Ghost Chairs and Halloween

There is no better chair to represent Halloween than the modern Ghost Chair. The only thing that can make them better is to pair them with a clear acrylic side table. 

The Ghost Chairs below can be picked up new for $81 or as an open box item for $49.  Made of transparent acrylics, the chair is sturdy and durable even as it displays a delicate, ethereal appearance. This pair is likely to sneak up on you if you are not paying attention. This just as spooky end table can be yours for $54.

If you are looking for a slightly larger chair with a dining room feel, pick up the Armed Ghost Chair. Take home this chair new for $85 or as an open box item for $62. Sitting next to this seemingly floating end table, this set has a Halloween feel. We currently have one of these tables on the outlet floor for $119. 

These clear Ghost Chairs do not stick around our outlet for very long. Just as fast as they show up they are gone. So don't take your time getting over here, you might just miss out.

Friday's Etsy Fall Home Decor Picks

So I decided to mix things up this Friday, instead of posting about our favorite furniture picks from Interior Express Outlet, I'm going to do my favorite Etsy Fall inspired home decor items!

Hands down my favorite time of year, beside that my birthday falls in this season, it is filled with wonderful colors, beautiful weather and a lot of good food. 

First thing I came across in the fall decor section and I think it is an amazing idea. Paper Mache Pumpkins!

Not made with any old newspaper, these gems are made from a 1940's gardening book. Perfect for a center piece or mantel decoration. Pick them up a set of 2 for $12. 

A lot of what makes fall so beautiful is the vibrant shades of oranges and golds. This Harvest Gold Throw Blanket caught my eye because it is defiantly inspired by this time of year. 

Hand made and beautifully done, each ones of these comfy pieces of art is unique. Wrap up in one of these for $195.

I love the vintage feel of these Fabric Coasters. Made with a waterproof no slip base these special pieces are cute and practical. 

Pick up more than one set, this store offers them in a variety of colors. For the price of $12, how could you pass them up. 


I do not know what I would do with them but I need them. There is something about these Rusty Wool Acorns that are just so irresistible. 

Now that I thought about it, they would as a great sense of playfulness to any centerpiece at a holiday party. Ok I'll take a set! Wait... they are only $20 for 10!  I'll take 2 sets.

Monday's Inspiration: Retro Modern Bold Prints

It seems that I can never pass up a bold print, whether it is on a great piece of clothing or an eye catching piece of furniture. I have to say etsy is a great place to pick up yards and yards of fabric. I searched "mid century modern fabric" and a little piece of heaven popped up. 

I narrowed my fabric search to "atomic fabric", and ow did it get even better. There is something about the atomic print that is sooo pleasing, its a great combination of retro funky playfulness. I know that is quite a description but how else would you describe something like this?   

Lets take it one step more detailed. Next I searched "retro barkcloth fabric", these so far are my favorites. 

This post gave me a great idea for a later topic, I think I am going to compile a list of my favorite etsy searches and some screen shots of all the wonderfulness that comes up!

Friday's Staff Pick: Two Piece Coffee Table

This is a great living room table we carry – it’s brand new as of September 2011.  This a coffee table of substantial size but I find its simplicity, versatility, and architectural design elements to be irresistible.  -Danielle

The Divyde 2 Piece Wooden Coffee Table is extremely stylish and versatile with its two piece design and contrasting wood grain and black lacquer. The table takes modern architectural inspiration, a combination of several materials, and becomes your favorite piece of furniture. Priced at $297, this coffee table is an easy choice. 

This living room table is actually two separate tables that can be arranged together or separately. Both pieces are made with a black-coated steel base topped with both engineered and solid woods, but the larger piece is slightly shorter and is finished with a black high gloss top whereas the smaller table is taller and features a walnut stain tabletop.

Each table is completely freestanding and we recommend experimenting with the endless arrangements that are possible with this table! Rounding out a bevy of features is a drawer hidden on the side of the smaller table.

Hidden Gem: Aluminum Cafe Barstool

Not listed on interiorexpressoutlet.com, these Aluminum Cafe Barstools have a timeless 1950s styling and are made of outdoor-friendly aluminum. We are certain you will also love the contoured seat and red gloss finish of this versatile piece, equally suited for use in a home or restaurant. The Cafe Stool is finished with plastic disc feet, and is fully assembled. Priced to sell at $76. Currently we have 3 on the outlet floor.
