CONTEST: Wooden Block Challenge
We just received an amazing collection of wooden blocks at our Midtown West location. While they look great displayed side-by-side, we know there are so many more innovative uses for these unique pieces. Post a comment with how you would use the blocks and the winning idea will win one block of their choice! Feel free to come into the store to get some hands on inspiration!
We're giving you a week and you can enter with as many ideas as you'd like (don't forget to add your name with each idea you post)! Post your ideas by Wednesday, November 17 and we'll announce a winner soon after!

I would love to use them as book ends!
ReplyDeleteHang them on the wall as sconces and add a cool candle.
ReplyDeleteThey'd make for very interesting caps on the ends of railings on a staircase.
ReplyDeleteThey would be awesome as brackets to hold a shelf.
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas! Keep 'em coming!
ReplyDeleteYou could use them as corbels (with added support)for your kitchen island. You could stagger them on a wall to create an organic composition. You could use them as corner caps adding to your crown molding.
ReplyDeleteInstead of using the always anticipated "balls,fruit, seashells" to a large basket, you could make an intresting composition with these.
You can have them made into eclectic lamps.
I am certain there are more ideas, I just need a minute to think about it.
You could drill a small dowled hole through them and use them as brackets for a curtain rod.
ReplyDeleteYou could add hanging hardware to the back,a hook to the front and use them as a decorative bathrobe holder.
ReplyDeleteThanks to everyone for entering! We loved all your creativity and each of your ideas! We couldn't decide on just one idea, so you've all won! We're going to post all of these inspired uses at the store and invite you all in to pick out your very own block. Email The Snoot at thesavvysnoot@gmail.com for details! Congrats!
