Totally Modular - The Container House Official LEGO Comments 1 ~~Maximise the amount of modular construction in your next house with this model. The design is inspired by a global trend toward buildings constructed around a core of used transport containers. In this case the design is based around five transport containers which are connected at three levels.
The containers include detailed furniture for: • Hall and study • Three bedroom areas • Shower and bath room • Plus a deck area for outdoor dining, relaxation and entertainment. The level of modularity is boosted by construction using a maximum number of the 6x5x1 container parts and the equivalent sized wall element, which is used in a transparent colour to be windows. In addition to adapting used transport containers for this building it is also designed to be an oasis in a city, including extensive planting and water features and a rock garden on the highest level. The model fits on a 32x32 base and has a footpath at ground level that would fit in dimensions with LEGO modular buildings, either providing a contrast to the conventional older style of buildings or setting a style for a new district in the city. There are detailed aspects on all sides of the model and the size of the transparent wall elements gives a view into the house from all angles.
Extendable – as this model is based on both standard sized primary parts and around a standard transport container design it would be possible to build larger and more complex structures if you had more than one set or if LEGO sold the containers separately as a module. A support picture of a real life container building is included. As this shows sets with containers of different colours would also be good to use. Links to TV Programmes – this type of model would be of interest to fans of TV programmes such as Grand Designs or Amazing Spaces in the UK, Grand Designs in Australia or Extreme Homes in the USA. Dimensions – the model is on a 32x32 base plate, there are 3 minifigs, 2 butterflies and overall the model has 955 pieces.Playroom LegoBed Playroom OrganizeKid OrganizePlayroom OrganizedSets OrganizedBedroom PlayroomHadley OrganizeOrganisedModern OrganizingForwardUse mesh laundry bags to organize toys.

You love that those colorful little bricks get your master builders thinking outside the box, but the failed attempts to keep them all in one place is almost as painful as when you step on one… with bare feet… in the dark (Psst! The two are related!). That’s why we’ve gathered the most clever LEGO storage solutions we could find. From the ultimate table to hardware store hacks, there’s a fix for your brick explosion here.

Get yourself to the local DIY store, pick up a package of plastic bins and just like that, you’ll have an easily accessible solution to your kid’s brick collection. We love the way Heidi over at Happiness is Homemade used her err… block, when it comes to LEGO. Get the detailed list of what you’ll need here. Tackle the Tiny Stuff Ever notice that LEGO sets come with a bit more, well, stuff, than when you were a kid? Using a tackle or jewelry-making box (snag one at your local crafting store) with tons of tiny compartments makes it easy to have a place for each little accessory: from food to sidekicks, tools and more. photo: B Inspired Mama The creative blogger at B-Inspired Mama uses vertical storage and wall space (instead of your kiddo’s bedroom floor!) with this fun way to store LEGOs. Using materials that are a cinch to grab from the hardware or discount store, label each bucket with a white paint marker and then sort, sort, sort!

LEGOs are something kids love all the way through up to middle school and beyond. When Michelle from That Mommy Blog was looking for a storage solution for her son’s exploding brick collection, she came up with this ingenious Adjustable Height DIY Lego Table and Storage Unit, which can be used forever! We love the fact that Michelle covered one side of the shelf with green baseplates, and left the other smooth for the option of building without baseplates. For the step-by-step instructions, visit That Mommy Blog. It’s a Type A’s dream. After listening to her boys say they wanted a color-coded sorting system, Jen of I Heart Organizing looked around and decided the IKEA Trofast system was the best way to go.
Those nifty little labels are made with paper and Mod Podge.

Believe us, once one of those suckers disappear, the chances of re-building that set are slim to none. We love the simple but brilliant idea from My 4 Misters & Their Sister. Even busy parents (meaning all of us!) can manage this one.

She upcycled a few frames from the local thrift store, had her kids pick the paint colors and, with the help of one incredible tube of glue, made a super clever and chic way to store LEGOs.
