Legohead

If at any moment, during any given day, you were to go downstairs in my basement (playroom/tv room) you would probably find a MESS of legos all over the floor. Ethan has been obsessed with legos for at least a year now, which means I, have been picking up tiny little legos on a daily basis for 365 days now. I must say my vacuum has eaten it's share as well. So, I decided to do something about it this past weekend. We all got in the car and drove to IKEA in Chicago hoping to be inspired. Here's what we came up with...

$69 table from Ikea - we cut 4 holes in it so that the buckets could drop right in. Then we glued down 3 of the Lego bases. We already had the light.


4 Ikea buckets ($1.50 each). How long do we think it will take him to mix all of them up? 2 days?

Ethan in action!



Yahhhhh! No more picking up Legos!

I am the first to see it and the first to comment. You make these and sell them. That is all I am saying. It is absolutely amazing! You two are unbelievable! The world is a better place because of you guys! Ethan looks to pleased! Did he help?

I'm a buyer if it comes with legos, and can ethan come too? May the fish tank rest in peace (it's not downstairs anymore?)

When I get my basement done, I'm getting one too. Great idea.

WOW! Love the idea. We have two Lego maniacs and one more on the way. I have sworn that I would never buy another lego set again. Maybe if they had a couple of these, I could go back on my word. SMARTY PANTS!

Josie. I am your mom's friend Liz from NY. Funny thing that your mom pointed me to your blog a few days ago and I read through it and thought, that lego table would be a great idea on my friend Gabby's (design mom)blog! Little did I know that it was already on her blog when I was scrolling down just now! How did you hear about design mom all the way across the country?! That's such a coincidence. Great blog and good to catch up with you! Saw you on Oprah the other day too, btw. You're popping up everywhere!
