One of our big Christmas projects this year was creating a Lego Table for the boys. Ben's dad and stepmother worked with us to build one that had all of the components that we felt the boys needed. When we first started thinking about a table, I thought it would be easy to buy one. After searching for one, I quickly found out they were all awful! They are small and short and have no storage. So, we decided to make one. It definitely cost more to build than it would have to buy one, but it was so worth it! This table will grow with them. The table top is adjustable height with building plates adhered to it, it has storage units that are double width and the bins are 2 deep, and has a separate tabletop that can serve as a craft or puzzle surface. What is even better is that when they are finished using it as a Lego table, the storage units can be unbracketed and the table top cut in half so that we can move it upstairs to their rooms. Then each boy will have their own desk with 10 storage bins each. It has been a hit!
The next day was spent the day testing it out with Ben's family and the boys but that night Ben and I headed over to some friend's for a Tacky Christmas party.
Don't we look lovely...
