Alright, I just had another spark.
You know those shiny trophy cabinets anybody with a house has?
Well, we should have a place to put a certain number of our items currently in storage into a displayable section in the cabinet. I am thinking the top row of the cabinet is to be the display section, this means that it is easy to move items in and out of display. Items that are in the showcase can be seen but not taken by guests, and they are a great way of showing items that have sentimental value or are valuable in some way.
