A couple months ago, Pier 1 invited me to stop into their 5th Ave store to take photos of my favorite holiday wares. It was so much fun that I jumped at the chance to stop in again to see their new spring line. And guess what? Pier 1 is offering up a $500 gift card to one of you lucky readers!
Want to see what caught my eye at Pier 1? I was pretty impressed by their outdoor furniture line. We have a rooftop deck and I think some of these pieces would look great up there now that the weather is warming up. I loved this pretty rattan chair with the creamy white cushion:
And aren’t those velvet pillows pretty? They’re an additional 20% off right now. (PS if you sign up for the Pier 1 Outdoor newsletter, you’ll get additional sale info and coupons)
I also loved this wing back style wicker chair:
There was a settee in this style too that I also really liked.
For my outdoor space, I would mix a pair of one of the rattan chairs from above with a couple of fun accents chairs, like this scrolled peacock chair:
Or a pair of these teal lacquered arm chairs:
I also really liked this little wooden accent chair:
I would also throw in a fun outdoor rug or two:
And speaking of rugs, I really loved this wool ombre rug:
I was impressed with the quality of the wool given the price…
There were some really fun accessories at the store too, like this backgammon table:
And these enamelware canisters in a pretty mint/jade color. I like the more modern font.
I couldn’t resist buying one of these beautiful bowls.
They sort of remind me of a giant clam, but are a little more functional and can be used in the kitchen. Also these would be great for larger flower arrangements.
I really love these marbled glass tumblers, but I couldn’t decide between the acid yellow or the cornflower blue.
Cute resin coasters for a summer bbq!
I picked up a set of these porcelain mushrooms for the built-ins in my girls room:
Wouldn’t this chest of drawers be great painted or leafed?
Sort of a rustic Louis style chair:
This is one of my favorite finds of the day. $160 for a really lovely slipper chair. The pattern on the fabric will mix really well with other patterns and colors.
**Update: Pier 1 has received some direct emails from some readers wanting to enter the contest. To be clear, the only two ways to enter the contest are to leave a comment here on LGN or to tweet. Thanks!
i would get: the chas chair or hibiscus wing chair, some of those cute mushrooms!!, and if i had any left over (if i chose the hibiscus chair) i would put it towards that dresser you posted and re-paint it in a lacquer (some shade of blue???).
What an awesome giveaway :)
I'm moving to Disney for an internship and have never been able to live in an apartment yet, so I would use the gift card to furnish my new apartment fabulously!
I'd like to get a rug and use it as a huge decorative wall hanging!
I would LOVE to have the $500 Pier 1 gift card! My husband and I just bought our very first house, and there is a lot of decorating to be done. We are all set on furniture (a lot of it actually from Pier 1!) but need accents – L O V I N G that Honeycomb mirror, by the way. Since I'm fairly sure my husband is about to cut off my spending (moving is expensive!), the gift card would be wonderful!
I would LOVE to win the $500 gift card! My husband and I just bought our very first house, and while we are okay on furniture (a lot from Pier 1!), we are in need of a lot of accent pieces (L O V I N G that honeycomb mirror!). Since I'm fairly sure my huband is about to cut off my spending, a gift card for accent buying would be greatly appreciated. :-)
would probably go for some outdoor furniture…we converted our deck to screened in porch and I want some seating for out there!
i'd choose a rug, or perhaps an armchair.
thanks for the opportunity!
I wouldn't know where to start but probably a dining set. I love their frop leaf table. I also love a few of their accent tables and if there were any money left I'd probably pick up some of my favorite Asian Spice diffusers!
I'm not sure I did this properly. Let me know if I didn't. Thank you!!
We are recently done with school and have therefore been dirt poor so I'd love to start our new place off right with accessories, pillows and even furniture. Oh it would be heavenly to have a financial boost!
I would get a rug and new dining chairs for my kitchen makeover.
lafergs@comcast.net–this goes with the last comment!
What a great giveaway! I just went shopping at Pier 1 today actually, and love some of the dining chairs you posted pictures of. I also have my eye on one of their couches and some cute throw pillows.
I love Pier 1! I think I would have to start with a mirror I had spotted there next month, and then maybe move on to one of their great couches!
i would love to get some patio furniture since we have been trying to finsih our backyard for that last few years now. thanks for the giveaway!!

I'm moving into a new apartment and was already planning to purchase a couple of new accent chairs. I'm torn between the slipper chair and the bright floral arm chair.

A cute slipcovered chair for my bedroom!
I am in the process of buying a condo, and since I need to furnish it….this would be perfect! Some key pieces I would buy are accent chairs, mirrors, drapes, etc!!
I would get a mirror, some glass lamps and a great big rug! If there was any left over I would stock up on some of their kitchen goodies-I love their selection of dishes.
I would get the white pedastal talbe for my kitchen….and some chair cushions, too! THanks for the opportunity!

My husband and I have spent a year on furnishing/decorating the inside of our home, so now its time to focus on our bare front and back yards. Needless to say, there are many outdoor items I could find to round out the $500 if I won! Thanks for the giveaway.
i would get a rug for my daughter's room and 2 chairs for mine! thank you!!
I would get the last chair you posted….I'm looking for some stuff for my kitchen too! I need some fun stuff for summer. Great giveaway!

Wow- great giveaway! I think that anthropologie looking chair could come live with me!
I really love the Isaac Swivel chair! And a few kitchen containers for flour, sugar and the like are a must have!
Thanks to you and Pier 1 for such a great giveaway!
I would love to use the $500 as a surprise for my daughter, her patio could use the cheery kind of face lift that I know Pier 1 could provide. I especially would like to find an umbrella so that she would be able to sit outside with her new baby!
Many thanks to you and to Pier 1 for such a wonderful giveaway!!
hi!! This is a great giveaway! We just moved to NY from FL and sold all our stuff before moving. Now we're starting from scratch and can't wait to put our new place together. With this give away I would get dining chairs, rugs, accessories, end tables, frames, and MUCH MUCH MORE! I love Pier 1 <3 <3 <3 Thanks for sharing! Good luck to everyone :)
I'd love to get an awesome rug from
Pier One!
aubrey.gideon@gmail.com
I'd spend it on furniture or rugs.
Do I have to choose? I'd love some bar stools for my countertop, or some pillows for my bereft master bed, or a great rug for my entry way, …the list goes on! Thanks!
I've just bought my first house ever, so I would love to fill it all in with the brand new Lilliana Chair. It's absolutely cute! It's vibrant and fun. I'd certainly put it to good use! =)
Too many things to choose! I would maybe start with the Hayworth Upholstered Bench for the foot our bed-been in major need of doing something different in our bedroom. Then I'd probably go crazy with throw pillows and other accessories! Love Pier 1!
Hope I win, I love Pier 1!!

I'd buy the Temani chair, some of those cute throw pillows, and some pretty glassware!
Our new home–a Southern charmer built in 1900 and in a national Historic District–NEEDS a pair of the Chas chairs….they are gorgeous! Oh, and while we're dreaming, I would love the Asian inspired bird lamps with the chocolate shades!
