You could paint it with chalk paint, which will cover the varnish without a need to sand. You could do a white wash with chalk paint, which will make the paint go longer and give you more of a vintage look with some of the wood showing through. You white wash by adding some water to the paint to water it down and then paint.
remove the varnish and white wash or paint it
