I am fairly neat but I like to have things organised my way. Minimalist, never, there are always piles of books, decorative boxes (filled with current projects, quilting supplies and bits and pieces), vases and jugs filled with flowers, various sleeping fur-people...found objects...stones and birds nests, interesting sticks - all this is found around the main house. As for my half of the workroom, well... a tottering heap of bags and boxes. Boxes of fabric and clothes/jeans to be cut up..which I am whittling away..but I just bought more today...so I guess I'm in a spot of bother.
All I lack is a cute small person like Mary Quite Contrary!
