Default Guitar storage problem/no hangers or racks

Every one has great ideas about hanging guitars on walls, in closets (that was cute) and making racks to hold them at the ready. Then we talk about humidity issues (real serious this time of year in my house) and believe it might be best to keep them in the case. Either way, the case is still laying around cluttering up the floor while you admire the show on the wall.
So what is everybody doing with the 6,7,8 or more cases laying around?
My wife says something has to be done. But what..........

nice!
In my house, there are always a few cases (some with guitars in them and some without) under the beds.

Hi RG fan...
We are empty nest after raising 4 sons, so we have a back closet that is ''mine''. Cases fit neatly side by side when being stored. When it's my main guitars which interchange and travel, they sit in a hallway on an inside wall.

I can't remember where they came from, but here is the corner stand, and here is the straight stand.

The only modification on the straight stand is to install the upper pegs facing backwards. There were no modifications needed for the corner stand..........and yes........both are extremely stable.

I saw this browsing Vintage Guitar Magazine one day. They look pretty nice and flexible. I especially like the workbench.

I should remind you.......you are the one that asked the question.

I just happened to be in the "more" cases category.

I have a custom guitar cabinet that I converted from one I bought from Ikea.

Here's a previous post I made about it (with pics)...
