"Hi, I'm Ann Myrick, and today we're going to talk about how to decorate a home office and using in a minimalist style. This is a very small office. This is a closet with other closets in it, and so I took it and I wanted just, I didn't need anything big, so I took it and wanted to just create a little place for me to be able to get away and do some of my things. And so, in, in working with a minimal look, you want to take out all the extras. You want it to be very clean lined. You want it to be very clean and just what, just what is in the office is what you use. Not a lot of, of extra accessories and pieces. So, what I've done is, this is a pretty just slick desk that I have found baskets and just have organized all my paper work with the baskets, and have kept that very organized. And then the glasses are just pieces I've picked up at the, a garage sale, flea market, and so I'll just put pens and pencils and tape in it. Now, the one piece that really isn't minimal, I always need one just messy piece that I can just throw everything on. So If I was going to change this room and take it to just real minimal, I would probably take down this, that is so, that has so much stuff on it, and I would either, I might leave the wall as it is, and of course take the nails out and repaint. But since this is a very shut in area, and it's very small, I'm going to, what I will do, I'm just going to hold this up because I'm not sure looking at these nails, I don't know if the nails will hold this mirror. But this is just an old, very old mirror, and what I'm going to do is I'm going to, let's see if it will work, I don't know if it will, no, I'm just going to hold it up. I will need a little something on my wall, so I'm just going to put a mirror up here, a really interesting mirror that has a great frame, and let that be it. So you have the desk, you have everything on it. The storage, file cabinets are in the closets, and it's very clean and minimal. This is Ann Myrick, and that is how you decorate a home office."
