As a Virgo and self-proclaimed “recovering perfectionist”, you’d think I was super organized: a place for everything and everything in its place. Oh, how I wish this was true. I wish organizing and staying tidy came naturally to me. Sadly, they don’t. I tend to leave things in stacks and piles, placing important things where I won’t forget them, only to promptly forget those magical spot days later. I can rarely locate my sunglasses, and I can never find a pen when I need it. In the past, I have employed a series of excuses to avoid getting organized once and for all, including: I’m too busy, my house is simply too small to have a spot for everything, and I don’t want to spend money on fancy organizers. The Martha Stewart Home Office with Avery Wall Manager erased all of those excuses in one affordable, easy to install, vertical storage solution. Leave it to Martha. I’ve never been so happy to be proven wrong.
Here’s a picture of my “home office” before:
Yes, that is my kitchen. And yes, valuable counter space is being occupied by mail, receipts, and other non-cooking items. With three people and less than 1000 square feet, the kitchen is really the only spot I have for office activities. But I really do like having my home office in the kitchen because it allows me to multi-task, and it is right near the garage, which is the way we usually enter and exit the house. If I’m not leaving my glasses or hanging my keys (so I can actually find them when I leave the house), you will often find me standing at the butcher block sorting mail, paying bills, or pouring over Pinterest, all while I wait for dinner to finish. So while I like my kitchen office, I didn’t like how everything was all jumbled and piled and taking up room that could be used for rolling out pasta or cutting cookies. Luckily, there’s Martha to the rescue!
Here’s the after:
Now everything I need has a home, and it is up and out of the way. No more searching for a pen. No more forgotten coupons or missed appointments. And no more food-splattered paperwork or messy piles! Perhaps my favorite part is how much better it looks.
The Martha Stewart Home Office with Avery Wall Manager could not be easier to install. The parts come with built-in levels and adhesive to keep the pieces straight while you hang in with the included mini nails. It comes in black and white, and the parts are interchangeable. And with all of the customizable options you can create the system that works best for you. If you’re tired of having an unorganized home office, get yourself to Staples and pick up this solution.
