I bought an awesome used China Hutch at a swap meet last Friday (Canton First Mondays for you Texans) but the problem is, the hutch is stained a VERY Cherry red and my dining room furniture is a dark brown Oak color, including the paneling along the bottom half of my dining room. It also has a few bumps, bruises and scratches so it really doesn't look its best right now, so no matter what I want to do something to fix it I'm somewhat handy, but I've never "stripped" stained wood before. A friend said I'd probably need to sand it all the way out and then re-stain. How feasible/hard is this? How likely is it that I'd ruin the entire thing by sanding too much? Another possibility is to paint the hutch. I normally think painting over solid wood is practically a crime, but I really don't want to leave it Cherry. There seems to be a thin layer of not very shiny varnish on top. Would I need to sand it still, or just do a coat of primer? Bonus crappy cell phone pic of the hutch in my dining room, the washed out colors in the pic don't do justice to the amount of clashing it does:
