My other solution as I did today...when a vac enthusiast guest drops in, vacuums go out into their car.. LOL I'm happy to report I'm 3 connies, a Sunbeam mixmaster and a GE triple whip lighter this evening and I'm still tripping over stuff.. LOL | ||

Yes Pete, seeing the dilema you face as you disgorge the contents of all those moving cartons really spurs me to get going on the kitchen reno again. All these recently adopted mixers, jeez, there's no room to even make a sandwich left on the counter, just enough to add half & half to a single cup of Bunn brewed coffee. arghhhhh. I refuse to put the mixers back in boxes so I guess they'll have to go live in another room for a while. My kitchen is all original down to the wainscotting save for a skinny shallow stack of chipboard cupboard units 11" deep over the matching sink counter. In my mind's eye I see glass front 18" deep cabinets hung from ceiling to chest level on two walls to house the regular everyday dishes & cups and showcase the mixers, blenders, irons, toasters, etc. Just after I bought the house I came across being turfed at the local dump, in its box, a never uninstalled 6 foot double sink double drainboard porcelaine on steel kitchen counter from the 50s. The rear edge rises up 4" with 3 standard holes for taps & spout and a 4th hole for a sprayer below & between the sinks. As for vacuum display, I really like those open wire units from Lowes...and now I'm going to have to get another one just for the 6 (so far) Constellations. :-) Hey, I can populate the lower shelves with the homely Comet Tanker and his stylish kin, the Compacts. | ||

Pete's got a great storage solution - stuffing visitor's nooks & crannies full of parts & machines. :-) Too busy to take many pix but here's Pete dancing with his latest DAM I brought over with some wands for his Electrolux 88. We found this online in London. Came complete with hose & tools. Because I was headed that way anyway to pick up some Kirby Heritage II tools, I called the guy, who was so grateful somebody would actually show up after so many no-shows, he gave it to me gratis. It's been his daily driver from new from his Mom and he's replaced it with a Dyson Animal. Each to his own. As a side note, London Bachelor also lives in an old house on a corner lot, which has more than a dozen Carnival & Amusement Park coinslot automata games scattered thoughout the small rooms, like fortune tellers and claw prize scoopers and the like. So he understood my vacuum obsession. My kinda collector, eh? Morning news flash! The Lady Leigh in London I got the Heritage tools from also had a nice G3 & tools for $90 but had a buyer coming by to get it. This was last Thursday. Got an email this morning the buyer dropped out and Leigh has offered it, kit & kaboodle, to me for $30. Gosh, a Kirby G3 powerdrive with hose & stuff...duh. Guess she liked me, will pick it up on my way back from Pennsylvania & Ohio next weekend.
