Our collection in shelf's
Unfortunately we don't have the space to have a real valley lay out with forest and village and so on, but we do like to watch our collection and enjoy them every day, so we keep them in shelf's. I found this clear plastic that we put in front of the shelf to protect it from dust, it's not 100% dust free but close, then there's no direct sunlight in the room they are in. The plastic shows more on pictures than it does if your standing there. Most of the collection is in our SF room, but slowly they began to move out and spread! We early realised that getting each family a house wouldn't be possible so sharing came to be popular and unfortunately there aren't enough different houses in Sylvanian Families range so many have same kind of houses but we try to make each different and personalise them best we could. Needless to say our placements of houses keeps changing when new buildings arrive:) At the moment we only have our extra critters in the shelfs, we keep our critters safe from dust and ash in boxes.
This is in our SF room where most of our collection is in. It was suppose to have all our houses and critters but.............
With time our collection found way outside their SF room and into our family living/hobby room
Just outside our SF room
Our critters, bagged, marked and boxed.
Our Sylvanian working table, it's always a mess
Sylvanian items we want to work on
And from there into another room!
Here are older pictures, our collection layout, placing is changing all the time.
Here I have experiment with having plastic around each house also to see if it will make the Critters and inside 100% dust free.
Too big for shelf
So instead plastic around the house it self
