Maybe you could call your mom and tell her that you guys are ditching most of your stuff, and that if there's anything you have that she wants, she should speak up.
Or you could be honest and tell her this stuff just doesn't go with the decor for your new place. Now that you're finally going to be owning, you're going to be decorating, and you don't want stuff that doesn't match. Ask her what she thinks you should do. If she lays the guilt trip on you, then it stays in storage or it falls off the truck. If she says it's ok to dump, then you dump.
Another alternative might be to see if there's someplace like a shelter or retirement home near you that would LOVE things like this. Then all the work your mom put into it wouldn't be thrown away.
