Sweet. I keep mine in my guitar room on Hercules wall hangers and stands.

where they hide
I have a dedicated closet, where they live in their cases - except when the humidity is correct and then one or two will be out on stands.

After years of frustration hanging my guitars on a wall and trying to get consistant levels with a humidifier, I keep them in cases with the Planet Waves doo-hickey stuck between the strings.

I keep mine on stands in my music room. Some rotate through my bedroom and family room.

Where?
In their cases in a closet. In the winter they have sponges for humidification.

I keep half of them on hangers and stands in my guitar room while the other half are in their cases in a dedicated closet within the guitar room. Trick is to keep the room at the proper climate.

My two are on stands in the living room close to the two JBL tower front speakers of the surround sound system, where I can reach them easily.
No climate control (temperature or humidity), for the nine years so far of their lives, with no ill effects in the slightest...both guitars are completely stable. We don't heat in the winter, or run AC in the summer, to save money. The climate is moderate here for the most part (it does get hot in the summer), with the inside temperature ranging from the low 50s in winter to the high 80s/low 90s in summer.
