Hello everyone :biggrin: As some of you may know i will be moving yet again this july 1st. im tired of moving but im gratful that this will be the last time.
Thankfully, i get to have an even bigger pony room then before and im going to be designing the rooom to look just like the satin slipper sweet shoppe. Im hoping to get some good ideas on how to do this from you guys out there. i am already painting the walls a high gloss white.
Just a few questions for everyone
how do i make my 9 book cases not look like 9 white book cases LOL ?
and
when you first think of the satin slipper sweet shoppe what is the first image that jumps in your head?
and
what crucial items must be present in the room to insure it looks like the sweet shoppe?
by the way pictures to come :)
[nudging this over to the Corral for you - kiwimlp :) ]
update:
the pony room is now being modeled after the 2nd version of the lavender / purple dream castle
-
I don't know about the bookscases but a white/purple stripey blind(s) like SS's apron over the windows would look pretty cool! And of course pink carpet :)
-
have you thought of theaming the book shelves maybe derocating the ends to look like the ones in the shop?
-
pink, that is a fantastic idea for the window curtain, i had not thought about the curtain at all.
blue, i dont recall book casses in the sweet shope? or am i missing something.
floor: i was looking to find white and pink square sticky tiels for the floor but i can not find those anywhere, i had not thought of carpet at all.
stickers: another question for you guys is, what are the stickers that came with the sweet shoppe? im going to have to do a search for them.
-
sorry I'm not being very clear am I. Try painting them yellow and purple like the counter. maybe think about some old sweat jars for decoration round the room.
-
Why not cover the bookcases with a colorful contact paper?
Paint? You can do stripes.
Cover the fronts with glass? Like a candy case!
-
What about storing some ponies on top of a yellow table like in the playset?
You could easily find one to paint yourself!
I am now brimming with over the top ideas like making huge ice creams like on the counter! :P
-
thanks everyone for the ideas, keep them coming.
here is a picture of what the pony room looks like now, notice the huge amount of space i have from the top of the bookcases to the ceiling. i got to fill that up to.

i am also trying to turn my computer desk into an exact replica of the 2 ice cream cone counter, wouldent that be cool?
-
That sounds like a really cute idea!
You could add some decoration behind the ponies on the "back" of the bookshelf - large sweetie jars, ice creams etc. A pink or pink and white carpet would be perfect as well.
On the stickers there was:
Work Table
Counter Mat
Counter Drawer
Desert Table
Ice Cream Cone Table
Sundae Table
Billboard Sign [x3]
Place Settings
Although not in colour...here is what they look like so you know what you are tracking down

Have you thought about having doors on the bookcases? You could paint them to match whatever was on the walls in the Sweet Shop. I guess you'd have to decide if you're more into having the room like the Sweet Shop or more into having all of the ponies clearly displayed if you did that though.
-
You could go to a party store and get some cutouts of ice cream cones etc and string them up with bits of pink ribbon (streamers would eventually need replacing), and maybe some big hearts and bows? Like the outside of the Shoppe?
I went browsing via Google shopping and found cute things. When I think of the Satin Slipper Sweet Shoppe, I think of hearts and bows and ice cream and sweets and white and pastels. The floor is checkboard, so what if you got wallpaper like that? Or floor? You can buy checkerboard laminate floor, I bet!
http://www.partyallready.com/1950-s-tissue-ice-cream-sundae.html
Tissue paper ice cream sundae
You should get a little yellow table like the one in the shoppe. That style is pretty common, you should be able to find one easily. I'd search "cafe table yellow"
This one is really similar: http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_07183977000P?sid=IDx20070921x00003a&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=07183977000
You could place a few playsets on the table?
What about getting a chalkboard and instead of having a "menu" on it, you could write out different ponies sometimes? Like your newest buy/trade?
-
Hi
you guys are awesome :)
Thanks so much for the sticker pictures, it makes searching alot easier. i dont think any of my shoes i owned ever had all the stickers LOL
unfortuantly, i wont have enough room to do the yellow table and chairs, but i can turn my computer chair into one of the yellow chairs.
im also working on converting my corner computer desk into the counter with the 2 huge ice creams. just need to figure out if im going to do the coner out of wood or paper? should i make them removable?
i had though of buying doors for my book cases to stop most dust from getting in, just not sure if i want to pay the money out yet.
no luck on the pink and white floor yet, i could do half white and pink carpet but then i wouldent have the squares.
talk about a project :shocked:

