Boiler ideas!

Whenever I think of the phrase "pick someones brains" I always have gruesome thoughts...

Anyway...

I have an old boiler that is in perfect working condition (seen the offical gas checks) but for me, it is so ugly that i was wondering if I could hide it somehow.

Two things:

Can I cover a boiler? Health and safety and all that.

And two...how could I cover it?? Any creative ideas very much appreciated.

p.s it is under a work surface!
