Keep cabinets simple and straightforward. 
Shaker-style cabinets by IKEA have a modern-vintage look that works in a classic farmhouse setting.

Give the backsplash an update. 
Stack subway-style tile up to the undersides of the cabinets, and use dark grout for a modern look that's easy to clean.

Editor's Tip:
Wrap the vent hood with custom millwork for a more seamless look.
