We're big fans of the weathered, worn look, and these Found Soda Crates ($15) from Pottery Barn follow the tradition well. Once used to transport sodas to old-school bottle-vending machines and classic restaurants, these crates display the kind of wear that comes from decades of real-life use, and they're just as useful today as they were 50 years ago. Now that's recycling.

The problem with most coat racks is their singular purpose: they only hold coats, and perhaps a bag or two (provided it has straps). Made of powder-coated steel, the Wallter Slat Rack ($145) overcomes this limitation with a unique, quirky modern design that can handle coats, bags, keys, umbrellas — even magazines and mail. It's a perfect one-stop catch-all for your entryway.

This compact ADF (automatic document feeder) scanner helps you declutter your desk and empty your filing cabinet, leaving more room for important stuff. Like snacks.

You can scan in a stack of business cards and populate your address book, or scan in a pile of receipts to auto-track your expenses (export to Quicken, Excel or Quickbooks), or scan in a document and turn it into a searchable PDF. The auto-organization and character recognition technology worked surprisingly well on the Mac unit we've been testing, and is going to make next year's IRS holiday a little easier to deal with. With versions available for Mac OS X and Windows, you'll be able to organize your office no matter if you're a Mac or PC.
