Chalkboard kitchen makeover

Well, what a productive weekend! After buying my Heal's chalkboard, I got greedy and decided I wanted more chalkboard space - I absolutely love how cool they look and bit the bullet and went ahead with my floor-to-ceiling one this weekend. I'm thrilled at how this turned out, as I was a little scared about how a pokey kitchen with no natural light would cope with an expanse of black.

I was getting very fed up of having the fridge with various electrical appliances balanced on top on show (I have next to no worktop space, so the gap on top of the fridge is where things like the food processor or iron end up), and this chalkboard does a brilliant job of hiding it! I'm already looking forward to scribbling all over it. Now, I'm planning on reinventing the original chalkboard, which is in an ornate frame, and replacing the board to make a mirror - waste now, want not! Take a look at the before and after pics below - what do you think?
