We are nearly finished building this room. When unloading the cabinets from truck, one finished side is scratched up really bad. It is laquered, so fixing it seems to be it's own new problem. I would like to skip the trouble and hide it. I thought of hanging a mirror, although it would be in a bit of an odd spot. (Would a mirror not make more sense by the door?). The other idea I had was to hang a very large (same size as cabinet) cork board and paint it to match cabinet. I can hang kids art from school etc. I'm nervous about making this space look cluttered as it's open to the living area. It does need some decorating and I need some help with where to out what.
Here are a couple of needs:
1. Hide the mess of the scuffed cabinet
2. Mail slots of some kind. We have a lot of mail and can never get a handle on the mess of it. Mail, flyers, etc...ugh! I wondered about hiding the mail in the tiny nook to the right of the double locker. You can't really see that space from any angle which is good.
3. Mirror
4. Art
5. Boot tray

I'll add some pics of some things I have laying around.
Thank you in advance for your thoughts!
