question on staining/painting furnature

I Agree with you Ron, i'd much rather see an older piece of furniture show its age and be kept up well but shes an artsy kinda girl which i can also respect and appreciate. She doesn't want to use a paint like you would for painting a picture or painting the walls, but she wants to use a colored stain that will show its markings through the stain.

Parts of it are pretty shinny then the top has a lot of wear and tear. I suppose our best bet would be to take it into home depot with us when we look for paint for our new place and ask them what they think. Thanks for all the help guys!
