I have been watching this show called Hoarders, and I have to say it sometimes makes my skin crawl to watch! There was one episode where the kids literally had to climb over a 6 foot mountain of stuff to get from one room to the next. I have been running around throwing stuff away because of the affect the show has had on me. My dad is somewhat of a hoarder, and it makes me nervous to go over to his house (sorry, daddy...love you!) Have you guys ever seen this show? Do you know anyone that hoards stuff? I would love to hear the stories....
Here's a collection of random reds...one of my favorite colors!
I've watched bits and pieces of Hoarders, and am astounded at the way some people live. It's definitely making me think twice about buying more stuff before getting rid of the unused items in my closets.
ReplyDeleteGreat collection!
This is the 1st time I've visited your site--so very cool Leslie!
ReplyDeleteI've watched 2.25 episodes of Hoarders and I always feel creeped out. It makes me want to throw out stuff and donate clothes to the Goodwill!! I say I'm creeped out but then I watched 2 entire episodes back to back and had to get a grip on myself about 25% of the way into the 3rd episode of the marathon...what's up w/that?! My mom is a weird kind of hoarder too...it might be their generation? Who knows...
I've known a couple of hoarders... but I have never seen the show. Hoarders astound me... and I personally - am constantly purging my house of extra stuff.
ReplyDeleteI love the show. I'm kind of a hoarder. A pattern hoarder. I've even set up a new Etsy Shop to get rid of some that I don't forsee using.
ReplyDeleteHave you seen the animal hoarding one? That one is really unbelievable. It is so sad for both the person and animals.
I love this show! I knew an elderly woman who was a hoarder when I was a kid and we were always trying to describe her house....she always called it messy, but we knew it was beyond that, that it was something much worse than "messy"...
ReplyDelete@Eleen, I have never seen the animal hoarding one. I don't think I would be able to handle it :(
ReplyDeleteAshley, that sounds just like my dad. He will say his house is kind of messy. I tell him, that's like saying Hell is kind of hot ;)
I do have to admit that I went in my seven year old's room today, and I felt like I was on the show....needless to say, we did some cleaning!
great collection! I'm following you now. I have a spice giveaway on my blog

Lovely collection of red!! Yes that hoarders show can be slightly horrifying to watch, I want to look but also can't stand to look!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about wanting to look, but not wanting to look! The last episode was really heartbreaking (animals were involve)....I can't watch one like that again :(
ReplyDeleteThat show is totally crazy! I agree about the animal ones, they would be better off to live outside than in some of those places. Whats really unbelievable to me are their kitchens! Yuck! They have to eat out all the time or go to friends right? I think I have nightmares still about one of the refrigerators they opened on there...I'll say no more....
