Painted Knife Block

I don’t know why it never occurred to me to paint my knife block before now. I wanted to add a few more red accents in my kitchen and thought I would attack my knife block with some red spray paint. Doesn’t the updated block look so much nicer {and cleaner}?

I have had this oak beauty since the day we were married (almost 13 years ago). I swear I have cleaned it in my married life it just doesn’t look like it. {Guh-ross!}

After washing it with soap and water really good I sanded it down to make sure all the grease was off of it. I spray primed it with gray primer and then painted it with Rustoleum’s Heritage Red spray paint. I needed something a little less bright than my beloved Krylon Cherry Red so I opted for the Heritage Red.
