A Very Pony Closet

So, folks, it looks like these past couple of months have been the time to redo or get pony rooms, so I am just doing my duty, right?

This past weekend I got 2 white shelves from Big Lots, conveniently priced, of course.

I thought why not take pictures to share? The sad(ish) thing is, after I got all my G1s together like that, I almost had a feeling of anxiety, like I was worried about what I was going to do with that many, as if I didn't notice how many I had amassed. What am I, crazy? Looking at others' collections, all I wanted was a big pony display, but I'm totally over the anxiety. (Anyone else feel that way after putting up a display?)

Ok, here are the photos, because I'm done shooting my mouth off.



Walter helping me put together the shelves.



After 200 ponies!


Top shelf with my sea ponies and my only MOC.


All my Flat Foots, including FF Peachy! YES! I was so happy to complete this set.


My babies on my sewing machine (a bit shabby, but it's pretty cool.)


My ballerina baby with her new Mom, and my wingers.


Tropicals and Magic Message ponies.


Who thought all the Rainbows and Flutters would take up a whole shelf? That's everyone minus Yum Yum, who actually came in today, so she's there now. YAHOO!


Twice As Fancies and Randoms.


So Softs, Twinkle Eyes, Brush 'n' Grows, and some other curly girls.


Sea Ponies again, haha. They are my pride and joy.

And that's it so far. I had to kick out the G3s and G2s. Oh, I forget, there's my Dream Castle which is next to it, and some buggies and things above it, I'll get photos of them later and post here then.

I'm getting my friend to come help me reorganize it, so I may post more photos in the near future.

Thank you for looking. Any constructive criticism on where to place things is welcomed!

Wow, you really have an excellent collection Claire! (we're pony closet sisters by the way! hehe)

I really LOVE the way you have the Parlor set up with the original 6 plus peachy. I also like the general organization of everything.

Also, you're collection looks very well kept on the whole, which is hard to maintane when you're getting into numbers in the hundreds. LOL.

Anything constructive? Hmmmm The only thing I'd do is maybe keep an eye out for anything that can be used as risers. So the ponies in the back rows can be seen more. But that's a bit tricky to find. (I'm still hunting for risers myself)

I like how you have things arranged by set. When I had actual shelves I tried a few different arrangements. By set, type, colours etc. but I kept going back to sets, they just look so great all together in their little groups.

Right now I'm just enjoying picking different ponies out of those photo's. You have lots drool worthy beauties to look at for sure!

Looks Fab!

Looks AMAZING!!! What a great group of G1s you have there!! As for risers, you can buy spice shelves at Walmart that work GREAT! I have a bunch of them and use them for this exact reason!

Great job!!

Awesome collection Claire! They are displayed so beautifully! I also love the Pretty Parlor with all the girls in it. And you should totally be proud of your sea ponies! Those shelves work great in the pony closet.

Just one question....how come Magic Hat's got her rear facing out?

Claire, you have an awesome collection! I love the idea of using a closet. I wish I had an extra closet hahahaha. I like that they are combined by sets. That's how mine is, although I don't have too many completed sets. I like the idea someone had about the risers. With those, it would be the perfect display!

I think I told you before that now when I think of Seaflower, I think of you because of that one pic you posted of her on the beach. And look, I believe I spy her next to Sherbet. hehe
