4. Use Books as a Knife Block
We’ve all got books that we’ve read but couldn’t fathom throwing or giving away.
Instead, why not decorate your kitchen with them? Add character to one of the busiest rooms in the home by turning a selection of old books into a DIY knife block.
Pick some pretty books in your favorite color scheme and tie them together with twine or an attractive ribbon to create a quirky home for your kitchen knives. This way, you can even read your old favorites once you’re in the mood!
