DIY Lego Table

Some of you may have seen Lego table ideas on Pinterest or maybe you’ve seen people posting this idea on Facebook. What’s great about our job is that we “Pin” and then we actually make it, because it’s what we do. 🙂 I loved this idea from the start and knew if I ever got the chance to make it I would. Where was Pinterest when my son was younger? Oh well, now some other kid can enjoy it!

Kathy and I were on a mega pick when I saw this vintage two-tiered end table. Some of you might have one at home or you’ve seen this vintage style table at thrift stores or yard sales.  They are fairly easy to find.

What you need for this DIY project:

  • A two-tiered end table
  • Primer
  • Paint (I used spray paint for this project)
  • Wood filler (only if you need to fill in holes, this one had plugs missing from the screw holes)
  • Drill (to make your starter hole)
  • Jigsaw (to cut the opening)
  • A basket
  • A sheet or two smaller sheets of Lego base plate,these can be found at Toy’s r Us or you can order online.  The one I used was 48×48 (Lego measurements).
  • Lastly, some kind of thick adhesive to glue down the base plate.

Once I got the end table home, I measured the top so I could search for a basket to store Lego pieces. Once I found a basket, Bob flipped the basket over and traced it onto the top tier of the table. He then used a drill to make a starter hole so the jigsaw blade could fit inside. Once the hole was made he used the jigsaw to cut just a bit smaller than the line he traced. This way the lip of the basket would sit on the opening. Some sanding on the opening may be required.

I prepped the table by wiping it down to get it ready for primer. I used a small roller and paint brush.

Once the primer was dry, I took it outside where it was spray painted blue. I call it Lego Blue, I wanted a color common in Legos. Any color would work, you could even match it your decor.

After it’s all dry I inserted the basket and glued on the base plate (I used Loctite Adhesive Caulk). You can use any kind of thick adhesive to glue down the base plate(s).

This a fun play table your kids will enjoy.

And you’ll enjoy it because it keeps your child’s Lego’s neat and tidy. 😉

It can be painted any color to fit someone’s decor, so it’s not an eyesore in your living space. It would also be great for a playroom or a daycare for the older kids.

Enjoy and let your kids imagination create something great!

    Hi Kathy and Karen

    What a fantastic resource you have here! I’ve pinned it for my future reference because I know there will be some furniture painting in my very near future.

    Thanks for putting this together

    How did you cut the LEGO base?

      Hi Pam, thanks for commenting! If you’re referring to the gray base, we didn’t have to cut it. It fit perfectly on the table top.

    […] The Salvaged Boutique took a vintage table and did a complete revamp. Some paint, an added basket and a sheet for starting any Lego buildings or designs, this is a great way to create a table for the kids to enjoy. […]

And that’s a wrap! We’re home from our buying And that’s a wrap! We’re home from our buying trip. We’ll need the next two days to rest and relax after 6 super busy days! 😴 

We won’t take for granted the time we got to spend with each other, the laughs we had or that we get to do something we love. ❤️ 

We genuinely believe that we get to know all of you a little better each year, which means what we bring in the store gets a little better each year too. 

We CAN’T WAIT for you to see it all as it arrives throughout the year. We think you’ll love it all! 

We’ll be open again on Tuesday at 10am.

Most of you know our store is a mix of goods - our refurbished furniture pieces, mixed with a little vintage and upcycled, plus handmade and local items. 

But we also spend some days at “market” each year so we can source and curate all of the other new goods we carry in the store. 

We are very intentional when we do this.  The look, the quality, the price- point, these are are all important aspects of what we do (the decision fatigue is real here! 🤣). But these are important to us because we know it’s important to YOU! 

Some showrooms have what we think you’ll love and some showrooms don’t but then there are showrooms like this one, where it’s just pure joy and inspiration! 💕🌈🙌🏼
