That's really funny -- right now I have the two beds in my guest room
covered in MISB boxes and was thinking about posting my dilemma to LUGNET.

I'm a single guy living in a four bedroom house, so I pretty much have
plenty of space. My closets are fairly large (like 4x6' with shelves),
so I try to contain my collection to one or two closets. I also keep
sets on display on shelves throughout my house (I have a pirate ship
on the mantel) and have a 4x4' table in my office for my castle town
project. This space is running out, though...
I'm seriously considering a 20x30' second story addition to accomodate
my habit. It'll masquerade as a master bedroom/bath, but I'll make
it into my office and keep it climate controlled for the LEGO and my
slides and old book collection.
I keep all of the boxes for my sets as well. Those probably take up
the most space and are scattered throughout the house in various
nooks and crannies, but I plan on sealing them in plastic and storing
them in the attic. The basement is too full of computer stuff to
really store LEGO well down there...
