Now he’s amassed a collection of about a quarter of a million pieces in the basement of his family’s 1902 Seattle house. You may have read about it on Houzz.

Here Pelletier goes through one of 189 drawers that sorts the 250,000 Lego pieces by color and type.

On the right you can see a wall of bins that organizes the collection.

The space also includes a full bar for entertaining friends. Pelletier excavated the floor 2½ feet to get 9-foot ceilings that make the subterranean area feel quite spacious.

Upstairs in the living room, floor-to-ceiling bookcases maximize storage space, while white trim pops against colorful walls.
