Advice for an old nightstand makeover?

I have a old, large, solid wood nightstand that I want to makeover in a farmhouse style. It's stained and has a shiny tip coat. I like the look of chalk paint but I do not want something that will have to be waxed regularly. How should I prep this and what type of paint should I use?

Why go the expense of an ancient farmhouse style when you can instead go modern by a glass top, or even top it with leather instead?
I have a very old table that was my great grandmothers. It wasn’t the look I wanted so I used one of my mothers or grandmothers table scarves that was crocheted by one of them and put it on my table. Then I purchased a sheet if glass to go on top. It serves two purposes 1- hides the table 2 protects the antique table scarf and also keeps it from getting water stains from drinks or spills!
