Where on Earth do you keep your Lego collections?

I actually trade very little but I have gone on a crazy spending spree of
late and am buried in MISB sets. I can't seem to find the time to open and
sort them. Currently, most of them have found a nice spot in a desk in the
basement, but the pile is growing at an exponentionnal rate (almost).

Do you have a dedicated room, the loft, the garage, or just stick it in any
nook and cranny you can find?
Do have your sets on display?
What about train or city layouts? Who has a permanent one?

I have actually taken over half of the basement. I have had a Town built for
the last 6 years. It has changed quite a bit since it's humble beginnings. I
also have some sets on display on top of the TV, on the kitchen table, on
bedroom shelves and other assorted furniture.

Whilst I am very keen on Lego, I wouldnt call myself a serious collector. I
am not interested in ensuring I have every set of a specific theme for
example.
Even so, I still wonder where to keep it all (especially display it and keep
large layouts permanent).

I buy storage bins and drawers when they come on special. They are perfect
for sorting. I also cut up boxes from small sets and store them in larger
set boxes. The latter hold up some tables in my display.
