If you recieved China for your shower & live in an apt.

what did you do with it?? Mine is sitting in a box at my MILs house and I feel so bad!!! I was lucky enough to get every place setting.. thousands of dollars worth of plates and glasses and its sitting in a box in her back room

I wish I had the space for a china cabinet but there isnt any

Almost everything I got for the shower is at my MIL's house. I don't have room for it.

And then it will be like getting all new gifts when we move into a house

In my parent's basement too. We will hopefully be buying a house soon so I'm not worried they'll be used!

We have ours here in China Protectors they are in the cabinet above the fridge and stove cause I can't reach up there anyway. Now ask me if Ive used it in the last 10 months

We found a China cabinet after much looking that fit just right. It is all displayed in the living room!

I stored it all at my Mom's until we bought the house! I was very excited to unpack all of my shower stuff when we moved in since I wouldn't let DH use any of it until we were in a house! (we already lived together so really had everything we needed)

Mine is either at my parents' house or in our storage unit, where it will stay until we are in our house.

This is why I didn't register for China. It so sad but I knew I would have no place to put it for a long time!

We live in his parents basement and all of our china and crystal is sitting up in the attic.
We have no room for a china cabinet.

All the wedding presents are in my bedroom in my parents house. My mother alternively calls it 'the treasurer room' and 'the closet.' I don't feel guilty. But I do wish I had room for some of it. I would love to use it.

Re: If you recieved China for your shower & live in an apt.

Ours is also sitting in a boxes at my parents house. I don't have enough room in my apartment to store all of the pieces to the China. I wish I could, it is a beautiful pattern!

We have a 'walk-in' storage closet. Let's just say that it's no longer walk-in!!

Re: If you recieved China for your shower & live in an apt.

Ours is sitting in my parenst garage. I received all my place settings as well as all my serving pieces for my shower. It's so sad that it hasn't been used yet.

Re: If you recieved China for your shower & live in an apt.

Most of it is in boxes, but we've taken out about 6 place settings (just dinner plates, salad plates and bowls) to use for special occasions. We've got them on the top shelf in one of our kitchen cabinets.

At this rate, I'm not sure we'll ever have enough room for china
