My Favorite Picks from Pier 1
How is it May already?? That's completely banana boats! Also, I was told that April showers bring May flowers, but what do May showers bring? All they seem to bring to me is a crabby attitude. Ha! Hoping it warms up soon so we can actually do some work in the yard. It's been a little here and there, but nothing substantial. I also have 5 new perennials in the garage, waiting to be planted--I had to hide them in there from the frost warnings we've had.
I'm sharing some of my favorite picks from Pier 1 with you today. I'm loving so many things and trying to decide which pieces would pack the most punch in my space! I have no need for the buffalo check arm chair, but it's staring me down pretty hard! Which is your favorite?
Happy shopping!
When you live in Iowa, you want to make the most of being outdoors when the weather is nice. Part of enjoying what your home has to offer, and your surroundings, is making sure you have things to do! We have loved working on projects around our home and then enjoying relaxing around our Solo Stove fire pit in the evening—it’s the perfect way to unwind. Even better? Inviting friends and family over to take advantage of the experience with us!
Need an easy, relatively inexpensive way for your patio umbrellas to stand up? I’m sharing the DIY Patio Pot Umbrella Stands I made for our backyard space. It’s a beginner-level project that will impress the neighbors!
Are you looking for a fun way to use your fall pumpkins when the season is done? How about making pumpkin bird feeders? They’re easy to make, sustainable, and are completely edible for birds and furry friends alike!
Do you have outdoor furniture that has seen better days? Have you ever thought about painting it? I painted the cushions on our outdoor sectional and I love the way they turned out! A big return on a small investment is my favorite kind of DIY project! I’m sharing all the details with you in this blog post, so you can decide if you want to try it too!
Adding string lights to our garden space has created such a special and magical feel. I love how it looks so much and want to share how we made our DIY outdoor string light poles. Even better? We hung solar string lights since there isn’t an electrical outlet in that part of the yard—they work so well!
Have you ever noticed how expensive patio and deck planters are? I’m sharing a budget-friendly project, turning old metal file cabinets into modern design planter boxes. Whether you have a couple taking up space in your garage/basement or pick some up at the thrift store, this upcycle is sure to please.
