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 live in a very small one bedroom condo. My "office" is in my bedroom and utilizing space is VITAL!! I not only use my office for personal use, I now have a new blog, and I use it for official business for the condo association where I live. I need more writing space for sure. How fun would it be, and practical, to have a revitalized space!
I'd use them to organize my art room! It's completely cluttered and sometimes I can hardly find the brushes I need, ah!

I would use it in my boys homework desk it would help make it alot more organized 🙂
I'd use it on the wall beside my desk in my bedroom. It would get the junk OFF of my desk for a change.
I would use this in my bedroom. I don't have an office or even room for a desk in my living room. At the moment the stuff I use most like my calendar, bills, coupons, etc is in a pile on my bedside table and the rest of the stuff like checks, new pads of paper, stapler, etc is in a box at the end of my bed. It would be so nice for everything to have a 'home' so I could find it when I need it.
i would use this by the front door to organize keys, mail, etc.

I would mount this lovely organizer above my desk in our homeschooling room, as I am always looking for ways to keep stuff off my desk and out reach of my 4 children. Thanks for offering this giveaway!
we need a place to put all the bills that are due for the month.
In my craft room because it needs more organization!
This is exactly what I need. I would use it in my computer room and have more space on my desk.

I would set up in the kitchen since I only have a small space to use as an office.
I would love to use these products for my home office – it needs some organizing!

What really struck me about this system is how it works for a variety of interests. As a sewer, crafter, and mixed media mess maker I have supplies and tools that are used in several areas and I am always searching through boxes trying to find something needed for a current project. With this system I would be able to find exactly what I needed and not waste so much time and create even more of a mess while looking for what I needed. This is a perfect solution for crafters in small quarters.
I could use this for organizing my kids’ homework! What needs to be done, what’s already done and needs to be turned in, library books, and all the tools needed to get the work done!

I would use this to organize my office area. I need to get my desk cleared and a place for pens, pencils, notepads that don't have a home.

Wow could I ever use the Wall Manager in our office at home. I have very limited desk space and this would be perfect!

Perfect for my home business!!
I would use the Martha Stewart Home Office with Avery Wall Manager products in my spare bedroom/project room. My only organization system in there right now is cardboard boxes.
I would like this for my craft room. I need to get everything up and visible so I can use it.

I am moving into a new home next month and would love to be able to organize the area above my office/craft desk with these Martha Stewart and Avery products! My area is usually messy and cluttered due to not enough organizational tools. Fingers crossed that I could really use these to get my space clean and neat!
