Ikea hack - Duktig kitchen

So now I live in a country that has IKEA... so.... I bought a DUKTIG play kitchen. I thought it looked a bit boring in the plain wood colour, and I thought it would be fun to add another function to it, so before assembling the kitchen I spray painted the side panels with blackboard paint. It was my first spray painting experience and I was very impressed with the result - a lovely smooth surface and very quick and easy to do. I did three coats and it seems to work well. To rub out the chalk we use the little sponge you can see by the sink - works perfectly.

Now we have two chalk boards that take up no extra space in the house, and my daughter uses them to write the menu for her cafe'!
