In one clip, the brunette beauty revealed she was scouring through Facebook Marketplace when she came across a mid-century piece.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was scrolling through Facebook Marketplace when I recognised this little nightstand for $10 (\u00a38),\u201d she shared.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd sure enough, it\u2019s a solid Maple Heywood Wakefield nightstand.\u201d<\/p>\n

This nightstand goes for \u00a31,111 online, making it an incredible find for Anne.<\/p>\n

Showing off the nightstand to viewers, people could see it needed a lot of love and care to restore it back to its former glory.<\/p>\n

Even Anne said it was \u201cso dirty\u201d, which prompted her to use a power scrubber by Scrub Daddy to remove the grime.<\/p>\n

After going over the entire thing, she then sanded it down \u201cwith a 100 grit sandpaper and slowly worked my way up to 180 grit\u201d.<\/p>\n

Anne then applied an oil-based preconditioner, which she let sit for several hours before applying \u201cone coat of a pecan-coloured gel stain\u201d.<\/p>\n

She continued: \u201cI\u2019m really not sure why I decided to go with a darker stain for this piece of maple, but it\u2019s kind of giving cabin vibes.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce the stain dried, I applied four coats of a semi-gloss lacquer to seal it all up.\u201d<\/p>\n

She then showed the before and after pictures before asking: \u201cDo you like the dark stain or should I have gone a little bit lighter?\u201d<\/p>\n

In the caption, YouTuber @thefurnituredoctor added: \u201cMy CRAZY Facebook Marketplace Thrift Find! A solid maple MCM furniture flip\u201d.<\/p>\n

People had mixed reactions about the stain, however, as one person wrote: \u201cHey wood Wakefield was known for its stain colors\u2026.champagne, etc. I would at least have tried to mimic one of their stains.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another said: \u201cLighter would have definitely been more beautiful, but great work!\u201d<\/p>\n

A third shared: \u201cAugh!!!! No dark stain!!!!! Let the maple shine through!\u201d<\/p>\n

While a fourth added: \u201cI may have tried something lighter first personally, but girl that piece looks absolutely amazing! So cozy and very clean.\u201d<\/p>\n

But others loved what she\u2019d done as one said: \u201cIt\u2019s gorgeous! The dark stain was definitely the way to go!\u201d<\/p>\n
