New glass display cabinet!!!

I have been waiting for this day for months! My collection has been on my desk and in my bookshelf for a long time, very disorganized and scattered. I had almost given up on finding a reasonably priced glass display cabinet until I found this beautiful one on sale. I was going to split the price with my parents but it was only $200 so they paid for the whole thing. My mom and dad know how much I love collecting, they are very generous and amazing, and I gave both of them big hugs! I had to rearrange part of my room to make it fit, but I love it so, so much, even if not all of my collection fits in the case. It looks incredible at night with the lights turned off and the cabinet light turned on! Here are some pictures I took today (sorry if they are too large, I resized them but they may still be too big ):

The second shelf on the bottom has my birds and a random collection of tiny animals. I might rearrange this one, I need a safe place for my tinies but I want my birds to have more attention.

The last shelf is sealife!

Picture with all the doors open. The upper left door doesn't like to stay open. But I can't complain, this is the cabinet of my dreams! I am so happy! Finally my collection looks like a collection, not just random animals scattered around my room! I can't wait to invite people over so I can show off

Great

wow.. isabeau.. im jeaolus.. that shelfs are perfect....
congrats

I love it. It looks really great :)

lovely display/case, Isabeau.

The light inside the cabinet is fantastic, with the light of hte room turned off, it must be like dreaming.
Mirrors give the impression they are so much more!

Fabulous And thankyou for sharing your joy with us

I really LOVE it ! And with light in it, - if I want to find a model in the evening, I have to use a torch

Your collection looks marvellous (o)): (o)): , CONGRATULATONS, and hurray for your parents

They look great, wonderful cabinet with fantastic collection inside Congratulations!

Amazing is really beutiful

congratulations! your parents are very kind and generous. isn't it a thrill to see your collection all nice and neat and beautifully displayed?

Congrats Isabeau , for achieving this . For a collector , it's a heaven on earth to see one's own collection in crowded display . It's AMAZING experience that I have enjoyed many times in the past and now experiencing every day as my new arrivals make my vitrines over flowing .

Thats what an ideal collector's vitrine should be

One more suggestion is that when you go for vitrines , please see that they have sleek wooden frames so that the frame doesn't hide your animals .

Thats why . my vitrines are always broad with no frames , just a single glass door exhibiting the whole range of my collections . Inspite of it , the shelves are tightly packed

Your parents surely deserved your hugs! Not mainly because they bought a beautiful shelf but because they are stimulating you to collect. Collecting is not a futile hobby but a great exercise of knowledge, organization and a good way to keep busy our empty moments. They are showing to you their support and surely you'll know how to make they feel proud of you.

congrats on your new display cabinet, :)

Very nice display I think, having ones collection in a display cabinet automatically makes it look way more valuable and may make viewers act more respectful towards the hobby, even though the figurines aren't bathed in gold or alike.

Thank you so much everyone! It is a wonderful thing to see your collection displayed, as many of you have said.

Very nice display!      

Wow! The figurines looks so baeutiful in the cabinet  Maybe you can take a picture when the room lights are off?   

That is a beautiful cabinet, love the wood.
I think one f your dolphins is trying to make a belly roll or something haha.

Very nice cabinet Isabeau
