Im in the process of getting all my ponies onto shelves and figuring out how to display them, for those of you that have the pe how do you display it? Pictures please :)
-
With my newly-acquired PE, I'm looking forward to pics as well. I was thinking of putting it on top of my wardrobe but then you can't see much.
-
In collection photo threads here I usually see it set up on the floor of the pony room, with ponies interacting with its accessories inside. Not sure what to do with mine either though, floor room is limited. :huh:
-
I was thinking shelf personally, but I have limited walls in general and no more counter or shelf space available unless I take the tv off of the entertainment center...
-
Mine stands on a desk in my pony room :

I have a pony room but the PE is simply too much of a pain to display complete; when put together because of the shape of the pool and building layout it just takes up way too much room. While it could display on a table perhaps, I need that kind of space for more full height bookshelves. So I display it in parts. Two rooms sit on one shelf, two rooms on another, the pool sits on another shelf and the entry gates on a forth one. I like it because it means I can still display ponies in and around it :)
-
I'll be facing this dilemma some day, the plan is to have it displayed on a table but splitting it up over shelves is also a neat idea. It's currently stored in it's box, on my wardrobe, in my cupboard... I dream of having a pony room some day. ^.^
-
Mine is in pieces, scattered around the pony room. The 4 rooms are under my craft table, and the middle parts are up on the shelf of the closet area. I'd like a better display setup for it, but space is limited and not much shelving currently.
-
I bet that takes up a lot of room!

No chance of having a table act as an "island" in the middle of the room, with a rotating, Lazy Susan-style top, and displaying it there? ;)

I like this idea. In fact I think I have seen a picture or two of someone's pony room where they did this. I would probably use the space under the table to store accessories in boxes. However, some rooms may just be too small for that. Another idea would be to have a desk or table against the wall that is deep enough and sturdy enough to put a small bookcase/display cabinet behind the PE. That way you don't waste a ton of precious vertical wall space. And again, the space underneath can be used as storage.
Of course I don't have a PE or space to use that idea for the playsets I do have...but I think they could work if you find the right piece of furniture.

I wont display mine till it is complete/ gets some upgrades then I will worry about it.

Yeah, that is a brilliant idea! I doubt I'd ever have that kind of space but it sounds most excellent.

My Paradise Estate is the only playset still confided to its boxes because of the large size when assembled. The other playsets and the ponies are neatly lined up in my old closet in my childhood room at my parents' house. In the future, when I move to my next apartment, I hope to have a small pony room where the PE can be proudly displayed!

I like the idea of displaying rooms separately! I also stumbled on this idea while assessing a new (and very much in need of restoration) pe: the Paradise Estate High Rise!

This is too cool :)
-
That "high rise" idea is really cool haha! I've just won an auction on ebay so I'm just waiting for it to arrive :lol: I'm currently facing this issue too. I was just going to put it on the ground as per normal but since I live away from home (college student with a host family), my room isn't that big. I was just going to put it next to the curtains so I could keep it away from the sun. Does anyone know how big it is exactly or the dimensions?

I got PE unintentionally (I wanted a pony lot on kijiji, and the seller didn't want to separate it, even for the full price of the lot, so I had it all shipped in the biggest pony parcel ever). I set it up once, and it's so amazing, but so big! I even have a table, and room for it in my new house, but I also have an almost 3 year old, and daycare kids, so I'm afraid to put it out. I think it would be too awesome for them to resist, and it would get broken pretty fast. I love the idea of splitting it up though!
-
great pictures. if I had the room in my room I'd love to trick out my ponies pads! :hope:
-
Here's my idea (haven't tried it yet but hope to in the reasonably near future after I buy a house):
Put the PE on the floor of your pony room, a little in front of the main display shelves (so there's room to walk between the PE and the shelves). Get a giant fish tank, plain and empty, maybe used if it's cheaper and you can clean it. Turn it upside down and use it to cover your PE to keep out dust (and pets, kids, whatever). Also serves as sort of a pony room coffee table/work table; you can sit in front of it and clean ponies, fix their hair, etc. So this way it's not in the way so much, plus it's protected and serves a useful function.
-
I don't have a PE yet, but if I did I would probably try spreading it over a sheftop (I have a large shelf that's wider than your average book shelf, fits three rows of adult G1s with one row of babies in the front) and filling it with ponies. :)
