I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting (#MC) for Pier 1 Imports. I received a product sample to facilitate my review and to thank me for participating.”
A few weeks ago I was asked to participate in an Outdoor Oasis Party with Pier 1. I knew I needed to update my patio so I said yes. I never knew how pretty it would actually get with a little hard work and some fun shopping. After I had the patio the way I wanted it I threw a party for all to see!
I had about ten guests come over for a light lunch and a mini manicure. It was a beautiful hot Florida day, perfect for the pool. but hung out in the house and on the patio. There was a slight breeze which made it a nice day. I kept the decorations simple but went with the lime green that is the focal color on my patio. Lemonade and Cranberry Ginger Ale made for refreshing beverages along with light snack and yummy cookies.
My patio’s history.
Originally my patio had an old glass table and chairs on it. But I’ve wanting a wicker set for 2 years. Recently I was able to get a free wicker rocker that a neighbor was getting rid of. Then at our local community yard sale I scored an old wicker set with cushions for $25!
But it needed some work…
So I spend a weekend scraping and painting the wicker and turned a beautiful white! I also found an old wooden table outside fir the trash, took that home, sanded it and repainted it to match the pillows on the wicker.
So what did I get at Pier 1 for my Patio Oasis? I wanted to keep the bottom cushions that came with my wicker set but needed to change up the throw pillows. I picked out some pretty floral designs and some solid yellow pillows. Then I needed another table. So I picked out a beautiful side table. hen I wanted some hanging lights to add some color and sparkle to my patio.
My guests loved my new patio and I several were off to shop at Pier 1 to spruce up there outdoor living space! A Mother’s Day gift to add to my collection from Pier 1!!
But wait! I am hoping to get our patio extended and screened in. This will make me so happy as I love to sit outside and read and feel the warmth and listen to the birds sing. With an extension I will need to head back to Pier 1 for some more shopping! I think a rug would be a great asset and maybe another chair. I will keep you posted.

Oh, I love that little green table. Your patio looks perfect for summer!
Thanks! 🙂
We need to repaint our wicker furniture. You did an amazing job! So you scraped the wicker clean and painted it, what kind of paint did you use? I think I know what I will be doing in the very near future!
I used outdoor spray paint. But if I had to do it again, I would use regular paint and a brush to get into the cracks, then spray.
i love their terracotta turtle with the baby on her back – super cute
You did an amazing job. I love everything you did to reinvent the space. I am crazy about the pillows at Pier One. I’m in there at least once a month getting something or other.
I would love to buy some bright serving dishes.
I love the Amelia Pedestal Tables. It would be great to place a couple of those in different corners of the yard.
I would buy the large peacock centerpiece or any of their peacock items.
I would buy the Isabelle End Table!
the love birds door mat is totally awesome!
I like that you added perfect touches of color to your patio. Those type of accents really scream fun and happiness.

I would buy the Swingasan® – Mocha
I need to get my DIY on and find some stuff to paint for deck. It’s huge, almost 800 sq ft, and I only have one dining set for it, so I’d like to add some more. You did a great job with the furniture and table.
I totally love the colors!!
What a fabulous space. I love the pillows at Pier One. They have such amazing products for the house.
I love how you spruced things up outdoors. The added pops of colors are nice!
That is adorable. I loved your painted table… fantastic!
It looks great! I used to love to shop at Pier 1, but the one near us went out of business and now I don’t have one near me. 🙁
