Well, that's quite a difference. The rest of the cabinet is so nice, it makes me think the bottom was water damaged. The contact paper is good enough to pass a casual inspection, anyhow.

If you do decide to go further, remember that lacquer (not varnish) is your friend. It's more easily reversible if you want to redo your first attempt or you later decide to give the cabinet the Full Monte. The worst choice of all would be polyurethane; you won't get that off with anything short of a belt sander.
