As I took apart my MOCs from BrickFair, I began the greatest of all LEGO organizing tasks: separating old gray from new gray. It took a few days and I had to buy some new storage containers as the ones pictured weren’t big enough for old gray, but I’m done now!

I bought about $25 worth of new containers for my LEGO bricks, including a new set of drawers for plates. I’ll take photos once they’re all back in the cabinet somehow, but pretty much everything is sorted nicely and I’m proud of it all. There’s something satisfying and soothing about sorting and organizing LEGO bricks; I’ve always thought so. In fact, it was one of my very favorite things to do as a kid. I’d dump all my LEGO bricks out and organize them in the 4 divided containers my parents had given me one Christmas from IKEA. Now I’m dealing with bricks on a slightly larger scale.
