    Hi this looks good. But did u attach it to the wall in anyway? I was thinking of making a box but tiling onto it and having it stuck to wall with no nails maybe
    .but not sure if good idea in case ever need access...

      Yes I used magnetic catches to fix it to the wall so it easily pulls away for access. If you search magnetic cupboard catches on google you’ll see what they are - you can pick these up in all diy stores. They are in two parts so there is a larger plastic section that fits to the inside rear of the box then a small metal strip that attaches to the wall. I actually superglued these onto the tile rather than screwing because they are so small and I’d recommend using at least 4 in total to hold the weight as it may tip forward if loaded with spices! Hope this helps ☺️

      Good solution to use magnetic cupboard catches and the cupboard can be removed in case of the need.

    You did a great job! I have just had boiler moved into my kitchen and will try all your ideas. Good idea about magnets, I was just going to let it sit in position but was worried it would get knocked over so I'll def get some magnets. Thanks for sharing 👍 😊

    Nice video, noticed you have the same spice racks as me and then even the same kitchen cabinets and handles, and also a Worcester and Bosch boiler with the same unsightly pipes problem underneath! Nice idea about fitting the spice racks there: I think I'll do that too!

    I got a similar cover made, but mine has the boiler programmer attached. I may make it another one that's a bit bigger, then I'd have space for two of the Ikea shelves. What a brilliant 💡 idea! Really admire you doing all the work yourself, you made it look so easy 🙂 xx

    The heat from the boiler will fuck up at least that top row...and the jars should be in a dark cupboard...or painted.

      Hey - it’s from Screwfix - they still stock them it was £21.99. It’s really not bad you know for the price and good for smaller little jobs. Mine lost one of the plastic feet so it wobbles a bit which is a pain but overall it’s pretty good and folds flat to store away!

      Carnage in what way ? It pulls away for access to pipes and not fixed to the wall 🤷🏻‍♀️ admittedly the wall behind was shocking but the tiling over was spot on - check out the finished kitchen
