Campaigning: 10 Online Furniture Finds

June 15, 2018

This post was inspired by the pretty little campaign chests that I was *this close* to pulling the trigger on for our bedroom. And when I went back to look at them online, they were gone, completely wiped away from the internet. (They were the blue linen ones from Pier One you may have seen. I contacted their customer service and no luck. They’re not coming back. . . ) So, I’m back to looking and thinking for now. I’ve been a fan of campaign furniture since it became “trendy”. (I’ll bet the armies it was originally designed for never used that word for it.) Its straight lines and traditional style make it so easy to blend with whatever other pieces and styles you may already have.

Since it’s gained popularity, the vintage stuff has gotten really pricey and usually needs a touch up–or two. (I do love the look of painted campaign furniture!) Although not vintage, here are a few more reasonable finds I came across in my online searching:

    Hi Emily
    I don’t think I’ve ever commented before, but I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your site and all your wonderful ideas! I had to comment this time because I am a big fan of campaign furniture also. We bought Dixie campaign furniture for our bedroom in the early 70s and it’s one of the few things I’ve never gotten rid of. Even though it was out of style for a while, I just loved it and couldn’t let it go. I think it’s funny now, that if you hold onto things long enough they will come back in style!

    Good luck on finding some! 😀

    I think the military might have used that name since their battles or operations were also called “campaigns”. I’ve always loved the style and I’m sorry I let my ex have a chest we bought in 1973! I do have a long Drexel chest I found five years ago at Salvation Army that is still waiting to be redone. Hopefully I’ll get to that this summer!

    Love your blog!

    It’s funny that you posted this now. I just sent a 6 drawer campaign chest to my grandson’s college apartment. It was purchased for his godfather in 1972. It was kids furniture and therefore not very well made, but it survived childhood, went to college, then to first apartment and now back to college! My daughter thinks this may be the end of the chest’s journey but it was certainly worth the money we paid over 45 years ago!

    I really scored when I found a campaign desk in a thrift store a few months ago for $72. Sometimes people don’t realize what they’re getting rid of….

    Love everything you post!

    Our ReStore recently had a beautiful Lane campaign dresser and high boy. I so wished I had a place for them and was really surprised at how long they took to sell. I guess our local ReStore shoppers aren’t reading Hamptons Cottages & Gardens. I think it’s such a classic style.

      Good find! Maybe it was the price? I’ve noticed our ReStore overprices sometimes (in my opinion…).

    I found a Henredon campaign night stand at a thrift store for $25.00 about 5 years ago. Finally took the time to paint it (it was missing some veneer), and now it will go to my son who is getting married in a few months. Hope his soon-to-be wife will appreciate it :)