me again ;)
the stickers of the work table and sundae table are awesome, i bet i could paint some of the sticker on the side of my bookcases.
the little party pop up sundae is a really cool find
Post Merge: May 02, 2012, 09:30:24 AM
and thank you for moving the post, i wasent sure where to put it.

Thats a great idea to paint the images of some of the stickers on the wall...I have those images at a much higher resolution...if you want me to email it to you so you can scale them up to help you just send me a pm
-
So jelly! I would love to have a pony room! Yours looks like it's going to be awesome :)
-
well im in my new place now and have been sorting out the ponies and pony stuff.
here is an updated picture of what the pony room looks like, it is totally packed.

Oh thats going to take a lot of sorting! I love giant Sundance balancing on the boxes!
-
I think of pink and white stripes and the pink hearts on the front of the shoe.
You can line the back of your shelves with wallpaper, wrapping paper or even scrapbook paper.
-
Where is your giant Sundance from? Is she an ex store display pony, or something like that? She's awesome!
-
Really cute idea, goodluck with making it! I think it's so cool that people have pony rooms and from the sound of it yours is going to be awesome.
Wondering this too because I'm loving that giant Sundance, she's so cool!

Giant Sundance FTW! Good luck sorting everything! I look forward to updated pictures!

The most essential item you need to incorporate is the menu board. You could paint it on the door entering the room or if you put doors on the bookcases, pint one their. Giant sundae glasses with small pony items like brushes, petites, ponyvilles, even items for your desk in them would look fantastic.
I think your famous Sundance would like her own Scoop's hat and apron.

YES!! :frolic:
-
see, i knew if i posted in here i would get so many great ideas
elf come on over and help me sort it all out, in fact your all welcome LOL Everything on the left is ponies or pony stuff, then it is the computer desk, then the boxes to the right is my boyfriends stuff that needs to leave my pony room :)
i like the idea of having sundae glasses to hold my stuff on the computer desk, plus they sell them at my local dollar store.
Paint color match, im going to have to make a trip to my local hard ware store to get some paint samples. im looking to match the green and yellow from the accesories.
YES!! giant sundance will need her own apron and hat, that is fantastic. by the way she was a store display. only one known to survive so far. i will post a picture of her documentation later. (im at work now) in fact i may just start a new giant sundance thred as it seems the arena has a ton of new members who have not yet found out about her.
-
Thats a great idea about your Sundance drusilla - loads of people havent been able to see her before and she is so amazing she completely deserves a glory thread all to herself!
-
Loving your plans so far!

Totally looking forward to this, I'm really interested in her history.

I'm excited to hear about Sundance too! I nearly got an enormous Lily Lightly from a toy store once, but I had to pass her up because I was living with my dad at the time and I don't think he would have appreciated her as much as I would...
-
Wow! I remember when you first posted about the giant Sundance YEARS ago. I'm glad she is still around and being loved. I look forward to seeing how you arrange the room. I moved last fall and my pony room still isn't completely done so good luck!
-
baby medley pony room's are never done LOL
i honestly think even when we are done, we really are not because we always go back and change everything again.
im hoping my boyfriend can cut the top of the computer desk this weekend. providing we have some good weather.

Hahaha! xD
Your cat is so cute, give him/her a pat from me!
-
Hahahaha, the look on your cats face, I love it :lol:
That giant Sundance's awesome :P
-
Your cat is certainly in command there...and I love the way Sundance looks as though she is looking up at him [or her?]
-
LOL! I remember that cat being a tiny kitten asleep on me at a Pony Meet years ago! I'd love to come over and help organize the pony room, but I have my own that needs organizing! You're right when you say they're always a work in progress.

