House and Home - Mirrors

Home Decorators Collection has been providing quality merchandise to its customers since 1991. Like many successful enterprises, Home Decorators Collection grew out of a personal passion of one of its founders, Gil Kemp. In this case, his passion was for two things; catalogs and home improvement. For 20 years, Gil Kemp had been in the direct marketing business in one form or another, but his other true love was buying, fixing up and then selling homes with his wife, Barbara. This "passionate pastime" turned into a real enterprise when Gil Kemp joined forces with Knights Direct (then known as Knight's Ltd.) in St. Louis to launch the first Home Decorators Collection catalog in 1991. From a modest beginning, Home Decorators Collection has grown to be one of America's leading catalogs and is now the catalog resource for home decor and improvement.
