I would not paint as it would probably lessen the value. I don't think painting them any color will maket them look modern. I think they are transitional and will remain transitional no matter the color.

I would change the backsplash & change the hardware. Maybe change the counter but I can't see what color/material it is. I agree, frost the glass on the cabinets.

To make the room feel less "woody", I would buy a modern rug possibly from FLOR...they have some good rug kits that are geometric and modern. I just did the tailor made kit in my kitchen and it really brightened it up.
