Creative messiness

I adore the front page of Ilse Crawford's website - I love the 'messiness' of it all...

Just as I adore the creative messiness of this workspace...
...and the random placement of assorted treasures on these shelves...

I love that tiny little bird cage on the shelf - wish it was mine!

Whilst I aspire to creative messiness, deep down inside I know it will never happen because I'm such a neat freak. What about you - are you 'neat' or 'creatively messy'?
