Just wondering how people display there paradise estate? I've been having a nose at people displays to get some ideas, but wanted to see what else might be out there....
Anyone who has that set is seriously lucky! In my experience, it's nearly impossible to find complete unless you're buying it from a very conscientious person's childhood collection.
Since it's so big, I think most people who actually have it out and set up have pony rooms - or are willing to sacrifice a large portion of the surface/floor space in their own rooms. In a fantasy pony room, I'd prefer having it on a large table to the floor, since it just looks inherently nicer closer to eye level, where you can really see into it. And then ponies can be displayed inside of it! The pool is a particularly nice place for all those shell-less sea ponies.
Ours is on a large coffee table in the living room, behind the sofa. Hubby occasionally gives it the stink eye but mostly it's out of sight for him. He he.
Mine is laid out on the shelf in the top of my closet! I have the rooms laid out in a row, two on each side of the pool. I don't have any of the accessories displayed but I do display ponies in the archways of the rooms! I love my PE!
I had mine all set out in the middle of my pony room but it has been moved onto a bit on a shelf going down the wall because i was baught a new display case and only place it could of gone is in the middle of the room I miss having my estate displayed out properly but it takes up too much room
Mine is split in 2 (Room-Patio-Room & Room-Pool-Room), and displayed along the top of a shelving unit. The thing is MASSIVE as I found out when I finally got mine last year. It sat on the dining room table for a few weeks until hubs was like MOVE IT! lol
It really is hard to find a good spot to display it, up there it's harder to see all the accessories, but it does keep it from dust and bumping, so it's a good trade off
As soon as I get my ponyroom(when one of my kids moves out) I will desplay it on a table.... and I will have a green clauth(sorry for misspelling) under PE.... that way it will look like grass..... ^_^
