**Start with a Good Clean**: Before you dive into refinishing, give your furniture a thorough clean. Use a mixture of soap and water to remove any dirt and grease. This will help the new finish adhere better.

**Strip It Down**: If the old finish is really worn out, consider using a paint stripper. Just make sure to do this in a well-ventilated area and wear gloves. Once the old finish is off, sand the surface to smooth it out.

**Choose the Right Finish**: Depending on the look you want, you can go for paint, stain, or a clear sealant. Test a small area first to see how it looks before committing to the whole piece!
