Get a nice cabinet. Put the cheaper stuff in it. Then get as big as safe as you require for "storage' of reloading supples,and other 'gun-ny junk'. tools, guns which you 'picked up for a song', but 'need some work', etc. The large utilitarian looking box can go about anywhere it can be structurally attached to the house: workshop, etc.
With a little creative shuffling, keeping longarms in fabric gun slips, etc you will an invaluable resource for y'r hobby. I suggest a few ED1 purchased at a fire sale, for the lovely cabinet. Gaudy, cheap and dispensible with the firing pins removed. A nickled, extended mag 870 Mariner 12 ga and shell belt with a flashligh would be handy emergency equipment, too.
Lovely furniture, there. Encourage you wife to pick the stain color and hardware design.
