Shelves are a great way to store things: collections, books, blankets and more. Built-ins can typically hold more just because they can fill the entire area. Not too long ago we wanted to build shelves in a bedroom. In this particular bedroom there are an abundance of Legos. In an effort to contain the overflow of ships, boats, planes, space crafts, trains and more my husband designed and built shelves to house some of these goodies. As much as I love stepping on them every time I enter the room, we had to somehow control the overflow! For this project we chose a wall that was sandwiched by a window on side and the closet door on the opposite. To best utilize the space he cut 4 rails to attach to the walls – floor to ceiling, two on the back wall and one on each side wall. Then he cut the actual shelves and attached them to the rails with pocket screws. The end result was fabulous and can house – not all – but some of the massive collection!
