I love that weeks later, out of the blue, I will get a late comer sharing his/her opinion on an older subject. I LOVE that.
Thank you to everyone who responds and
shares and participates. I enjoy reading them
all. And it also tells me that you enjoy
this series.
Speaking of sharing your thoughts and participating… I have a fun event that I share
on my Facebook page that runs every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. It’s called
“What I Like/What I Don’t Like.” I post the same picture of a design or project twice a day. The first posting is when you can share “What I Like” opinions, and the second posting, later in the day, is when you can share “What I Don’t Like” thoughts.
For example, here is the most recent picture I shared.
way too much “stuff.”
(Like my Disney World plates and Sea World Sippies.)
Others said you already had open shelving and loved it.
When my oldest grandson came to live with
us while our son and DIL were both deployed
to Iraq, he loved to be in the kitchen with me while I cooked. It soon became apparent that having my knives in a drawer within his reach
was not going to work.
set of these…
still use my magnet strips. Even though I
get an occasional email telling me how much prettier my kitchen would be if I didn’t have
the knife strips. 🙁
of Magnetic Knife Strips. You can be honest,
it won’t hurt my feelings. If I get too many
Nay’s and change my mind about using them
for my knives, I can always use them for this…
Hope you’re having a fabulous and blessed week.

Ok..I will go first….Nay. I wish I could give you a good reason, I just say Nay. Sorry.
View CommentNay, You know me and why I say Nay,this girl does not like things out and about in her kitchen, but I am not a gourmet cook either so mine are in a drawer!

Nay to the knives. They just look scary to me.
View CommentNay not so much Barbs..Now with the wood knives blocks if you turn your knives upside down when putting them in the block they will not dull as they are not touching the wood..found this trick out over 40 years ago..Great post..Hugs my dear friend..Oh I love my mason soap dispenser I got from you Thanks..even the packing was cute..
View CommentOh I am so happy you liked it. Send me a picture of it in your home and I would love to feature it in my newsletter and mention your blog, too. <3 Thx my friend!
View CommentYay! I do not have a lot of counter space in my small kitchen. And, even if I did have space for my knives in a drawer, which I don’t, I just don’t like knives stored in drawers. Right now I have two knife blocks, and I’m looking for the right knife magnet. I have no problems with my knives being out on display, because I have a pegboard that displays all my pots and pans. When you have a small kitchen with very limited storage space, you have to get creative!
BTW, do you like the knife magnet you have? I was looking at that one, but I read reviews that it nicked the edge of the blades.
View CommentI’m afraid that I’m in the nay camp on this one. They look scary to me and I’m afraid that one of my grands would be too tempted to grab one as they’re climbing up on the counter to get to some thing or other out of a cabinet. I’m not a person who spends a lot of time cooking, but even though I don’t care for the look, I can appreciate how much easier it makes the life of someone who does.
View CommentNay….don’t like the look. Your kitchen is beautiful though.
View CommentNay, a little to horror movie for me… Now the hot wheels on the other hand; AWESOME!
View CommentVery much Nay!
View CommentSorry to say, but I’m a Nay. I do have a small Wusthof block on my counter that holds 3 knives & a scissors. I downsized from the large block. And then I put all of my knives in dividers in a drawer. Not the pretty wooden one above, just stainless steel drawer baskets. I’m trying to de-clutter my countertops. (For me, the knives hanging on the wall is too horror-movie-ish…but that’s just my very small, and quite insignificant, opionion.)
View CommentNay for me, too. Sorry. I think it looks okay in a very industrial style kitchen. I am lucky enough to have built a drawer in below my microwave just for knives (oh and my can opener). I do think your strip is probably convenient though-xo Diana
View CommentNay!!!!! Too “industrial” looking.
View CommentNay to knives on the walls or counters….I was told it was bad Feng Shui….
View CommentI just discovered your blog…and I’m sorry to say, it’s a NAY!! Doesn’t feel right, too industrial…threatening! Sorry. 😉
View CommentI just discovered your blog! I am happy I did. I would have to say NAY, kind of scary. I have to say I do like the knife holders you pictured. Wouldn’t use one of those either, not enough counter space.

View CommentHi! A definite nay for me, especially in a farmhouse kitchen. Besides–it’s scary looking.
View CommentBy the way, I just discovered your blog and I am now addicted. I have been poking around it for about an hour!! An hour!! It is just lovely and your house is soooooo beautiful.
