                                                                December 4, 2000

Dear Fellow Stockholders:

    It's Time to Turn Interiors, Inc. Around Now . . . Before It's Too Late!
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

         As we stated in our previous letter to you, The Broderick  Committee is
a group of  concerned  stockholders  formed  for the  purpose of  expressing  to
Interiors,  Inc.  ("Interiors")  and its  stockholders  our grave  concern about
Interiors'  deteriorating  financial  performance  and its  alarmingly low stock
price.  As we explain  in the Proxy  Statement  enclosed  with this  letter,  we
believe that this disturbing  trend will continue if Max Munn,  Roger Lourie and
Richard  Josephberg  remain on the Board of  Directors.  We need your support to
elect our  nominees  to the Board so they can take  necessary  steps to halt the
decline of Interiors  before it is too late. We are happy to report that we have
significant  support from Interiors'  stockholders and we are looking forward to
the December 15th annual stockholder meeting. BUT WE STILL NEED YOUR HELP!

            HOWEVER, TIME IS SHORT. PLEASE SIGN, DATE AND RETURN THE
            --------------------------------------------------------
                        ENCLOSED GOLD PROXY CARD TODAY.
                        -------------------------------

         We are  stockholders,  just like you. We own  2,803,940  shares and our
interests are aligned with yours - to see the price of  Interiors'  stock go up.
By  returning  the GOLD proxy  card,  you will be helping to prevent any further
decline at  Interiors.  PLEASE DO NOT SEND BACK ANY PROXY CARD YOU RECEIVE  FROM
INTERIORS'  MANAGEMENT,  EVEN TO VOTE AGAINST THEM. However, if you have already
done so, don't  worry:  you can change your vote by quickly  returning  the GOLD
proxy card in the  enclosed  postage paid  envelope.  Only your latest dated and
properly executed vote will count.

                      LOOK AT INTERIORS' PERFORMANCE UNDER
                           MUNN, LOURIE AND JOSEPHBERG

         PLUMMETING  STOCK  PRICE:  Like us, you have  watched the value of your
investment  in Interiors  dwindle down to its current rock bottom level of $0.15
per share.  Just look at what our shares have done while Max Munn,  Roger Lourie
and Richard Josephberg have been on the Board of Directors:


   [CHART OF DAILY CLOSING PRICES OF CLASS A COMMON STOCK OF INTERIORS, INC.
                  FROM NOVEMBER 28, 1995 TO NOVEMBER 28, 2000]



<PAGE>



         From $4.63 per share on June 19, 1996 to $0.15 per share on December 1,
2000 - that is a loss of  almost  98% of the value of our  shares.  If your bank
lost 98% of your checking or savings account,  would you just sit back and watch
it happen?  Or would you TAKE A STAND!  In October 2000,  this poor  performance
resulted  in the NASDAQ  Small Cap Market  delisting  Interiors'  Class A Common
Stock which adversely affects the market value and liquidity of the stock.

         CHAIRMAN'S  COMPENSATION:   Despite  watching  Interiors  suffer  $26.6
million in losses during the past two fiscal years,  Interiors' filings with the
SEC disclose  that the Board has rewarded Max Munn,  the Chairman of  Interiors'
Board of Directors,  with a significant  salary and bonus. Did you know that Mr.
Munn earned  $375,000 last year and received a $113,250  bonus? He also received
$741,000  in advances  over the past two years.  We believe he has not paid back
his most recent advance, and the Board of Directors forgave all the interest Max
Munn owed Interiors on the 1999 advance.

         TRANSACTIONS  WITH FAMILY  MEMBERS:  As  disclosed  in  Interiors'  SEC
filings,  Interiors'  Directors have permitted  numerous  transactions  with Max
Munn's  family  members  at a time when  Interiors  was  experiencing  financial
difficulty. As of June 30, 1999, Max Munn's wife owed Interiors $2,550,000,  and
the company has accrued no interest on the obligation. Interiors paid Max Munn's
father  $287,000  over the past  two  years  for  "consulting  services"  and an
"arbitration  settlement." Max Munn's sister received $500,000 from Interiors in
settlement  of an  employment  agreement.  Max Munn's  wife was issued  over 2.4
million shares of Class B Common Stock with five for one voting rights.

         To address these problems, we are nominating Kinsey C. Craichy, Charles
M. Egan and Carl F.  McWilliams  for  election  to replace  the three  long-term
Directors (Max Munn,  Roger Lourie and Richard  Josephberg) at the December 15th
Annual Meeting of Stockholders.  In our opinion,  these  individuals have proven
track records of successfully  leading businesses and are committed to enhancing
shareholder value and the  profitability of Interiors.  Although there can be no
assurances  of  success,  we  believe  our slate of  nominees  will work hard to
reverse the financial decline at Interiors.

         Thank you for your  consideration,  and we strongly urge you to give us
your support in this critically  important time in Interiors' history.  It's not
too late to turn Interiors around and save our COMPANY.  however, time is short.
PLEASE COMPLETE AND RETURN YOUR GOLD PROXY CARD QUICKLY.

         It is  important  that you vote,  no matter  how many or few shares you
own. If you have any questions or need assistance in voting your shares,  please
call  Corporate  Investor  Communications,  Inc.,  who is  assisting  us, at our
special toll free number (866) 875-6642.

                                                   Sincerely,

                                                   The Broderick Committee

                                                   Charles R. Broderick, III
