updated pics
two granny cabinets done and filled now



for the love of mlp's i did something my husband is going to go through the roof when he finds out.

so the story goes..... about three weeks ago i bought 2 cabinets for my ponies that have been in box's (some on and of) for years some up to about 14years when i first started collecting as an adult.

i was so happy with the out come of this but alas i still had a lot left in boxes and also my playsets and other gens. were in boxes too. i mentioned i would love 2 more cabinets but my husband wasn't happy as we only rent a small 2 bedroom house and i have a special corner in our very clean, dry, carpeted, bug free garage .................this week i bought 4 more  now you can hide ponies but you can't hide furniture.
i could not help myself they were a bargain.

so here is 2 of the four that have arrived home with me already
before i paint them. painting is my other interest but this is going to be a lot of work involved

i had some great advise as to find another hobby, get involved with something else for a while, well this will sure do, that is for sure 

i thought i would share this with those who would be interested in a "work in progress pony display"

in the mean time i better pop out and grab a bottle of scotch for hubby  ........... ...........and then show him what is in the garage



btw happy Halloween everybody

You have a very lovely collection, and displays are so nice, my ponies (with the exception of a few that are taking over the scrapbook room)  are all in tubs in the guest room bedroom closet. Hoping to be able to buy shelves sometime soon and get the out.

Great work on the cabinet!

One day, my collection will be displayed that way. I *love* the look of this.

[prancingstag]

Wow, nice find! I bet they'll fit in well and look great once painted to match.

Now you see, hubby... There are four generations of MLP... So of course shabbychic needs at least four display cabinets. It makes sense, really, when you think about it.

[kiwimlp]

Your display cases look awesome.  Who would have thought that a coat of paint could make such a difference!  Go you

I love what you done with the first ones, but Im a wood fan too so I would have trouble with painting the new ones! But your amazing! And a wonderful collection too! Im always looking for amazing deals for my collection too, you have inspired me to work on mine this weekend lol.

Please tell us how your Hubby reacts! I can't wait to hear how you buttered him up to the idea! 
Happy Halloween too!
