The only real solution to those kind of cabinets is to apply Contac paper expertly in
black, red, grey or white. That means rolling out the bubbles or piercing them with a pin.

This is a 50s western oak piece (think Roy Rodgers) that now has an incongruous paint job that highlights details that aren't meant to be highlighted. Even solid black would have been more respectful. Stripping and whitewashing it is another option. Just restoring the finish would have been enough.
