I’m a lowly renter. As a renter, outdoor space is severely lacking. So, every spring when the dogwood trees start blooming and the botanical gardens is advertising their annual plant sale, I’m day dreaming of finally making my tiny little concrete patio into a place where I’d want to enjoy an after dinner drink or relax on a late Saturday afternoon.

Something like this, put together at Pier 1…

Just imagine my little succulent garden (because that’s the only type of plant I can keep alive) in the corner, a frosty margarita on the table, and my Weiner dog sunning on the rug. Perfection! You’re all invited! (Just call ahead, mmkay? Those margaritas don’t make themselves.)

Whether you’re completely transforming a space or just updating your decor, you’ll find everything from furniture to decor to the iconic Papasan chair (how did I not know that Pier 1 was responsible for this modern marvel?) in the Pier 1 Outdoor newsletter with plenty of ideas to inspire your outdoor living space this summer. And if you sign up now, you’ll receive a special in-store offer valid the weekend of March 18th, which just so happens to be my birthday, in case you’d like to pick me up a little something.

If you live in Dallas, Atlanta, or NYC, mark your calendars for the Pier 1 Tweetups. You’ll get to browse all the newest seasonal items and meet others interested in design, decor, or just making the most of their living space.

Are you (and your patio) ready for spring?
