I've lived in this house for over 8 years now, I've lived with this kitchen for all that time.
I gave up hoping for a new kitchen years ago and I definately gave up hoping for one when the ex moved out. Friends tell me I should have just ordered a new one years ago when me and him were still together but that's not the way I am.
So between Xmas and New Year I decided enough was enough. I can't afford a new kitchen for anytime in the near future so after scrubbing all the units down with sugar soap, I took the blackboard paint that I'd used in wee one's bedroom.
And this is what happened....
I think it looks so much better and so does everyone who's seen it.
Bonus points for the fact that now me and the smalls can have hours of fun drawing on the walls and no one tells us off.

I have been obsessed with blackboard paint for years since my sister painted it on the cupboard door of my nephew's bedroom about 9 years ago! Never been able to find somewhere to paint it though, I just love the idea of writing all over the cupboards!
Fan bloody tastic!
I am totally in love with black board paint at the moment but living in rented can't do my kitchen units :o( so will have to find something else to paint instead ;o)
