Here are a few of my secretly stashed items.
Oh how I love this faux bamboo mirror. But I think I will be able to part with this one - (it's a bitch to clean)
I have about a dozen more mirrors - these were the easiest to get to. And then there are the chairs...
I'd love to redo this chair in this fabric
Already bought fabric for this one (and others - but that's a whole different post)
I was so excited to find a pair of these charming Bentwood stools. I was sure they would work in my kitchen at the island but they're bar height, and I need counter height. They looked shorter in the store. Bummer.
I love the geometric mat on these Chinoiserie prints.
These prints are like small doses of DeGournay - and probably as close as I'll get : )
Just when you thought we were done with mirrors. This one's a keeper. I'll use it for Project Kim's Dressing Area.
We could go on forever with the lamp edition. I have a pair of these incredible turquoise glass and brass lamps.
I also have a pair of these very faded amber glass and brass lamps that I'm keeping in the personal stash. The color is pretty bad right now, but I have friends who can fix that...
Is there a cure?

Oh my goodness where do you keep all these things stashed
All your items are fantastic!! I'm so envious. Would love to help you clear out your hoarder stash!! :)
Lucky lady. I'm in the hoarding stages right now. I have my finds, my sisters, and all my regular stuff packed in my house. I'm needed to do a garage sale ASAP.
Oh, Kim, we are all alike aren't we? I just wrote about turning into a hoarder as well!
You have reaffirmed my belief that the solution is not to stop hoarding, but open a booth ;)
Sadly, I don't think Philadelphia has that sort of thing.
Lovin' that top mirror!
If you find a cure, let me know!
So much lovely here.

Oh, I would LOVE to have a booth - perfect way to "justify" a weakness for lamps, mirrors, etc. I think I'd be in trouble! ;) I wish shipping wasn't such a hag, I'd be snatching up some of your chairs for projects at my sister's casa that I'll be working on this summer in TX!
you love mirrors like i love lamps & have some great stuff there, so i completely understand about not wanting to part with it! i'd love to see your booth too--do you have any pics??
You are not a hoarder!!! If you are, then what does that make me?!
I collect mirrors, lamps, and dishes the most. I really need to stop it, but dang, I find some great pieces!!!
I love the first chair with the tufting! And all of your lamps are beautiful!
Who would want a cure? I'm in the same boat. It can be a problem, but I think you're managing your addiction/hoarding well! Love all your finds!
The difference between us and the hoarders on TV is our stuff is better...that is all :)
I could not part with those things either...they are all beyond cool!
Kim, I want that shield mirror. I take it back. I want all of your mirrors! Congratulations on one year. I think it's awfully cool that you took the plunge AND that you are making money doing it. Good for you!

Wow, time really flies when someone else is doing all the work! Congratulations on your anniversary--what fun!
I too struggle with crossing the hoarder line--not having a garage helps!
Oh my goodness! I love all of your keeps, but where do you put it all? I wish I had the room to hoard :).
I'm laughing at Sherry's comment!
I have the same thing going on... got into the wedding business. Need props. Always looking for stuff and how can you pass up a great deal, right? We finally got a storage unit which helps tremendously ... but now that we have more room ... well you know.
I always love seeing what you've found. I see you have a love of mirrors like myself. I spotted one similar to the first one you showed online and the retail price was almost $500.
Love, love your stash-- and I know how you feel-- I have the same kind of stash! Take care, Caroline
I'm finally getting rid of all my stash. I is a hoarder no more!!
Tha pagoda mirror is awesome can't believe you getting rid of it!
I am sorry, no cure, no vaccine. You will have to continue to collect tasteful items. I think you should look at this as a rescue mission for lost treasures.
You have a wonderful collection of chairs, love it!
Hugs & kisses from Rio!

Kim I think you have found the cure, though you may need a larger space to sell!
I adore unique mirrors!

My friend and I joke all the time about how we need to share a booth to legitimatize our habit :)
You've accumulated some great pieces!
All your mirrors are fabulous but my favorite is the one you keep for yourself. And I also love the beautiful blue glass lamp.

Great post - tons of eye candy and clever, clever! Never really thought about being a hoarder, but so true! M.
OMG I love it all. Don't get rid of a thing! Would love to see those cute chairs are re-done-up!
lovely bamboo mirror!
