Painted Cork Board Wall Gallery

I read it wasnt a good idea painting cork board because the pin marks show when its painted.
My tiles were cheap not the beautiful cork you see in some pictures.
I picked them up from a charity shop and beggars cant be choosers!!
Well I just couldnt live with a wall that looked like the colour of dog poop!!!
It just wasnt a good colour and really didnt compliment the room..so pin marks were the lesser of  2 evils :)
I gave it 2 coats of white homemade chalk paint...
Gosh it looks so much better and I have a huge wall that I can play around without to much effort...
