I sorted bricks and plates by color into the "shoebox" size rubbermaid totes with some luck but recently reversed that and re-sorted all those bins by size instead of color. This allows a quicker access to the smaller pieces of a particular color without having to dig through all the 2x6 and larger blocks. With those bins, I learned a valuable lesson from Tony Hafner. There isn't much in them, leave the lid off and stack the next box on top, save a ton of space on the shelf.

I have 4 "nuts and bolts" chest of drawers with anywhere from 20-40 drawers for smaller and more unique pices but those are pretty much full and I'm estimating need for a few more. At this point I'm going to go for the smaller drawer versions. Anything that outgrows a big drawer in the sets I have will go into a shoebox bin w/o a lid.

Then agian, I still have two or three unsorted rubbermaid toes to get to sorting, almost none of them containing basic brick. :|
