Hack using IKEA's BEKVÄM Spice Racks
The Spice Racks come flat packed so are ready for painting as soon as they are unwrapped. I used tester pots from Wilko, £1 each for 75ml. I used the colours Sugar Sweet, Lemon Burst and Bermuda.
I painted the racks with a foam roller with one coat and allowed them to dry completely before giving them a second coat.
Once they were completely dry I then gave them a finishing coat of varnish using Wilko Satin Quick Dry Ultra Tough Quick Dry Clear Varnish, £3 for 250ml.
I fixed the racks to a piece of 10mm mdf using screws which they hook on to and fixed that piece of wood to the wall as my walls are plasterboard so they don't take well to screws. The racks can fit quite a few books, they are great value for money and make books more accessible to my Daughter than an ordinary shelf for books
