Maria Elena, before you do anything, you should cut or download (or photograph) finished projects you like and use them as inspiration for your cabinet.

Then buy or gather the materials you need to make it happen. No matter what finish you use (paint, stain, decoupage) you will need a smooth, clean base, so start by sanding and cleaning the cabinet and go from there.

Since this is probably a piece that was passed down to you you may want your design to reflect that person....have fun with it!

If it's a singer with the rod iron details stain it. Check out Dixie Belle Paint they have some neat stain color options. I would leave the legs as is, gives character and a reminder of history. always sand first and then stain.

Most of these tables with the metal legs are veneer instead of solid wood so you may have trouble refinishing it. It might be best to use either a dark Old English oil to refresh it or paint it with chalk paint and then wax it. The light grey with the dark wax is beautiful.

I spray painted the metal in black flat, took off the sewing machine and put on a teak top that I bought from the guy who used to repair the Danish furniture (long gone) and set it in a bed room with danish modern furniture and use it as a TV table.

I would spray paint the metal legs with Rustoleum spray paint. I've used it on lots of metal items, both indoor and out. They always turn out great! I would sand the sewing table and then paint it with color if you want or add new stain if that's the look you want.
