Decorating Rich goes outdoors

With beautiful weather right around the corner, try some of these fresh designs to bring a touch of class to your yard. All of these items is available at Pier 1

Stacking Chairs: It’s time to graduate from those horrible $4 plastic chairs that you can buy at your local grocery store. These beauties retail for $69.95 and come in a green, white, red & natural. Light enough to drag around your yard, yet sturdy enough to last for years to come. Bonus: they stack for easy storage

Terracotta Pot with Chalk: How cute is this?? I’m definitely buying a ton of these for Mother’s Day gifts (and end of the year teacher gifts). You can write the name of your herb, or maybe you buy a pot for each member of your family and let them test their green thumb. Regardless of what you do with it, I can’t imagine anyone who wouldn’t smile after seeing one of these.

Flower Garden Stool: Ok, I’m even more in love with these than I am with the Terracotta Pot. The color is perfect, the size is adorable, and the design is classic. A wonderful updated print applied to an old classic - the garden stool. I can picture it on the edge of a coy pond, nestled right up against a huge patriot hosta (or underneath a Magnolia tree). OR, if you have pond phobia (as I do) this stool would brighten up any sunroom. In fact, it could be a summer version of your Living room end table. So many uses!

Suzani Outdoor Pillow: What patio wouldn’t come alive with a cheery pillow like this one. I’m impressed by the bright colors and happy design. Historically it’s hard to find outdoor fabrics in bright colors (due to the sun’s fading effects). I’m interested to see if this pillow will hold up to the strong summer sun.
