I am sure those of you with girls are saying “Yeah, another Lego post!”
But even if you don’t share that same enthusiasm, this project may still be useful to you.
Instead of Lego mini figures insert – barbie accessories, strawberry shortcake paraphernalia, or porcelain figures
Just trust me and keep reading
Started off with wooden boxes which previously held a stamp set and a puzzle
Painted them white – two or three coats
Anchored them into the wall
Placed a small collection of Lego mini figures into the boxes
The boxes were placed next to the red display boxes we made a few months ago.
We added shelves I bought almost two years ago when a Container Store was going out of business (75% off baby!)
I need to add something above the boxes to finish out the space but for now it’s done.
The desk has papers covering it, the floor is covered in paper, and there are Mardi Gras beads in the shot. Just keeping it real. Many bloggers would have cleaned up their space before taking the pictures.
I did not….. Why?……. #1. I hate cleaning #2. It’s their room #3. I wanted the boys in bed so I could run downstairs and enjoy a bowl full of ice cream and magic shell.
Worked on any house projects lately?
I’m sure the boys are thrilled to be able to display their legos!
I love it! My son tries to display his legos ontop of his tv but they are always falling off.
This is something that he can do himself.
hehe this is cute! thanks for sharing and linkin up to tell me tuesday:)

maybe you could put monograms on the wall in the open space?
stopped by from made by you mondays! Very Creative!
Awesome idea. My girls would have love this for their barbies or care bears. And yes, nothing should come between you and magic shell!
Hi Jennifer!
So glad you linked up these cool wall storage ideas last week at the Tuesday To Do Party. My boys would LOVE to have a place to display AND store their extensive Lego collection!!! I’m behind commenting on everyone’s link up because on some technical difficulties…think they’re worked out now!!! Hope to see you again soon!
Smiles!

I so000 wanted to do this – but didn’t… I instead told him that they were “parking spaces” for his legos. Once they were full, he had to take one out and replace it with something else. I hope I inherit some more of those boxes so I can make him a special spot for his mini figures! 🙂
Great idea and I love that you didn’t clean the boys room. Thanks for keeping it real.
