Steph had the idea to build the ultimate Lego display and storage wall. With help from Wall Control, her dream became a reality!

When she was brainstorming ideas, it became clear that Wall Control panels and a variety of hooks and accessories would be perfect for the wall. As brand ambassador's for Wall Control, we emailed our plans and they provided all the Wall Control products used in this project. Thanks team! 

Take a look at how it all came together. 

Materials:

• Husky 52 in. Adjustable Height Workbench Table with 2-Drawers in White (Home Depot)

•

• 
  
• HEX Head Bolt 10mm

We've gotten pretty efficient at putting up Wall Control panels. This is the sixth set we've put up in our homes! Yes, we like it that much. The process is pretty simple and made even easier when you work as a team. One of us holds the panel in place, while the other one marks the screws hole placement. We like to put a spade bit into the hole and tap it with a rubber mallet. It leaves a mark in the center making it really easy to do the next step which is to drill the holes for the anchors that go into the drywall. This step is not necessary if the panel placement ends up on a stud. Absolutely none of ours ended up on a stud! We have the luxury of owning more than one set of drills, so we each got a set, one with a drill bit and one with a driver bit. This doubled the speed in which we installed the panels!

The wall serves as space to store completed sets and as storage for bricks. Smaller pieces find homes in drawers and open bins, while other pieces are stored in lidded clear plastic containers.

One of the first projects we did when MDP was founded was a pallet Lego table. Well, the grandkids/niblings have moved away meaning Steph could now have an adult size table in the Lego room. We decided a white Husky worktable with drawers would be perfect. Sometimes you can get these already assembled from The Home Depot, but ours came unassembled. We make use of this Husky socket set to complete the assembly.

The socket set has two sizes of handles. I chose the smallest one which fit easily into this tight space.

Here's a little nifty hack we came up with! We gave our worktable a little power lift! We realized that with the right size hex head screw, we could put it in a drill and be able to raise and lower the table super fast. Note: A couple of months ago, we took the top off another Husky worktable and replaced it with Steph's dining room table top. We often have to move Steph's dining room table which was difficult. Steph thought the mobility of the Husky worktable and adjustable height would work perfectly. And you know what, it does! We actually came up with the power lift idea because once the dining room table was on the Husky base the hand crank could not be use as the table top hung over the crank. The drill/hex head screw works perfectly.

Not all Husky worktables have drawers but this one does and it's perfect for holding various sizes of building plates.

Clear bins makes it easy to see what is inside.

Steph found various Lego piece images online and used them to create these silhouettes on the Cricut Maker from white vinyl.

The multi-drawer boxes are from Wall Control. They only come in black so we spray painted them a glossy white. We used Rust-Oleum spray paint that can be used on plastic. We sprayed these well ahead of when we needed to install them so they'd have plenty of time to cure. Note: Prior to spray paining, I cleaned the box part with Krud Kutter Gloss-Off applied with a Scotch Bite green pad.

There are two new Wall Control products shown here. On the right side of the pic are two white plastic covers. These are screw hole plugs that cover the screw holes. The second is the shelf guard that holds the building plates. It helps to contains the things that might have a tendency to fall off a shelf. We love the look of both of these. Also of note, although not new, is the 8" slotted metal pegboard hanger. You'll see in the video that Steph made use of these in a most delightful way. See if you can spot them in the video.

Now if your Lego collection is not quite as extensive as Steph's or you don't have the budget for an entire wall, then start with just one section and add on as your collection grows.

For a smaller collection, this Husky 10-compartment portable storage box might be just the thing. When it comes to this kind of box, whether you're storing Lego or screw, the individual containers need to be removable. I know this because I've had boxes where the compartments don't come out and it's very inconvenient! These boxes stack as well so they could be used in place of the large clear plastic boxes.

These Husky boxes are also perfect for on-the-go Lego building! If my grandkids still lived in town, I'd make up one of these for each of them! (Wouldn't I be the coolest grandma ever!)

The finished Lego wall is pretty AWESOME!
