I just picked up a used white chest freezer (8.8cf Kennmore) for $100 off CR. However, it's white and has a few scrapes and small dents here and there. SWMBO also commented that no matter what I did to it, it would still look like a freezer so I'm trying to get ideas that are not overly complicated, but still makes the keezer look like a piece of respectable furniture.
I really don't want to paint the freezer black since some of the marks would still show. Is it possible to put laminate on the sides without affecting the freezer performance? I do not want to build a cabinet either since my wood working skills are sub-par.
I was thinking of some sort of black laminate for the sides with black wood trim including the collar with taps. The top could be some sort of bronze tile. Or, maybe lacquered wood. Is there a preference to do tile or laminate for the top? Also, would it be a real pita to store liquor bottles and glasses on top? I haven't seen many people doing this. Another idea was to add a railing for the top 3 sides with matching wood.
So many ideas! Also, I love the "Show us your kegerator" thread. Good stuff.
Cheers.
