this wasn't in the plan |but life is still pretty good

For the past several months, I've wanted a Lego table for my boys. But I didn't want to spend money on one (that's certainly the story of my life). I remember my mom once making a Lego table by gluing on some Lego base plates onto a coffee table, so I decided that's the route I wanted to take. But when I saw this at Creating Random Things (via Knock Off Wood), I realized I could get my kids a Lego table without even spending a dime.

We've had this toy storage unit (it came from IKEA) for a few years. And now it is a toy storage unit/Lego table after I simply glued on a few Lego base plates to the top of it.

Not only did I get what I wanted for free, but I also didn't need to bring any more furniture into the house, so I didn't need to find space for something new.
