Just bought bathroom vanities and they did not give me what was asked. Going to refinish them myself but was hoping someone could give me a step by step with what I need to do to refinish the tops as well as the actual vanities. Also provide with colors/tools needed. Much appreciated!! Attached are the photo in which was discussed and then what I got.

Ok. First you need to remove finish, whatever it is. Then after sanding back to a acceptable surface, you can re-stain. Or use a new finish such as a tinted water base finish. What is your experience level? What tools do you have available? This is not as easy as it sounds. Good luck.

Ok so no one is actually going to help me re-stain. Got it. So helpful. I'm keeping them. They refunded me some money. I like the style just not the color

its really hard to help you make them look like they have been out in the elements for 50 years and partially sanded. i mean, there are ways to fake it with steel wool and vinegar on some woods, but not so much on pine. you could try some of the aging compounds but getting it to look natural and partially removed doesn't usually end up good.

look in the original picture,see the grey in just parts of the panels?

here you can see what some of the aging finishes will look like on pine vs oak etc. maybe you would like this, not sure
