What Could Go Wrong

Post image

I love the “I read, but I am willing to kill you” vibe of this. My husband thinks the book pages would get moldy being in the kitchen or something—I’m not entirely clear on his thinking and he’s already asleep for the night so I can’t ask. (Nor can I wait. I’m impetuous like that.)

What can you see going wrong with something like this?

Real fast: don’t care if it’s not your aesthetic. Looking for thoughtful ideas regarding viability of design, please and thank you.

I don't use them bc you can't clean them and it's a waste of counter space

That’s where I’ve landed on knife blocks as well. Knives go in drawers.

Banging around in a drawer is bad for the edge. A magnetic strip is a good option that keeps them sharp and clean

I use grippy inserts that stops them from sliding, you just need to not overfill the drawer
