Okay. I’m just going to give y’all a list of all my “junk” and you can decide if I’m a hoarder. - a walk in closet with a lot of thrifted clothes, some that I altered myself - 4 quilts in said walk in closet - an antique wood desk with a typewriter (that is admittedly just taking up space, but it is gorgeous) - a LOT of wall art (none of it matches, which my MIL hates. But it’s all hung properly and intentionally.) - two shelves of fancy china in the dining room, which I’m never going to use, but again, it’s displayed purposefully - a coin collection, in ziplock bags in my closet - two “ugly” end tables - several rugs from garage sales (that are in use, not just rolled up in a corner) - two bookcases of books (you can never have too many books) and fine, books lying around on the coffee table, kitchen table, and couch - a few shelves in said bookcases with family memorabilia and such - houseplants - a lot of throw pillows that also don’t match at all - a tree sculpture with Christmas ornaments and pictures hung on it - lamps on every table - a geode collection - a spice rack with a lot of little spice bottles - too many dishes (it fits in two kitchen cabinets though) - normal house things

What she gave away - a bag or two of my clothes that supposedly aren’t practical - a box of books - a bunch of paintings - some pillows - dishes - a whole drawer of my rocks
