Being the house is contemporary I would stain it not paint it
Pinterest is chock full of painted dining room furniture! You could also try selling the set (together or individually) and use the proceeds to purchase something that is more in tune with your tastes/style.
Sell the set in its natural state and use the funds for something more to your taste. PAINT will not alter a traditional piece enough to make it look contemporary and in the meantime you will have destroyed a beautiful solid wood set. I tend to paint only if the piece has major condition issues or otherwise would be going to a landfill.
Yes! Sell it! If it is a good set, why ruin it with paint? Mahogany is a hardwood that is not seen much anymore except in very expensive furniture. Even if you do paint it, the furniture lines would not be contemporary.
Try changing out the hardware and pulls to something more contemporary before you paint.
Mahogany and paint? Please don't. Sell the set and get what you want from the funds, or change hardware as others have suggested.
