droomangroup Posted April 19, 2015 Author Posted April 19, 2015 Nicely done - I should pop out from the Technic/Model Team forum more often so I get to see more cool stuff like this! Your biggest problem now is going to be what happens when your collection outgrows it - the more effort you put into a storage solution, the harder it is to upgrade! thanks :) yeah, it's true but i do have a contingency plan. the row of small bins on the red wall could get a whole other row and there's lots of space in the closet for more bins or overflow bins. my plan is to weed out older brick or just keep large caches of newer bricks in their own type/color containers in the closet. even though i'm not big on the small hardware bins for like screws/nuts, i may go with a set of those for organizing technics parts, that's the one bin that's going to get hard to search thru as it fills up.

stevkir Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 Beautiful room and makes me jelly. Though you did give me some good ideas for what I can do in my offices closet and the next time I get down to Salt Lake City I plan on swinging by the Container Store and getting a few things. Quote
Kaleb705 Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 Outstanding! if it were my room I'd likely never leave! :) Quote
MikeMo Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 I had to create an account just to say how great your room looks! We share a lot of the same taste in design and LEGO. Cheers! Quote

bgladd1 Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 Great room! This has inspired me! What colors are used on the wall? I really like the combination! Quote
KlodsBrik Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 Now while this has been upped anyways i just have to say how much i love what youve done with your room. Im an educated cabinet maker, and did somewhat the same a lot of years ago, it looked clean for a week, then i realised that i had to have a lot more cabinets and drawers + shelves to make the growing collection fit. Now its all spoiled and looks a lot like BlondieWan´s room. Lets just say that my gf aint that happy about it neither. Anyhow, everytime i do use weeks to clean it up, my brain goes berserk and comes up with ideas for new builds, and it only takes me a day to mess it all up once again. But !!!! ...... Your room looks fantastic the way youve deigned it and the setup. How does it look now ? ... Hehe Quote
Brickface Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 Great room - i'm moving house next month and have my eye on the small box 3rd bedroom. The only problem is that the packed boxes of unopened Lego would already struggle to fit so maybe a shed is necessary. Any excuse. Quote
Jackad7 Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 Wow I'm really jealous, just curious do you have a spreadsheet or something of the different materials used so at some point I could try this? Thanks! Quote
thebrickbin Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 Thank you for sharing these pictures and your process! I'm always curious to see how other people sort and manage their LEGO collections. Quote
_Samibotss_ Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 What a beatiful room! I wish I had that organization... Quote
bgladd1 Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 Another question (for all): where is a good place to get LEGO wall decals? Thanks! Quote
connyx Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 Am so jealous of everyone who has the space to have a "Lego room". Really cool. Hope more people will show us their little heaven here! Quote

droomangroup Posted January 6, 2016 Author Posted January 6, 2016 (edited) Great room! This has inspired me! What colors are used on the wall? I really like the combination! Thanks, the red is call "Stop Sign" and the grey is called "Seal Gray" they are both from the True Value paint colors (I live in a small town with no big box stores) Now while this has been upped anyways i just have to say how much i love what youve done with your room. Im an educated cabinet maker, and did somewhat the same a lot of years ago, it looked clean for a week, then i realised that i had to have a lot more cabinets and drawers + shelves to make the growing collection fit.

Your room looks fantastic the way youve deigned it and the setup. How does it look now ? ... Hehe thx! it stays fairly clean, although not as clean as my OCD would like :) sharing it with an 11yo can be challenging, but she knows the deal. One thing I've done to help with messes is I've added bins in the closet for projects, so when a project is stalled we can dump all related parts in a project bin and clean up our work space a bit. here's what it looks like right now... Great room - i'm moving house next month and have my eye on the small box 3rd bedroom. The only problem is that the packed boxes of unopened Lego would already struggle to fit so maybe a shed is necessary. Any excuse. hahaha, well, yeah that's a challenge. Time to open them up and build :) Wow I'm really jealous, just curious do you have a spreadsheet or something of the different materials used so at some point I could try this? Thanks! Nah, not really, but it's actually pretty basic as far as materials. It's just the trofast bins, a few sheets of black melamine and some 2x4's. Although the melamine is showing signs of dulling from the bricks scratching them, so I may make the effort in the future to replace them with something tougher like formica. Still, it looks ok, and works great. Thank you for sharing these pictures and your process! I'm always curious to see how other people sort and manage their LEGO collections. thanks :) speaking of sorting, I did re-sort some bins as some bins were getting crowded. I made room by adding some large bins in the closet and the new layout seems to be working. Here's my master doc showing the bin labels... Another question (for all): where is a good place to get LEGO wall decals? Thanks! I'd look on Etsy or Ebay. That is well organised, well jealous Am so jealous of everyone who has the space to have a "Lego room". Really cool. Hope more people will show us their little heaven here! Trust me, I know the feeling. The problem with LEGO is it's never enough :) I have a Legoroom like this: https://www.instagram.com/p/5kO-ZRGeVA/?taken-by=chilis_no Feel free to see my pictures on my Instagram profile, instagram.com/chilis_no very nice! followed :) Edited January 6, 2016 by droomangroup Quote
ctx1769 Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 Started to de-clutter boxroom as part of spring clean, to create a lego room (which I have to use for wargaming and Meccano building too) but mostly lego. 2.9m x 2m it not huge but big enough. Quote
Dopplercb Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 Wow. I love your room! My stuff is in bins and on shelves and the floor. Haha. Quote
Siobhan Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 Hello! I love this room and want to recreate it for my son. May I ask how you made the work top? Is it Melamine or Plywood? Also, did you have to paint it black? Thank you! X Quote
zux Posted May 26, 2018 Posted May 26, 2018 I'd say it doesn't really matter if you chose melamine or plywood, whichever works for you best. However I would suggest painting it white, rather than black. This way it would be much-much easier to see all the parts you have on a table and find one when you need it. Quote
