Title: Show me your Paradise Estate displays!
Post by: reanna-mator on June 03, 2017, 10:04:14 AM
Sooooo, guess who did something wild and bought Paradise Estate? XD

It was relatively cheap. 9.99 with $50 shipping, and the lot contains a fair number of its accessories (and a few accessories from ponies). Missing the patio and pool though, but hopefully I'll be getting those soon. Problem is, I bid knowing that I had absolutely no plan for how I would display it. And I've thought about it a few times, wondering what I would do if I were to acquire this beast of a playset.

So... looking for a little inspiration, and maybe some pics to get me excited for when it comes in. If you have Paradise Estate, if you have it displayed, I'd love to see it. :)

Hah congrats! It's such a great playset. Mine is in my ponyroom sitting on a table that is the exact perfect size for it. (It's not really even a table, it's two table benches pushed together)

Great price!
Here's mine. Hard to get a decent pic of it. Sits on top of a bunk bed and then on top of a frame for an end table. We have so much stuff crammed in our extra room...

There's a 3' Smurf under it. He had too much fun Friday night...

That is a lot of stuff!

Mine is no longer displayed either, but I do have some photos from when I first acquired it:
Wish I still had this much floor space...

Mine is also in storage now until I have space to display it, like all of my other playsets, but when I got it I took photos and made a thread here about it. I dug it up, the pictures are here :D

I actually have to get mine out to photograph and I've been pondering where I can put it to take good ones!

Thanks everyone! :D I'm feeling pretty inspired now. And... Paradise Estate arrived today! I'm still decorating it with accessories and ponies, but I'll show you what I've come up with when I'm done. In the mean time, I'd love to see more PEs. <3

It looks so small with all those extras, nonetheless I love it!
The dragons on your other thread are the best! Thanks for sharing your fun!

aww, thank you Carrehz and ChipsteRJ. It is once again in disarray but hopefully within a month or two, I will have it completely set up with ponies and whatever else captures my fancy

I don't have a nice setup, but it's visible :) The 4 rooms are together in a square, then the patio and pool sit on top.

That's probably how mine will be! XD I don't have a lot of room so I'm setting mine up "townhouse" style. :)

I hate to break this to you, but you appear to have a Breezie infestation in your pool O.O.

I have two, with the original box  :blush:. They are so big that they are in the box. Also to prevent discoloration due to sunlight.

I do need to sell one of them though.... they are massive.  :P so if anyone is searching for one?  ;)

Haha, yeah. I realized that after I took the picture. I think some had jumped/fallen off the shelf nearby.

That always happens this time of year. You leave the window open one hot evening, and the breezies start getting in!

So true! And that room does not have a screen on the window...hmmm.

You should be careful. They probably breed o.o. You start with two and before you know it, there's an entire breezie army at the door.

I'm loving these PE pictures, especially jrr74's and especially all the care that went into its landscaping.

Looking forward to seeing the OP's when it gets setup.
