone area at corner of stair and closet?
Not this exactly, but I like the idea of a corner unit with pens, notepad, etc to take messages. Also, a dedicated home for the phone and answering machine that is centrally located.

This is a unique way to use dead space. The idea of having a charging sation with a chalk board and/or bulletin board by the enty way is very cool. I think that this is executed far better than AVA's.
