This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Pier 1 for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
I am currently working on my next issue of ::Surroundings:: digital magazine (due out in mid-May!) and it's all about kitchens and dining. My summer issue (due out in July) will be focused on outdoor living. So, I thought the timing was perfect when the folks at Pier 1 asked me to check out their line of indoor/outdoor furnishings.
Here in New England, we generally have a very short outdoor season and so we want to take full advantage of the time we do have to be outdoors.
I love a garden bench and think the Jardin de Marie trellis bench would be a fantastic anchor to an outdoor dining room. Of course, we'll need some pillows for color and comfort:
The coordinating table is just right for intimate dining for two or three.
Throw in a splash of color with a couple Blue outdoor stacking chairs.
And these classic garden stools will provide extra seating or side table space.
Pier 1 has a cute selection of outdoor dishes and glassware.
And, of course, we need some ambiance:
And some citronella is needed to keep the mosquitos away.
Now, the only decision is, what's on the menu?
