When we remodeled the kitchen several years ago the cabinets went to the ceiling, which I liked, so we had them replaced with glass doors and lights.

I pretty much display it anywhere Peggy will let me put it.....  I have two glass wall units with recessed lighting in the ceiling above them, a wood unit in the dining room I have taken over, shelves in the bedroom for perfumes, on the night stands, on the coffee table, on some other tables in the living room.... some wall shelves in the upstairs, along with a desk that has shelving on the front of it, a small glass fronted mid century cabinet.....  for mid century glass   :) 

Kinda makes me look obsessed now that I think about it......    :thup:
I have been told that glass is my mistress......

This is my favourite thread on the GMB -- I love to see people's collections and how they are displayed. What a wonderful start to a day.  :)

I think 'quality of air' should be taken into consideration when choosing the best way to display a collection.  My glass collection is very small and limited to my wallunit in the living room.  Unfortunately, Krakow has got a very high level of air pollution, and dust gathers on open shelves in a matter of minutes.  I dusted and waxed my wallunit yesterday morning -- the second picture shows how much dust has collected in a 24 hour period.  :'(

My dream is to have a room with wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling, glass display cabinets with lights -- and only for my glass.  I'm just waiting for my collection to grow and my husband to either become more understanding of my hobby, or to leave  >:D...
