And although Sweeney declared that finding these nightstands meant he was "blessed by the Goodwill Gods," they were a bit dated. So, Sweeney decided to flip them with some new wood stain, paint, hardware and box molding — and they turned out beautiful. Read on for a look into the transformation!

To get started, he removed the drawers from the night tables, and removed the drawer pulls, too. Then, he applied a chemical stripper to the nightstands and used a putty knife to scrape off the old top coat and stain. Next, he wiped everything down with acetone, and then used his electric sander.
Then, it was time to really take these pieces to the next level. Using leftover trim from a previous project, Sweeney created and applied custom box molding on the drawer fronts. Once these were securely attached, Sweeney sanded down the drawer fronts and legs of the piece.

$40 at Goodwill. $300 on Facebook Marketplace. ?? Checkout the full transformation video on YouTube, linked in my bio ? I almost walked past these Ethan Allen side tables — a matching pair for $40 total in incredible condition. They just needed someone to see past the dated finish and give them a second life. So I did. ? Here is how I got there ? ? Chemical stripped the tops down to bare wood and stained them with @Varathane Spray Stain in Dark Walnut — the spray version is a game changer for beginners, super even finish every time ? Added custom box molding to the drawer fronts with leftover trim — this one step alone completely transforms a piece ? Painted the body in an all in one paint in the color Haven by @ALL-IN-ONE Paint — the most beautiful dusty blue grey you have ever seen and it pairs perfectly with that warm walnut ✨ Finished with antique brass hardware and wipe on polyurethane on the wood tops to seal everything in $260 profit on a single thrift store find. This is exactly why I never walk past a good piece. ? What would YOU pay for this set? Drop your number below ?

"The goal was to honor the quality of the piece while completely modernizing the look," Sweeney wrote on YouTube. "Raw wood tops, custom box molding on the drawer fronts, a beautiful dusty blue body, and antique brass hardware to tie it all together. The result is something that looks like it belongs in a high end boutique — not a thrift store."
