[quote=Anonymous]A friend and I are helping her daughter set up her first post-college apartment.  We're having a lot of fun doing it (!) but we're not sure about one thing.  In addition to the items she will use on a day-to-day basis, the daughter has a set of crystal and bone china that she absolutely cherishes that was given to her by her grandmother.

The apartment is a modern open layout without any reasonable space for a china cabinet to store the china or crystal.  In the kitchen there is one under-counter cabinet and two upper-level cabinets.  We put her day-to-day items in one of the upper level cabinets right next to the stove/sink, and we put her crystal in the upper-level cabinet that is further away and hard to reach.  But that leaves the china.

The only logical place for the china is the under-counter cabinet immediately adjacent to the oven.  We are hesitating to do this because we're worried (hopefully, needless worry) about heat from the oven damaging the china.  FWIW the daughter does cook and bake.  Not every day but she envisions using the oven at least once or twice a week.  Any input?

There is absolutely no storage in this apartment.  We even thought about bins in the coat closet but even that is teeny tiny and doesn't have much space even on the floor!

Thanks in advance for any and all advice![/quote]
