Editor’s Note
Have you been to the Biergarten at Olbrich Park? It’s open through Sunday, Oct. 20 with views of Lake Monona, beer, and yummy bites like soft pretzels. We think it’s one of the most scenic spots to take in fall views.

Fall is here. Read: It’s officially hosting season. Whether you’re throwing football watch parties, a spooky Halloween soirée, or a festive Thanksgiving feast, now’s the time to refresh your home with the steals of the season.

Way Day — aka Wayfair’s huge sale — returns today, Oct. 5 through Monday, Oct. 7 with 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

  • Autumn treats cake pan: Leaves, pumpkins, and acorns adorn this charming nonstick pan.
  • Modern bar cart: Perfect for displaying your favorite Plain Spoke cocktails, this bar on wheels can be easily moved.
  • Bar tools set: While we’re talking special drinks, you’ll probably need this, too.
  • 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 Badgers 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 Salvatore’s Tomato Pies.
