Mother of Invention?

Okay, the title may be over the top but this little idea I had satisfied my craving for a $50 item.  I think the complete saying is "Desperation is the Mother of Invention".


I was skimming all my catalogs the other night and I came upon this nifty knife block.  I kinda wanted it bad.  Problem was, I already had a knife block....and, I didn't have $50 to spend.

Enter my idea.  Command hooks are just amazingly versatile.  In fact, Pinterest.com has a great board dedicated to these nifty things. But, I don't think my idea was on there yet! Could this idea be so grand?  A gal can dream can't she?

So here goes.  The pictures are pretty self explanatory.  Is the $50 item better looking?  Of course!  But it's $50.  Verses $2.95 for a 2 pack, I think I'll take the latter.
