DIY Monogram Knife Block

I recently updated my old wooden knifeblock with a little paint and a stenciled monogram.

If my cutlery had little hands, they would high five me.
Mostly because it used to look like this.


It was really easy to update the knifeblock.
All I needed was paint, a stencil, and a little foam roller.


I decided to paint the wood a soft blue, Behr Light French Gray.


It's my absolute favorite blue.


and then because I'm obsessed with stencils, I decided to monogram an initial on it with a stencil.


I love the way it turned out. Definitely better than that sad little wood block. 


And it really goes great with all of our kitchen decor (see kitchen here, here, and here).



Thanks for stopping by! Don't forget to pin this post so you can find it when you need it!

  1. Love this! Who would have thought knife storage could be cool!

    And the color is fabulous!

    And your hubby shouldn't worry too much, tell him the paint will wash off his forehead (if he scrubs really hard)!

  3. I love this idea!! It's so simple but I honestly would have never thought to paint my knife block. The stencil was just an added stroke of genius. I may have to do this sometime!

    (P.S. I think we might have the exact same knife block :)

  6. What a great idea. It turned out beautifully. Since you used flat paint are you concerned about being able to keep it clean?

  12. I love this idea! It turned out so cute!!

    I'm definitely going to do this one. We have two knife blocks, and they take up so much visual space on the countertop. I think painting them would make them kind of disappear.
