How do you display your collection?!

[kmlv23]

Used to keep mine on my dresser to greet me every morning when I woke up, but mom recently made me put them away. downsides of moving back home. Now they're in a Bud Light box I keep next to my bed. I can jussttttt see Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash through the handles.

I keep my blind bag girls on top of my jewelery box though. We'll see how long that lasts....

FantasticFirefly is right Ikea's Billy Bookcases!!! I have a whole room of them and they are stuffed with little ponies - the white bookcases look really good - I did have to save and get one bookcase at a time but they are not too break-the-bank expensive and most are big enough to take a substantial selection of a collection.

Well, my collection is quite small, but this is how I display it at the time.

I'm going to have a little problem near future, cause I won Show Stable on ebay, I I have no idea where I'm going to place it...

[PonyMonsters]

All over the house!!! We have shelves up in the bedroom and lounge, and our play sets and G3s are in our spare room. We use books and VHS cases as risers!

[Ringlets]

Mine are everywhere ATM   I do have one room in particular where there is some sort of order to the display.... shelves n stuff... but I am still waiting for a proper attic conversion (*sigh* my hubby started it 3 years ago* )

I used a wood plank for it that i has been cut in the good depth and hight. The shop where is bought it cuts it for free. I really love it! I will ad d a picture but i don't know if you can see it very well.

I don't Mine are in storage at my parent's until I finish uni and have a place of my own. I only have some of my more common MOCs hanging up on the walls in the hallway...

My collection is very small, so by the time I have all the ponies I want, they'll take up two shelves on a bookcase in my room.

I have them in a display cabinet with glass doors. The selves are pretty deep and i can 3 rows of ponies up. I have bought flat wood and my fiance cut it in the proper measurements of the cabinet. And i used drink glasses to raise them.
Here is a pic how it looks:

Unfortunately, I don't have a proper display set up in my room -- and I collect a bunch of toys besides Ponies, and not enough space for them all -- so some of them are in a box while the rest of them are sitting on my daybed (I got a big enough room to have both a bed and a daybed).

I'm hoping that when I move out, I'll have a room large enough to have lots of shelves to display all of my Ponies and other toys.

i havent had time to set them up at our new house, but at least they are out of those wretched boxes!  at the last house i had a combination of many kinds of shelving... my favorite was these decorative shelves that my dad had bought back when i was in elementary school.  They are for dishes or something, but the ponies have the perfect amount of room! just one row!  I also had 6in x 6ft shelves.  I just put a mib g3 behind the g1s. Those still in the box had a little bit of elevation so i could see both. I also had a shelf i made when i was little out of a shoe rack and some ply wood. (ok dad cut the wood!) that was barely tall enough to fit ponies in, but it worked and had enough room for adults in back babies in front.  I would suggest putting it on another shelf or desk because i couldnt see anyone but the babies when it was sitting on the floor. 

sorry for the crappy pics! this is all i have ^__^

edit: gah it cut off the important parts of the pics... sorry just click ok?

As soon as we get a house, the Billy System will be my BFF.

I like the idea of risers. MoonStars that  expand-a-shelf looks perfect!
I only have g4s and use a nail polish stand for them (the idea from someone on the "old" arena. I can't remember who.) I like it a lot but they are expensive.
This is the newest pic I have of my collection. I've gotten more ponies and re-arranged things quite a bit since this was taken about a month ago.
I'm currently trying to come up with a display solution for my blind bag ponies. (They might end up stealing the polish rack and I might do something different w/ the brushables. I don't know, I'm constantly re-organizing  )

I like the white ones too, they also happen to be the least expensive "finish" which I also like -more $$ for ponies. (Twink's went with the birch finish, also looks lovely against the pastels). Even though the plan is to house most of the collection in billy's I'll also be one hunting for some older class china cabinets, and customizing them for a few of my pony lines/ponystuff. (I also love decorating/refinishing furniture).

I love some of the riser solutions people came up with. I have an idea, which my boyfriend claims will be easy enough to execute. we will see...

My display is a bit more elaborate but my shelves are fairly simple.  They're made out of bookshelves that were bought at thrift stores and cut apart.  They're painted white with metal brackets attaching them to the walls and PVC pipe in between for support.  I have a whole section about it on my website:
