If it's in good physical shape, paint would go a long way! I love the look of a stained wood top and painted body.
I agree, I would use a fresh coat on brightly colored paint (white, cream, etc.).
If it is only the finish, not the style, you can update with paint or a deep stain color like java or ebony and add marble or tile to the flat surface. That will also enable you to put hot items directly onto the sideboard when serving.
Hello Heather! I am not sure what style your pine sideboard is but here is LOTS of ideas on Pinterest for painting. Chalk paint is perfect for a project like this. You will probably only need a quart. Have fun!

Paint and glaze would look amazing. I am not a fan of chalk paint. I would rather put a little extra into prep. Lightly sand, prime and paint whatever color you like. Then distress or glaze.
Hi Heather, here's one idea for you, hope it helps, also remember you can do chalk paint as well! I love chalk paint because it is so forgiving on rough or imperfect surfaces!

I agree, glaze it. The value in this piece is that it survived all these decades and
this “old lady” has “grown old gracefully” and she is should flaunt her “laugh lines”.
As in enjoy the age of the piece and yes, put a ceramic or stone tile top on it.
