Used furniture to something new!

I went shopping and found some nice furniture pieces.

I found this dresser for $20

The blue color is a little too country for me.

I'm going to strip it down to the wood,

then decide if I am going to stain or repaint it.

I also found these 2 end tables.

I like mission style table in the front.

I would like to stain it a little darker to match

our other mission style furniture.

The back table is just interesting.

Do you refinish used furniture too?

Any tips or success stories?
