    You could turn this into a coffee bar. Begin by removing the glass doors on the top and middle compartments. Put your coffee pot in the top compartment. Put your coffee cups/mugs in the middle section and use the bottom compartment for storing the coffee, sugar, dry creamer, filters, etc.

      I'm not sure if I can use a primer and then paint the cabinet on the outside. I'm trying to transition into grey in my kitchen. Have a happy Easter!🐰🐇

    What do you want to upcycle the cabinet into/for what purpose?


    By laminate do you mean recover?

    Hi Karen, you can cover the cabinet with contact paper or removable wallpaper. They sell it at Walmart, hardware stores and craft stores. I actually covered an entire wall in my bathroom with contact paper and a dresser and it was really easy. You can cover the outside in grey and then add something with a pop of color that shows through the glass.

    go with the contact paper. laminates are more like a veneer, very thin and can be a bit brittle. the last time I replaced the counter top with one I used rubber cement on the on the counter surface, and on the back of the laminate. bit tricky to get it into place.

    Thank you, for your input I really appreciate it. seems like contact paper can be a bit tricky as well because of the bubbles. I will still look into it. Happy Easter!🐰🐣🐇
