I’m kicking off Top Three Thursdays on Etsy with a unique side table from Fine Art is Made. The criss-cross construction creates a funky cut-out silhouette that makes this side table anything but an aside in a room, don’t you think. It’s handpainted. Size is 28″W x 28″D x28″H, with some assembly required. Price is $400.

Want to get organized? This cool office box cupboard that once graced a post office could make your office a standout AND keep you organized at the same time. Love the patina on this. It features original hardware drawer pulls — bonus! — and is 25″ W X 10″ D X 19″ T. Price is $350 and you can  find it at UnExpected Partie.

And, yes, as I search the world for just the right chaise lounge, I came across this one. It’s not for my house, but it might be right for you! I can imagine lying indolently on it, book in hand, lovely cool drink on the table beside me. Sigh. This vintage lovely has its original pink embroidered silk upholstery and curvy French legs. Size is 67″ long and 30″ wide. Price is $995 at Fabulous Mess, which this clearly is not!

Clayton Gray Home sent me an email letting me know what’s new on their site. This cool chandelier caught my eye. I think under the right setting it would be a little like having your own fireworks display, don’t you think? This Jacques chandelier is made from chrome and is $990.

Is it too early for pumpkins? Probably, but I love them and it’s my blog so I’m kicking off Top Three Thursdays on Etsy with these little papier mache numbers from Middleburg Folk Art Studio. You can get them with or without the saying on them (“Grown with passion, harvested with love). Without would be my choice but whatever. At 3.5″ each, these would make sweet tablescape focal points or accents in your home as fall arrives. Each is $15.

You know how once you start looking for something, it keeps cropping up when you least expect it? Well, here’s another pumpkin. I SWEAR I wasn’t looking for another one, but I couldn’t resist. This one is from Fishstikks‘ shop and is made from paperclay. I’m not sure exactly what that is, but he’s just a little under 2″ and about 1″ wide. Might be a nice addition to that tablescape above. $12.50.

And finally this set of 4 lovely bud vases from Michiko Shimada’s shop. The vases are inspired by the curves of the body as well as forms inside the body. EAch is about 4.5″ tall and about 3.5″ wide. They are made of porcelain with a clear glossy glaze finish. Perfect for fall or dried flowers, don’t you think? Price is $100 for the set.

If you’re into modern furniture, move your mouse over to Euro Furniture ASAP. The site ‚ they also have a showroom in Chicago if you’re from around there — has everything from tables and chairs to stools and outdoor goodies. This table is inspired by Isamu Noguchi’s cocktail table that was originally created for A. Goncer Goodyear, president of the Modern Art Museum of New York. The base is solid walnut of black lacquered ash.  The glass top is 3/4″.  Made in Italy. $699.99

These whimsical hooked wool covers for pillows are inspired by Garnet Hill’s hooked rug collection. The autumnal colors make these perfect for sprucing up your sofa for the coming cooler weather. Each is hand-hooked and is 18″ X 18″. Pillow is sold separately. Buy one for $48  or buy two for $70.
