Pony room

I didn't even look at pickup lol, just to ship. I knew there'd be a shipping cost but I guess I've gotten spoiled by Amazon shipping and immediately balked at the price XP
I've noticed a thing about Amazon shipping, though I've been trying to avoid using Amazon whenever there's an alternative.. even with prime, shipping is often baked into the price of the item anyway. I've looked at other sellers for similar items that don't offer "free" shipping and their item prices were lower by almost as much as the price of the shipping they charge. Obviously I can't speak for every situation, but it opened my eyes. Nothing is ever really free, lol.

Yeah, you're probably right. I usually assume if there is free shipping it's actually just rolled into the price. Ikea's was just so much more than I was expecting, probably cause I'm so far away from the nearest store. Lucky for my wallet I don't live closer tho lol. I love shopping there in person

I have definitely spent more than I ever expected to at IKEA, because I like shopping there in person too, LOL
 
Was able to get my new shelves and "tv stand" setup this weekend! I consider myself pretty capable but I'm sure glad I had my sister around to help get the shelf into the room. ^^; Still need some risers and floating shelves for above the tv... maybe some UV blocking curtains and LED lights too. I'm happy to report that there were only two causalities among the ponies. One CPK pony developed more highlighter marks and one fakie developed mold; both already had issues so I'm counting that as a win.

Seeing them all laid out though I'm definitely going to need to downsize extras. I was hopping to sell some at the local pony meetup but idk if that's happening this year. :(

I guess my dolls are gonna have to stay in storage for now. I literally don't have any more room unless I wanna start blocking windows lol

Nice! You got the Animal Crossing Switch!

Yeah! It was my christmas present to myself 2 years ago. I really need to get back in to it, my poor island is probably drowning in weeds lol.

I’m so happy the shelf worked out for you ❤️
Thanks for the suggestion! Trying to figure out how I can squeeze another one in lol
 
Decided I would be ok moving my vanity? mirror thing in front of the window so I was gonna get a new shelf to look more like the original plan... of course it's sold out everywhere. I'm hoping they aren't discontinued :cry:

Anyway, this is the new plan. It really opens up that doorway to. The vanity is great but it does stick out quite a bit.

theres a lot of esprosso browns around me, so maybe they are just out of stock for the moment :) - took me a while to find more white shelves at one point too

I hope so. There's a few with the black ones, but I can't find any stores with the white. I even checked stores further out around my relatives in OK/TX etc. Nada :/

My gremlin brain wants to buy two short ones and configure them into one tall on lol
 
Good news, the shelves finally came back in stock! Can't wait to get this set up! I saved the foam packaging so I can diy some risers and bought a couple of tall ones for the big bottom shelves. At some point I'll get my dad to hang my wall shelf so my birthday ponies will have their own spot. (And I can get more ponies :p )

My goblin brain is convinced I could fit one more shelf on that wall. Who needs to open doors all the way anyhow. XD
 
I like the symmetry of the two shelves. And now you have either more room to get ponies, or lots of space to put other collectibles you may have in storage. This is looking really good so far.

Thank you! I have so much in storage haha. I'm going to go through my dolls first before allocating the ponies any more space. ^^;

plenty of space! Looks so nice too. You can always add a shelf or two above the TV too if you feel like you need more room
I have a great vintage shelf I've been holding on to just for this! Debating whether to repaint or not, it's currently purple from when my baby sis had it in her room. It was ~french~ blue when we were kids to go with my mom's aesthetic for us lol

Tell me about that giant yellow pony :O
She's a big Cabbage Patch Crimp n' Curl Pony! They came before the Magic Meadow ponies. I got her super cheap cause she was in pretty rough shape (cut hair, mold, marker stains, etc). She's been very patiently waiting for a rehair, no idea how to replicate the original hair though :/

I'd love to collect them all but the shipping is atrocious on them TT_TT

An inquiring mind needs to know, do you collect the smaller PVC vinyl sculpted Cabbage Patch horses?
