Martha Stewart Home Office with Avery~The Prettiest Desk Ever

For your chance to win a $100 gift card to Staples please tell me how you are preparing your home for the holidays at the end of this post.

This product review opportunity could not have come at a better time. Last week I started to prepare my home for the holidays. We don't have a designated guest room. This means my daughters room doubles as our guest space. This can be tricky because I want the space to look nice for holiday guests but let's be honest, she's a teenager. She has a lot of stuff. Her desk is hardworking and can quickly become a messy "catch all".

Here we are in front of her desk the day we revealed her newly decorated room.  You can see her nice, clean, pretty desk top in the background...

That clean desk was short lived.

Recently, I was asked to participate in a review of a new line of home office products: Martha Stewart Home Office™ with Avery™.

My holiday home-spiffing dreams came true when the box showed up at my door. It was almost as if they knew my daughters desk needed serious help.

The products inside the box were the most beautiful Shagreen material in a soft turquoise color.

I started the desk makeover with the Stack+Fit™ system. Each piece of this system is customizable. It allowed me to stack the items in the perfect configuration. We are using it for corralling pens, pencils, paper clips, stapler and other office supplies. Since we are getting ready for Christmas, I went ahead and filled it up with gift wrapping supplies (which I'll get to in a minute).

The system includes Vertical File Folders in fun, coordinating patterns. They are perfect for organizing everyday paperwork, and they fit perfectly in the Standing Magazine File.

We used the erasable, removable, adorable Chalkboard Labels to help her organize her important papers. These can also be used to personalize household storage containers.

Here are some of the other gorgeous pieces in this collection ...

An Accordion File for sorting and filing, coordinating binders and file folder labels, a wall pocket that includes matching push pins and removable adhesive to hang pockets either directly on the wall or on a cork board.

Each piece coordinates beautifully.

When my daughter came home to this beautiful desk space, you would have thought it was Christmas morning. This system is simple enough for her to maintain.

I'm equally as excited about her new "office space".

Isn't it gorgeous?!

Also included in my package from Martha Stewart Home Office with Avery was a fabulous collection of Christmas gift wrapping and Holiday Shipping supplies.

These supplies are durable enough to mail and pretty enough to leave out on her desk, just waiting to be used. The festive shipping paper, tape, padded envelopes and printable mailing labels do not require any bland shipping wrap. They are available for purchase in-store at Staples.

Not only was I able to organize her cluttered desk with this collection of products but her desk became a beautiful feature in the room. Pretty enough for the holidays and simple enough to keep organized long after the guests are gone.

This collection is available exclusively at Staples. You can check it out the details at the Avery website and you can buy the products at Staples.

Now, it wouldn't be very nice of me to brag about our beautiful new desk without giving you a chance to have one. So, for a chance to win a $100 gift card to Staples, tell me, how you are preparing your home for the holidays?
