How I found my Army tables?

When I decide move to The Netherland 2 years ago, I recognized that I can't take my old wooden huge dining/working table with me. This table was very very special for me - I wrote my very first interior story on it 8 years ago. I needed sawing off the pieces out of the legs on the staircase that I could fit it to one of my home's door in Helsinki - and it was perfect anyway.

Only way, how I could sold it, was that I had to find FIRST new table for me and from the Netherland. I had few Vtwonen magazines and books from my very first Amsterdam trip and I found this army table from Vtwonen book called Enjoy Your Home. It was in there - my future table! Perfect! But I saw it on white. I should only find it. And I found. From the Marktplaats. And I sold my wooden table.

Few months after I was arrived to Amsterdam, came the time go to pick up this army table to the home  from Sietsma Army Goods - the place outside in Amsterdam what I found from the Marktplaats only 60€/each. I bought couple tables and 6 steel boxes.

I still have 3 of those tables. One of them is today with short legs and stay at my living room and 2 another are at my home office. I love those tables so much today that it's miracle if I give them away in the future. Never. I could say today. Those tables are so useful, also when you will move, because them are folding tables.

This VTonen book Enjoy Your Home is all other way also really great. I love layout and interiors with full of ideas. Just like perfect interior/decoration book should be.

Army tables are also reason how we met with Vosges Paris Desiree. We were been in same VTwonen issue with our both own homes and she found me from the Facebook and saw that I selling one of those army tables. Now one of them is at Desiree's home :)
