HELP staining poular cabinets

HELP, I have a new home build. It is a log home, no drywall all log interior. I had an Amish man custom make my kitchen cabinets out of poplar, because I was intending on painting them. My husband wants them stained to match the interior, which is red pine stained Summer Oak. I have read horror stories about staining poplar. My question is, is it possible to stain them and have them look decent? I am a DIYer all the way, I am familiar will gel stain also. Not sure if some pretreatment should be applied to the cabinets. Do i use the same Summer Oak used on the walls? Maybe I could get a paint color similar to the interior log color and then glaze that to mimic the look of wood. Any help would be great. I fell like crying now. (Here is a photo of the interior wall color)
