We’re redoing the house–clearing things out, painting–and I find that the more minimal a space is, the better able I can think, and concentrate. So out went the cute vintage plates that hung on the wall, all the photos and knick-knacks and stuff. I’m entering a minimal phase, a monochromatic phase….whites, blacks, blues. Here are two photos of the current state of affairs…where I write and what I see when I look to my left. I’m in the process of buying a desk for that window you see in the second photo.

Where do you write and do you like it to be a cluttered, busy space, or a minimal space,  or something in between?
