Hi everyone!

My collection and my Lego room is ever so expanding.  I'm almost running out
of room.  But there is one thing that I really need help with.  I have the
boxes to over 80% of my entire Lego collection.  I would like to incorporate
them someway into my Lego room so they are not stacked on top of each other
in the closet.  I feel the boxes HAVE to be displayed.  The only thing I can
think of is putting pallets underneath my tables and putting the boxes on
top of those but that really isn't displaying.  It's just basically saying I
don't have anymore room so I am throwing them underneath the table.

That's where everyone here comes in.  Can anyone help me think of some ideas
of how to display the boxes?  Any help whatsoever would be great.  Thanks a
lot! :-)

If you are also displaying the models, use the boxes as a stand or a
backdrop for the model.  Eats up a lot of space, though.

Or, carefully seperate the boxes along the seams, and use them as wallpaper. :)


I've thought about doing that with my boxes.  I've also thought about
getting a big sheet of plexiglas and stacking the boxes behind the sheet,
and then attaching the whole thing to the wall.  It acts as wallpaper, but
doesn't destroy the boxes.  The only problem is your walls are 6 inches
closer, and it's sort of hard to hang stuff on them anymore :)
