Eclectic or Messy?

So I happened to be looking at the design of my blog's sidebar and realized that there really is no design. Just a bunch of pictures and info and widgets, slapped up there.

Just like how I used to decorate my apartments before I got married.

I'd find a new piece of art, or a new calendar, or a photograph and I'd hammer a nail into the wall and hang my new acquisition.

What do you all think? Is my sidebar too jumbled? Are there any cool widgets you'd recommend that I try? I'm always eager to pull out my hammer!
