The *bulk* of my stash is in it's own cabinet, behind closed doors, out of DH's range of vision.
[smilie=th_cha69]
Since DH knows I do order *a few candles (as he calls them) now and then, I keep a few in plain sight. I have a basked of them in my room next to the melter, and I just filled a basket with some fall scents that is on TOP of the cabinet I mentioned above. That way, if I need to change them out when he's home, I can grab one of those and not dig thru the bins and bins I have hidden.

As any tartaholic worth their name, I have them just about everywhere!

I keep the bulk of them in a closet with rubbermaid-type drawers, some are tucked in some pretty hatboxes on my dresser, a few are in the living room in a drawer in a hutch. Did I mention some in the night stand? Or, the basket of them in the basement by the "basement melter"?

[smilie=th_OMG] I really do have them everywhere!

Let me count the ways..... Too many! I have bins of tarts in my kitchen pantry on the bottom shelf. The I have few photo boxes full in the hall closet. I have 2 more photo boxes under my bed. Then in the basement I was a rubbermaid bin full. Oh, and I have a box under my son's bed full of tarts. I forgot I have a box in my bedroom closet. And that is just my tarts. I have probably 40 candles as well. Yes, I have a problem

I have most of them confined to the living room...(that makes me feel better [smilie=yes] )...
6 decorated boxes full to the brim plus
2 large baskets plus
1 jar in the kitchen full of tarts plus
1 basket full in my bedroom for that tart warmer.

I have most of my tarts in baskets in the living room. I have a 3 drawer chest in the dining room full plus 3 baskets. I have some in the family room. I have a box in the garage. I keep some in a basket in my bedroom and I have some in the beach house ( in 2 closets.) Not too mention the 100+ candles. I too have a problem!!

A couple years ago, Aria inspired me with her decorative trunk idea so I went on the hunt for some. I love 'em! I have two, both in my entry way. These store the melts I plan to use in the next week or two. The rest are in various - UNdecorative - boxes on a shelf in my entry closet.

Tart-a-holic stash secrets are so much fun to read - really! [smilie=yes]

I have them in:

3 medium sized baskets on my hutch shelves

3 medium sized baskets inside my hutch on the shelves

A large wicker picnic basket

A large decorated box from Michael's w/a magnetic flap closure - it's so pretty!

In a drawer of an antique cabinet in my livingroom. Easy access, yet nicely hidden. :)

I use a pretty red pie cabinet in my kitchen. It has sturdy shelves for candles and tarts. I also have some baskets in the pantry, some candles in the DR and the basement.

I try to keep the stash manageable, so I have two decorative boxes from Michaels that house most of the tarts. There's a basket sitting out that I refill from the stash. I keep my candles on a shelf in a bookcase, some of them in decorative boxes that look like books (they're small jars and they stack well in those and the box keeps them from falling over).

There are the odd mini-stashes by an individual melter when I run across scents that I feel really belong in one area - the super light things that won't throw well go in the hallway, and anything fresh and clean goes in the dogs' room, but those are something like a half-dozen tarts so I guess aren't worthy of the title of "stash", lol!

I have a three drawer wicker basket for LOL & CYS, a long under couch sterlite for CFTKR, and about 6 small decorative boxes for everything else. I'm working to get it down to just the three drawer wicker basket though :)

I hide mine - in cardboard boxed in closets...some day I may have places for decorative boxes that I can leave out for easy access. Sounds nice!

I have this cabinet in an unused guest room. I really like the cabinet and like that my stuff is behind a door. It has long been my "candle cabinet" now that I do not burn candles, it is my waxie cabinet!

The containers are large Ziploc containers so nothing fancy. I sort by scent rather than by vendor. That way all pumpkins or apples or zucchinis smell like that rather than all tarts starting to take on each other's mixed scents.

An order comes today and another tomorrow. Hopefully I will have enough to get me through a hot summer. I doubt it! haha!
