Repainting or staining can bring new life to an old wood dining table. To start, sand the surface to remove the old finish and ensure the new stain or paint adheres well. Choose a stain if you want to maintain the natural wood grain, or go with paint for a complete transformation. Use a sealant to protect the finish from wear and tear. Light stains work well for a modern look, while darker colors bring warmth. DIYing a makeover can be rewarding, and it’s eco-friendly to refresh rather than replace your dining table.
