Hi Lynn, clean degloss and paint it! Using liquid sandpaper/deglosser or sandpaper helps dull any old paint, gloss or varnish, preps the area for a new coat of paint or varnish and helps bond the new finish to prevent it from chipping off easily. Use a spray paint to paint it the color of your choice!

To freshen up my moms set we painted it. I’ve also seen people stencil a design on it. The best piece of advice is to make sure that you either blow the piece of all the dust out or take a soft brush and clean all the dust out of the pieces so that if you do paint it, it will adhere well

How to Paint a Wicker Chair With Chalk Paint
You could paint your furniture a different color. If it is plain white why not try a funky color!
Clean well, and get whatever color Rustoleum Spray paint you like to match your decor.
Old saying that a coat of paint hides a multitude of sins. Just touch up the paint of better yet give it an entirely new color.
Spray pint it!
I would use spray paint in a bold color. Then I would get new knobs, perhaps crystal. You could also get a glass top and decopauge it. That would change the whole look.
