Ugly but functional...

When we changed our kitchen doors over to bring the kitchen up to date, we needed to buy two drawer cupboard units as the old ones were breaking. We kept the bottom boards from their drawers and use them as:
A cooker splashback, which gets stored when not in use, down by the side of the boiler.

Every now and then, they get a scrub down and eventually won't be viable but they have done us for an age, as did their previous versions.

We do, as you can see, have tiles but if left to their own devices, fat splashes onto them but more importantly, onto the grout, making everything sticky and grubby. The tiles are not the shiny ones so if any residue builds up on them, it takes forever to clean it off.

  1. Hmmm.. perhaps not very pretty but then, who is going to see it? A great idea. I wish I had thought of something similar before my tile grout became discoloured!

    1. Fat stained grout can be difficult to deal with can’t it.

  2. Great idea! Nothing worse than fat splattered tiles - much elbow grease needed!

    1. It’s one of the things I notice most in a kitchen.

  3. Great way to recycle something that might have been trashed otherwise.

    God bless.

    1. We also use one of the drawers to stand wet boots in.
