9. How small is the cabinet...

that a Euro style hinge would be too big?

This one seems to be perfect for the job:

Whilst 5/8" is a slight bit bigger than 1/2" (and the actual 1/2" thickness is even smaller than that) it might not make a difference. Myself, I would drill through the doors and sides and use small decorative bolts to hold the thing on.

Depending on the size of the thing, there might be several other interesting options. I doubt you can buy a bent hinge that will attach to the front of the door and bend around the side that will fit. If you can, fine, but if the hinges are light enough, you might be able to bend a small brass straight hinge to fit.
