How do I add a mini fridge to a cabinet space?
I'm installing a wet bar in a former pantry space. There is just enough width for a cabinet with about two cabinet doors. The bar will have a countertop, wet bar sink, and mirrors and shelves for holding glasses.
My question is how do I put in the mini fridge? It is small enought to fit in the cabinet and will take up about half of the front face of the cabinets. Do I glue the cabinet door to the front of the fridge and position the fridge in the proper place? If so, how does the door open correctly and not bump against the cabinet frame?
I think just leaving the fridge there without a cabinet door would look funny since the stainless steel would take up half of the bar face.
Actually the first thing I thought of was how are you going to ventilate the space. If heat builds up in the cabinet, it might prematurely cause the unit to fail. The grid in the back is trying to dissipate heat to recharge the freon; if it can't it will cycle the hot freon back to the unit, and that will reduce its ability to cool. As far as aesthetics, I'd allow the steel to show. Complement it with other stainless objects like a cork puller or brushed nickel hardware and you'll be stylin'.
