oak cabinets

I have some oak kitchen cabinets that i would like to make a bit more
modern. I know they probably should not be painted but im wondering if
anyone has ideas or experiences with "sprucing" these up. Short of burning
or replacing them is there anything i can do with them? Thanks in advance

Refinishing helps.

New decorative handles help, too.

I'm veneering mine with alder, and adding new doors and drawer fronts. Tom
