Prop storage

After collecting props for over 5 years we were in a bit of a bind. Having no storage we tried to keep them as organized as possible. Where oh where was rubber chicken when we needed it?! We had to get serious. When looking for fake fruits they had to be readily available.
Here's what we did:
Took every single prop and laid them out in the conference room.

Here's what we discovered:
*Items broken and too dusty to use
*Duplicate items
*Found things we were looking for
*Found stuff we didn't even know we had

How many sets of chopsticks did we need? If I saw that avocado green oblong dish in one more display I was going to hurdle it.

Here's how we are going to stay organized:
*Items put in labeled boxes
*Nothing under pressure, folded, crushed
*All boxes have lids so as to deter dust
*Boxes we use all the time kept on the 1st floor
*Boxes we use once a year kept on the 2nd floor
*Share, share, share. Other branches are taking a turn at using the hockey stick, golf club, jungle fauna, hoola skirts, etc.

If you are lucky enough to have ample storage I'm sure there are even other solutions. Please share!
