Lego tables don't have to be a huge piece of furniture that takes up half the living room! It can be as simple as a storage ottoman, or double as a homework desk when playtime is over. Having a designated Lego building area helps keep the pieces from wandering throughout the house!

Your lego storage area looks fantastic! I have a quick question though- can your son reach the wall mounted organizers? Or do they come down during play time for easy access? They look tall in the picture, but maybe that’s just the photo angle.
And I love Her Tool Belt's portable lego tote for the car! That really is genius!

It looks like the organizers are really high on the wall, but they're only a few feet high. The attic ceiling is sloped, so the point where it meets the wall is only 3 feet tall.
