A Simple Outdoor Bar & Buffet For any Space

  • Your guests will love that they don't need to head back inside to get drinks or food. They can help themselves so that you can spend the time enjoying your party. There's also room to store dishes and drinkware, which prevents you from having to find space in your kitchen. This project is a win for both you and your guests!

    Materials Needed

    • a hutch or cabinet
    • mini fridge (measure to make sure it will fit inside your cabinet)
    • cabinet hardware
    • under-cabinet stemware rack
    • exterior paint
    • paintbrushes
    • paint roller
    • painter’s tape
    • canvas
    • drill
    • drill bit

    Find an Old Cabinet

    The bigger the better for maximum serving and storage space. Move it into a space where you have plenty of room to work and paint.

    Remove Doors and Shelving

    Start by removing the doors from the cabinet. Remove all of the shelves so you can give the back panel a fresh coat of paint.

    Replace the Hardware

    If you'd like, swap out the existing hardware with fun and colorful knobs.

    Drill Hole for Power Cord

    Drill a hole in the center of the bottom back panel large enough to fit the power cord of your mini fridge.

    Paint the Cabinet

    Paint the cabinet with a bright color. Let dry completely.