Can't wait to see pictures on FB you always have one of the coolest pony rooms!
-
when you first think of the satin slipper sweet shoppe what is the first image that jumps in your head?
and
what crucial items must be present in the room to insure it looks like the sweet shoppe?
What a cute idea! The first image that pops into my head is the cute soda fountain table & chairs...
...and I think that some crucial items would be a glass cake display (http://www.target.com/p/cake-stand-with-cover/-/A-84139#?lnk=sc_qi_detailbutton) - maybe you could put some of your favorite ponies in it? They'd be so cute in it and would be protected from dust, so that's an added bonus.
It would also be fun to use some soda fountain glasses (http://www.worldmarket.com/product/index.jsp?productId=12816014), too - Sea Ponies might look cute perched in them.
-
Hahaha, cats :) the bane of pony collecting ^^ That room with all the boxes and unsorted stuff is just a heaven for kitties :lovey:
-
Hi all
I just realized im not getting notifications when people post under my thread. Hmmmmm
that glass cake holder is a great idea AND i have one already, it just never clicked in my head to use it :)
i have been look for the soda glasses at my local dollar store but no luck yet.
im getting worried about the pink and white floor because i cant find that anywhere. im really concerned if i cant get anything what will i do?
My cat is female and name lucky paw but sometimes she is not lucky at all LOL she used to climb all the way up peoples legs and never leaves sundance alone
-
What is the surface of your floor? Does it need to be tiles or could it perhaps be painted with floor paint?
-
Right now it is just press wood or plywood. you can feel the texture of the wood and see all the pieces glued together.
but painting it may be an idea if i can find something thin to put over the wood?
-
My dad is a furnisher and I helped him with a similar plan before! He used carpet tiles in various colors, maybe you can do that too?
-
carpet tiles? i never herd of them.
i will do some searching and see what i find in pink and white.
-
This is my newest problem

OMG Drusilla!! That may be a problem.... but it is CUTEST PHOTO I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!! Love it!! Your cat is adorable!
Why do kitties always find the one thing we don't want them messing with? lol
-
Carpet tiles are a great idea Tiffoes - you can get them in all manner of different colours.
-
Love the sound of the room, wish I had a spare room to do something like that in.
And every time you start a thread, I pop by to see if Giant Sundance makes a guest appearance! Hi Giant Sundance!
-

Yep, carpet tiles! My aunt (and niece too I believe) had some help from my dad recently for their homes. My dad placed some carpet tiles in grey and black, kind of like a chessboard only the colours were different. I'm sure I can help you find them, though it would be handier if you lived in the Netherlands, then I could ask my dad to buy/place them for you, haha. But I'm sure you'll be able to find stores located in/shipping to Canada. I really hope you achieve the pony room you want, the idea is just too cute! I just noticed you live in the same place my aunt does. xD

Thank you! I totally agree with you, they're perfect if you ask me!
-
What a spectacular idea! I would just die to have a pony room to customize!
I never had the Satin Slipper Sweet Shoppe so I'm not much help with ideas, but I wish you the best of luck!
Hopefully you will post pictures in the future? :biggrin:
-
Carpet tiles are the way to go. Even if you get them in white or cream and have to dye them.
-
What a great idea for a pony room.
-
well so far i have found large pink carpet tiles BUT they want 10 bucks each. i would need almost 100 of them and that would be to expensive. or i can get them cheaper but the shipping is to expensive
so now im going to see how much a pink and a white carpet will cost separate and then cut them to fit together
-
Oh nice! Goodluck on your search.
-
i have made some small progress. Not about the floor LOL but in accessories.
I found 2 ice cream float glasses that i hope to use on my computer desk to hold my pens and stuff. they cost me 2.50 each.
Check them out :)

Those glass are perfect! I can't wait to see what you end up doing with the carpet!
-
Those glasses really do the job! Nice job on finding them.
-
Awesome they are perfect!

