Today, Oct. 7 is the last day to shop Way Day — aka Wayfair’s huge sale — and you won’t want to miss the thousands of limited-time deals on all things home goods. We’re talking up to 80% off, free shipping, and flash deals.

So without further ado, let’s get party planning. Here’s what we’re eyeing:

Kitchen essentials

  • Modern bar cart: Perfect for displaying your favorite bottle of Carolina Cream, this bar on wheels can be easily moved.

  • Le Creuset baking dishes: Cook your favorite family recipe in style with this must-have trifecta.
  • Chips and dips platter: Assemble your go-to game day snacks to cheer on the Paladins in this sleek porcelain dish.

Dinner with a view

  • Vintage-inspired globe chandelier: They say a new light fixture can transform a room, and this three-light pendant looks like it will do the trick (or treat).
  • Upholstered dining chairs: Modern style meets supreme comfort with this set of ergonomically designed seats.
  • Stoneware pumpkin trio: Adorn your mantle with these harvest-hued decorations to add a bountiful burst of fall color to any room.
  • Extendable dining table: Need more space? This solid wood table comes with a leaf to help accommodate extra guests and plenty of home-cooked dishes — or takeout from Fork and Plough.

From the editor
I’m not really a crier. I mean, did I cry while watching “Casper” on my phone in the dark last week? Yes, but who wouldn’t? But seeing how amazing Greenville has been to one another and to our friends in North Carolina has made me shed a tear or two. I love this city.
