How do you paint over a woodstain?
I'm wanting to update this bar. Thinking a coat of paint but the timber has been stained. Do I have to sand all the stain off? Open to any suggestions as to how to update it. Thank you

lightly sand,primer,paint.unless it's been varnished laquered,or polyurethaned(shiny finish) then you'l need to sand heavily or strip first.
Take one of the cabinet doors to the paint department of the home improvement store and ask them to select paint/stains and other finishes and application tools that will work for your kitchen. They have the best selection, the most up-to-date materials and most important, the most informative sales staff to get you what you need for a professional job.
No stripping at all. Just lightly sand to remove any gloss. Prime with a good stain blocking primer. Then paint your color. Seal with at least three coats of a water based polyurethane.
Wash down with TSP, sand off sheen, prime with oil based primer, lightly sand, paint 2coats of oil based paint .
Of course remove all hardware, drawers and doors, mark on back where they go.
Add new hardware and enjoy your new cabintets.
Chalk paint then Polycrylic. Occasionally stain might bleed through a little especially if you paint with a light color.
Lisa Sinclair. Painting paneling is like painting walls. Painting furniture a clear coat is needed to protect the finish from daily use. Water based polyurethane does not yellow. Oil based does. Washing down should be done to clean any dirt and grease that even primer won't grip.