Update !!!!!!!
I have "possibly" found some decent flooring.
I say possibly because i don't know if i am going to go with it. I was looking for a solid bubble gum pink but so far i have found this. The color is different but not that bad and i do like the design in the tile.
1st is dusty purple 2nd is antique white 3rd is rosette
i like the rosette better then the purple.

Those are really nice!! Good luck with your pony room! What an awesome project to get to work on! :biggrin:
-
I think checkered white and pink could look pretty cool!
-
Oh great find :)
I think the third one and the second one are the best combination. They are not too far off at all - its a bright but not overly intense pink on the set so this is a great match!
-
I think Rosette and white look better too :)
-
Right now it is the only pink i can get locally and actually manage to pick up myself. i am waiting on another pink sample of a different company to come in so we will see what that looks like when it shows up.
I did find exact pink matches online but when you have to pay 300 for shipping that kills it for me.
-
Shipping & handling charges...the bane of buying anything online! X(

I really think the pink you have in the picture works well...anything brighter could potentially be too bright.

Hi all,
I got another floor possibility.
This floor is called bubblegum and i can buy it from lowes in platsburg new york.
My sister goes there at least 2 times a month and sometimes i hitch a ride. Im only hoping i can find a matching white.

Ooo that looks lovely. I can't wait to see the finished result - it's wonderful that you're putting so much thought and effort into this project!
-
Thanks sarafina :)
I have had pony rooms before but never had the opportunity to make it 100 percent mine and also as authentic as i can.
These tiles are nice as tiles and colors go but they are still not matching the sweet shoppe floor exactly. I am hoping to still find something a little better and more bright.
-
Am I allowed to say I still like rosette more? They are both pretty close to perfect but I honestly love the slightly lighter one.
This room is going to be absolutely amazing when its completed :)
-
This photo might be better for comparison. Big bubblegum tile with rosette sitting on top of it.

Lol! I have changed my mind *so pedantic* :P
When I see the comparison I think I like the bubblegum one more!
-
It's cool to hear you're making progress! I'm liking the bubblegum tiles.
-
New floor samples came in the mail today. Woot :)
These are called "shocking" for the pink and "white out" well for the white LOL
I should be able to get these in new york providing lowes has them in stock, again not the exact color for the shoppe floor but at least it is a pink
So what do you guys think?

Call me crazy, but I like the 'rosette' color...it seems more authentic, if you know what I mean?

Same! The other colours are a bit too loud and I'd be worried about them detracting from everything else in the room.

I like the rosette as well. Closer to the playset floor color, and also your giant Sundance's hair color! I think it'd give the floor a more subtle look too, so that your other amazing things in the room pop more (your collection, your desk, etc)
Either way, your room is going to look awesome! I'll be posting my own ponyroom remodel in a few weeks too :D Isn't it so much fun?!
-
I can't wait to see photos of the finished room!
I'm at the start of my dream ponyroom project finishing a huge room that is currently unfinished. I use a spare bedroom now, but my collection has outgrown it. I love seeing all the ideas for inspiration on how I should theme mine!
-
I think the bubblegum will give your ponies more contrast in their colors. Rosette is overly saturated and I think it might wash the ponies out, if that makes sense?
-
Yes seeing them all in comparison I am going back to my original thoughts - I think rosette will look the prettiest and be the most fitting!
-
The rosette color is the closest to the shoppe floor but the shocking pink and white would look awesome as just a cool room floor but i am trying to go with the most authentic.
I am still looking for other options and colors everywhere i can just so i don't overlook something and kick myself later for making a to fast decision.
Pony rooms are great :)
i started with the ponies in my bedroom, then they had there own room twice when i moved with just normal pink walls because i was renting the place and was not allowed to go crazy. This pony room is going to be the best i ever had because i can really customize it.
Thank you guys for all your suggestions they are a big help let me tell you

