Title: Project Pony Room! Take 2
Post by: Prince_Sunbeam on July 26, 2018, 11:29:19 AM

So I DIY'd our pony room 2 years ago.
 (Old Thread: http://mlparena.com/index.php/topic,381161.0.html (http://mlparena.com/index.php/topic,381161.0.html))

And now a leaky chimney causing us to take all that down gave us the opportunity to do a pony reno again! This time we hired professionals to get the job done right once and for all!

Here's some pics I took right before disassembling everything:

It'll be arranged *mostly* the same way when this is all done. Except there will be a seating nook that was previously storage and we'll finally debox those ponies since we have more acrylic shelves waiting to go up

And here's a few pics of the room totally broken down from ponies, the very exciting new drywall from the other day, and the beginning of laminate flooring they started today!!

The pros have estimated they'll be 100% done by Tuesday! My wife and I are going away for the weekend so we wont get to preview much of progress they make between now and then. But I am so excited, Im beside myself! Theres a lot of external stressors in my life and my new pony room will be the perfect respite!!

Your room was very lovely and I can’t wait to see it all redone. Jealous of all your glitter funko ponies :)

And the new flooring looks very nice. Coming along great.

May I ask wear you got those acrylic shelves? I’m looking into rearranging some of my stuff.

Awesome Pony Room, looking forward to seeing it finished! And I completely agree: ponies are an excellent way of de-stressing.

@ PrincessTiffy the other thread mentions that they are acrylic nail polish racks. Perhaps try googling that.

Thank you! I used to have the complete funko pony collection but it took up so much space and I wanted to prioritize G1 more so I just kept the glitter chase ponies.

They are acrylic nail polish racks, I've bought them off of Amazon all 3 times Ive purchased them. They do also sell them on ebay. There's all different sizes, they also make acrylic risers!
Im pretty sure I originally saw the idea from another arena member. It is, in my opinion THE best way to display G4 brushables. Though the new molds dont stand as uniformly.

Yes, the past month having the pony room disassembled and stored across multiple rooms of my house has been quite miserable. Its been a stressful time in work & life and Im really realizing how much I used time spent in the pony room to de-stress. Though it will all have been worth it because now it will be GLORIOUS! I am so excited  :frolic:

You have a great space to work with. Bummer about the leak though. Joys of being a home owner. Glad you're able to get everything repaired so quickly! Can't wait for pics when everything is put back together!

Thanks everyone!
As expected, the estimate of completion has been delayed- but hopefully only by a day. All that's left is priming & painting which they're scheduled to come do tomorrow! If I had known they were going to push back the painting timeline I would have just done it myself but oh well.
Im hoping they do it earlier in the day, that way I can start putting stuff back tomorrow night if its dry enough!

Anyway, here's a minor update picture, pretty much just baseboard/molding
