Campaign Tables

I frequently get asked about the two gold accent tables in our living room. Similar styles are often referred to as campaign tables, since they were originally designed for use in officers' quarters on military campaigns. The collapsible accordion base design allowed them to be quickly broken down and moved from battlefield to battlefield. Anyhow, all of mine came from Pier 1 and were a steal...under $50 a piece!

I have another one in the guest room functioning as a nightstand.

And it was a bar in a former life ;)

I hardly ever see affordable substitutes so I was thrilled to see Urban Outfitters' Metal Accordion Side Table - a style similar to my little round one. It's only $60 and they have it in an antique brass finish and also in two fun colors. The Metal Accordian coffee table is a look-alike as well - it's $128. And, I couldn't resist throwing the other SUPER cute but totally unrelated table options!

To jazz these up, you could have a piece of mirror (either regular or an antiqued finish) cut and put it in the inset. If you want a swankier look, you could do the same with a piece of marble or granite like these here.

Ok, enough table talk. Have a wonderful weekend and HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
