How can I make over laundry room cabinets?

Contractor grade cabinets are slightly different colors and one has a drip stain. How do I update them?

Paint or sand down and refinish. If you don't want to do that much work, cover in contact paper.
I’d paint them with Fusion Mineral paint. It’s durable, easy to use and the colors are beautiful! :)
I would lightly sand and paint with Rustoleum. This way you will not have drip marks.
If you like wood, we used 000 steel wool to "sand" our 37 year old builder grade cabinets down. Then re-stained them. You could use a darker stain than you have now if the "drip" is still too noticeable.
Then we used a wipe on poly to seal them. I chose a glossy because I wanted a shiny look, but that is a personal choice.
Ours look brand new and I promise 37 years in a kitchen they were not pretty to start and at times through the process looked unsalvagable.
This is not a 2 hour type job, as you have cure times between stain and possible second coats and finish and possible second or third coats of finish. So you are looking at a few days. But if you like wood finish it is worth it as the end result is so nice and with the finish coats it will be easier to keep nice going forward.
Try painting them- and this is the BEST paint for cabinets: https://bachelorettepadflip.com/2018/04/09/why-i-had-my-kitchen-cabinets-painted-twice-in-two-weeks/
