I've had good luck coating the veneer and base wood with wood glue, letting it dray and ironing it on. I use Titebond glue. Note that there are three types and all have different working time frames when using this technique.

The wood in your control area should definitely be lighter. Here's a photo of my unrestored cabinet.
