"classy"/presentable setup for Bearded Dragon and roach colony?

Hey all!

My girlfriend and I are moving in together at the end of the month, and while she loves my Georgie, she's not such a big fan of my dubia roach colony in a large semi-transparent tuperware bin with a heat lamp next to it.

She knows they’re good for him, and she's fine with them existing in her home, but she'd quite understandably rather not see them. Honestly, we're gonna be in a one-bedroom, and we want our living room to be nice and presentable and cozy, so I'm inclined to agree that a new solution is warranted. Does anyone here have suggestions of furniture type things that would look nice in a living room to display my beardie’s terrarium while also providing discreet storage for the roaches? Maybe something I can put his terrarium on top of that has a large storage compartment underneath? I use a ceramic heat emitter just pointed at the side of the bin they're in (safe distance) so whatever I put them in needs to, you know, not be a fire hazard.

Open to any and all ideas!

TL;DR: Does anyone here have suggestions of furniture/storage type things that would look nice in a living room (like near a bookshelf) and conceal the roaches nicely?

If ur handy, ur gonna safe over half ur $ if u build something, heres the best options I found. If u haven’t explained to ur gf yet about the roaches being a clean bug, cant climb, dont smell, and cant infest ur home (taking protein and 3-6 months to grow/breed) , im shure she’ll be even more comfortable (highly recommended a black tub though, you dont want them having light of any kind, and ur gf will no longer visually see them)
