1 Table 3 Ways

When we started Camino+Collective HOME, we were trying to envision our customers. They are cool and hip. Young and modern. They are interested in the earth and don’t want their homes to look like their parents’. They want clean, uncluttered and interesting. They are careful, thoughtful consumers appreciating quality over quantity. And they are a little classic, a little boho, a little chic, a little global.

We want our items to be a valuable addition to your home. They are not cheaply made knock-offs. They are the real thing and because of that they have value and longevity.

For instance, our fold-down table. This maple beauty has been loved in someone’s home for a long time. It is circa 1820-1830s and is in the class of Late Federal/Early Empire. We found this beauty at a salvage store – can you believe that?! It’s part of American history and someone threw it out. It is in fantastic, perfectly worn condition. Could’ve had it’s previous incarnation in a farmhouse or an adorable bungalow. Imagine the history sitting at this table.

Anyhow, apart from the history, it’s the functionality of the piece that makes it a true treasure. With both sides folded, this gorgeous table could make a great entry, console or sofa table. We styled it in this photo as console.

Lift one side of the table and it can be a home office space.

Lift both sides and you can have a meal and/or entertain some friends.

Perfect, right?! We also paired it with a mix of worldly and modern pieces so you can see, again the versatility isn’t just in the function, but in the style.

So when you are out looking for a table, or other home furnishings, look for pieces that are sturdy and well-made, have pretty, classic lines and offer you some versatility. That way, as your home and life evolve so will your furnishings.

Love your journey,
