Kathy...You can strip the white paint off....sand then use the stain you would like....I like Citristrip!
In order to stain it, you'll need to strip the paint off with a chemical stripper or a heat gun. Afterwards, sand then stain and seal.
Use the Citristrip to strip the paint. It's a gel type stripper made for vertical surfaces and is safe. For the nooks and crannies use a small brass brush with the stripper. Won't harm the wood. Made specifically for getting into hard to reach areas.
