I have shelves out in the garage where stoneware and SA lives. I have a bookcase that is actually behind my couch that houses salad spinner, chilizzane, small tools in plastic tote box, batter bowls, quick stirs, etc. On top of that is the large round dot bowl and the large white bowl. Some of the tools are in a tool turnaround in the kitchen, and some in plastic boxes.

In my rolling tote: trifle bowl, cutting board, round up from heart trivet, linens, mandolin, and cookbooks.

Basically I have it everywhere!! I don't really have it in my kitchen cupboards, those were already filled when I started PC.
