Julie,

If it were me, I would lightly sand anyplace that is flat and easy to sand. Then I would use a deglosser such as TSP to really clean and wipe down the entire piece. When all is dry, I would use a good FLAT paint such as chalk paint or a DIY version (I make one with Plaster of Paris) You can see how I handle those type of finishes here: https://www.myrepurposedlife.com/tag/chalky-paint/

Thanks so much for stopping by.