I cant wait to see it till its all done :)

Hello everyone AGAIN
( i had started a post about this already but i see that it has been locked )
as some of you know i am working on building / decorating my new pony room. i have chosen to do it based on the 2nd edition purple / lavender dream castle.
i took a break from doing anything on it because of surgery, selling massive amounts of stuff on eBay, going through all my extra stuff and getting ready for the fair. now i am able to do some more work on it.
I have started some little details.
here is the original mouse hole sticker on the castle

Oh thats adorable! I love it :)
If you want your old thread unlocked and merged with this one just let me know.
-
oh, drusilla, you're back! I was wondering what became of the real-life dream castle! I'll be eagerly awaiting your progress reports - the mouse looks great!
-
That mouse is adorable! You did a great job recreating him.
-
Cute :)
-
hathorcat that would be great if you could do the merge thing. i had started the thread 2 other times but i guess with no reply or update it gets locked. which i totally understand by the way.
i am still around but i had gall bladder surgery at the end of may and have been off work ever since. let me tell you it is not the funnest thing to go through but i am back and able to sit and paint a bit.
thank you for the comments it gives me hope LOL :)
i am now working on another detail part. it is way bigger then the mouse. i started painting it tonight but i am not to thrilled about the way it looks right now. hopefully i can work on it some more tomorrow.
here is the new desk / night table sticker from the dream castle i am doing now

You did an excellent job recreating that! About the gall bladder thing, my dad went through the same thing in May so I know kinda what you're going through.
I'd love to see to rest of your castle when you finish!

Oh man.. I can't wait to see the end result. You will be living in Dream Castle!! <3

Unlocked and merged for you drusilla :)
Cant wait for more updates!

hathorcat thank you very much for merging the topics :)
thank you guys for the great comments.
hopefully in a little bit i will have the table / night stand painted pictures up.
any suggestions you guys might have on how to make the room look more like the dream castle would be appreciated

ans here it is stuck on with tape to show you how it covers. i am going to stick it on with some sticky velcro in the future. i am also debating if i should make a side piece to cover the side? i am not sure if i will leave the hat as is or keep working on it.

It's cool to see you're working on your room again!
What happened to the Satin slipper sweet shop idea?
Loving the mousehole you painted!
-
i had to change the sweet shoppe idea to the dream castle because i could not get the pink tiles no matter where i looked.
now i need to decide what other sticker i am going to do in the room.
-
Ah that explains a lot! I like this idea a lot too though, it's really cute.
Maybe it's a cute idea to do those uhh pony portraits? But with a real frame and all, I think that would be pretty neat.
-
New update :)
Progress is slow but at least i have something new to post.
I went and bought the thin wood paneling for my ceiling, just that thin stuff that is not heavy that is colored light brown to look like wood grain. Plus i was lucky to find a can of paint in a pretty blue in the "bad mix" section of the hardware store for only 15 bucks, you know "bad mix" paint? it is the colors people ask for but do not want because it is not the right shade. There loss my gain LOL
i also bough other paint to make it look like clouds in the sky :) They look kind of weird on the ground like this but it will look better up on the ceiling.
I woke up really early this am to paint the panels outside before the rain started, thankfully the rain held off and i was able to get the panels back in the house. If i am lucky next week end i can get them up on my ceiling. until then i have to start moving all my pony stuff off the floor to make room to work.

I found 2 ice cream float glasses that i hope to use on my computer desk to hold my pens and stuff. they cost me 2.50 each.

Oh thats a creative idea for your ceiling!

I like your idea of making Dream castle :) I have no room in my house for a pony room but if I did I would the S.S.S Shop idea. Your very creative. Maybe you could make Giant Sundance a crown and cape.

That is cool! I cant wait to see it all done!

thanks all
hey that is a good idea to make the same colored / style cape and crown that went with the dream castle for giant sundance :)
that would be so great
all ideas are welcome because sometimes my brain just draws a blank
