As many of you know, I work from home. What you might not know is that my “office” is in the front of the house visible for everyone. There is no closing the door on the mess that is my office, and it is always accessible and used heavily by the boys. While it’s not always in perfect condition it does need to be somewhat presentable.
One of my bigger problems right now is enough desktop space. The boys like to do homework on the desk but if I have my calendar, a couple bills, and my camera on the desk it seems that there is zero space left. I was SO excited to put up and try out the Wall Manager from Martha Stewart Home Office with Avery, available exclusively from Staples. I actually already use and love some of the Martha Stewart Home Office products in the office and even sometimes in my scrapbooking so I knew I would love the brand.
I’m usually begging Mr. All for the Boys to hang things up for me so they are perfected to his liking (I’m more of a hang it up and eye it sort of person). The way this wall organizer is made is SO smart.
To hang there is a backing with a small amount of adhesive. Use the built in level to get it straight on the wall. The adhesive keeps it in place and you hammer in with included micro nails. SO easy and so awesome. To place multiple squares together you use the alignment marks on each to place them in just the right spot. I can’t tell you how excited I was about this feature. I hung them up perfectly completely by myself.
Since I don’t have a ton of wall space I chose to keep them to the left of me in a row using different accessories to meet my immediate needs. What’s cool is I can change it up whenever I need to!
To the right of where I sit I incorporated the cork board into my little wall gallery. I LOVE getting some of this stuff up on the wall and off the desk, creating a ton more desk space for me and the boys.
The Wall Manager comes in white or black to fit any room. I think this would be perfect for above the boys’ desks in their rooms whenever I get around to getting them! Room desks tend to be smaller and this would definitely help!

i'd use a gift card to buy a huge travel drive for use to back up my files easy peasy.
I could use a wall organizer in my sewing room to organize all the tools and gadgets I use and keep them where they are easy to reach.

I would use it in my living room, which doubles as my office 🙂 Finally put up all this paperwork, files and sticker notes that litter the table 🙂
This would be great in the studio to help organize supplies
I'd have it in the kitchen and I'd purchase another one for the bedroom.
I have a small area where my computer is that needs organizing and a small wall space next to it that would be perfect for this

In the kitchen by the back door would be a perfect spot for this. Keys, notes, all sorts of places to put bills….Perfect!
I would use them in the nook between my kitchen and laundry room to better organize every family member since it is hard to keep up with hectic schedules

I love the wall manager for our home office, it will help a lot to de-clutter the desk and coffee table.

I love seeing how you used your MS wall manager pieces…especially the shelf for the mists. I just bought some of these pieces myself and it's great to get things up OFF my desk to allow for more scrapbooking space. What a great giveaway!!
I work from home as well and my desk is always a mess. There is a perfect spot on the wall by my desk where I would love to put up one of these Wall Organizers!
I’d use them in my office and Organize my Paperwork

I would use this around my computer desk at home to make it much neater!
Put it in the kitchen where we make lists and such before going out
I'd love to have this in my home office. I work from home and there's always so much clutter around my desk. I'd put it right above my computers, that would keep me organized so much better!
I'd use this in my computer room to store notes, pens, paper, and other odds and ends.
OH what a godsend this would be. Right now I have my crafting supplies in paper boxes and plastic tubs, and everytime I go to craft, I'm constantly having to pull down containers to find that one item I need. This organizing unit would enable me to create with abandon having everything I need within arm's reach. LOVE your blog, and have found so many FUN activities for me and my 5 year old grandson. Thanks so much for sharing all of these amazing activities and crafts.
i would use this in our home office to take control of our clutter and all the papers that are scattered about.
I am getting ready to remodel my kitchen and this would look great in my kitchen.

I think it would be used in my den to put weekly shopping lists, ad circulars, coupons and papers I need to reference regularly.

These are so cool. I need these Martha Stewart Home Office with Avery Wall Manager products to better organize my home office. I have piles of receipts, pictures of my kids, recipes, forms, that I want to better organize for Spring cleaning. Those designs are so cool with the flexible boxes . I love that I can rearrange and somewhat design my own space.
