[4] Want to upgrade your guest room, dorm room, break room, airbnb rental by adding a microwave, mini fridge and coffee maker? And also happen to love barn door anything? Well, how about a barn door cabinet, with mini fridge microwave snack cabinet (that also holds the coffee maker)? Page 3 of 24
Not only is the mini fridge cabinet totally gorgeous, but oh so functional too! It's sized just right for a mini fridge (we got the 2.6 cubic feet one) and a small microwave, with still lots of room for snacks or dinnerware. And the top is nice and big for a coffee maker and serving snacks from. We spent about $100 on this barn door cabinet - including the barn door hardware! - and it was a very easy build! You can watch us build it - and DIY the barn door hardware - in this video - Page 4 of 24
Yep, we DIYed the barn door hardware. Out of WASHERS. And it worked! Page 5 of 24
I'll get working on the barn door hardware tutorial right away, so you can hack your own for about $15. UPDATE: I've posted the tutorial for this DIY Barn Door Hardware with supply list here. [5] We stained our door with Varathane Aged Wood Accelerator in Rustic Brown Look- [6] Page 6 of 24

1-1x3 @ 41-1/2" - face fame bottom 2-1x3 @ about 21-1/4" - cut to fit - footer sides 1-1x3 @ about 48" - cut to fit - footer front 4-1x6 @ 47-7/8" - top (cut 1x6 boards in half) Door should be cut to fit, approximately 2-1x3 @ 28" and 2-1x3 @ 17" and Back Plywood 24" x 19" Cutting Instructions: All the plywood can fit on one sheet. First rip the plywood into two strips, 96" long by 20-1/2" wide. From the 20-1/2" strips, cross cut as shown below. Page 13 of 24
A table saw is preferred but a circular saw will work, especially with a Page 14 of 24
track system (Kreg sells a nice easy to use one) or if you clamp a board and use it as a guide. Another alternative is to have your home improvement store make the plywood cuts, or at the very least, the initial rips - this will make transporting and working with the plywood much easier. Page 15 of 24
[35] Build the carcass using a Kreg Jig set for 3/4" thick material. Drill three pocket holes at each joint and attach with 1-1/4" pocket hole screws. Leave 3-3/4" space underneath the bottom shelf (or simply use the divider as a spacer when placing the bottom shelf). You can wait to add the shelf (after next step) so the microwave is perfectly placed in the face frame, or add now too. Page 16 of 24
[36] Drill two 3/4" pocket holes on each end of the 1x2 back supports. Attach at back top with 1-1/4" pocket hole screws. Page 17 of 24
[37] Build the face frame with pocket holes first on your tabletop. Then attach to front of cabinet with 1-1/4" brad nails and wood glue. Alternatively, you can attach face fram with pocket holes on inside of cabinet as we did in the video. Page 18 of 24
[38] Measure and cut the footer sides. Nail and glue on with 1-1/4" brad nails. Measure and cut the front. Nail and glue the front piece on. Page 19 of 24
[39] Cut the 1x6 boards in half. Start at the back with even overhang on the ends, and attach with 1-1/4" brad nails to the top plywood edges with glue. Alternatively you can build the top first with pocket holes and then nail on. Page 20 of 24
[40] The door should be built to fit the barn door hardware.
