WE'RE SORRY, BUT THIS GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED. CHECK BACK SOON FOR ANOTHER GREAT GIVEAWAY.
Lemonade? Check. Shish kebabs? Check. Patio furniture? Um.
Whether your patio is naked or you're still using those rusty old lawn chairs, isn't it about time for an outdoor furniture upgrade? We thought so, so we're giving away this wooden folding patio set from Pier 1 Imports. Make this the summer you quit balancing those paper plates on your knees!
Aimee Beatty, Pier 1 Imports' in-house stylist, recommends keeping a set of outdoor dinnerware (we love melamine!) on hand for spur-of-the-moment outdoor entertaining. Treat the patio like you would any other room in the house, she says, and furnish it with outdoor rugs and pillows. Battery-operated paper lanterns are an easy finishing touch. All this and more available at Pier 1 stores this summer.
The Pier Painted Wood Green Folding Table is 42 inches wide, with a center hole for an umbrella. When the party dies down--or the impromptu dance floor expands--just fold it up for more room. Matching Pier Painted Wood Green Folding Chairs are ideal for summer barbecues.

I'm really, REALLY hoping to put in a deck in our backyard. Our dogs have torn up the area right in front of our screened-in porch, and I'd love to cover it with some pretty, sustainable wood. We just have to talk a few friends into helping!
ReplyAdding some flagstone lining to the back yard to accent the landscape.
ReplyRe-do our balcony/patio, which right now is a catchall for birdseed husks, dead plants, and old, drippy throw-rugs.
ReplyI will be replacing a few windows.
ReplyWe're hoping to build a fort in the backyard for the kids.
ReplyWe will be adding a stone patio to our backyard!
ReplyMy goal is to deck out my deck, haha! I'm looking to get a BBQ and really make it a weloming place for my friends and all of our furry four-legged friends too. Secondary to that I'm looking to stylize my backyard with a firepit surrounded by chairs--I already ahve the sand ready in a large circle!
ReplyA patio with a fireplace, sun room, wine cellar, new master bathroom.... there's no end!
ReplyWe will be moving in a month and need to do some serious interior painting. It seems like such a daunting task to figure out great color schemes!
ReplyWe are trying to improve our backyard~built some steps to the back door of our mobile home last summer and a small covered area over the front steps; have just started getting them painted. I've already sanded and repainted an old potato/onion bin and a wood shelf for in our bedroom. Hoping to get some painting done in the kitchen. We are so busy with work, that we haven't had a lot of time to fix up much of anything although we do have lots of ideas; just waiting for some spare time to get at them! Right now we just have an old wooden table in the yard with some run down (and desperately need painting!) small benches. Would be so nice to have a new table and chairs to sit at and enjoy a barbeque after a hard days work :)
ReplyGood luck to everyone who enters!
I am really hoping to be able to at least start on the backyard around the pool...we would like to add a gazebo, rocks, stepping stones, sitting areas, plants, etc.
ReplyI plan to put a (small) pond and some plants by the entryway. Perhaps some planters outside the garage door. I would also like to add some lights to the walkway.
ReplyTrying to make our Apartment patio loungey and chic instead of a slab of concrete with a railing.
ReplyAs a new homeowner, you have to make priorities when you buy things to fill up your space. We focused on furniture for the inside of the house, but now we're ready to spruce up the back deck. We have a huge yard and I rarely see it because we don't have a place to sit and relax! This set is perfect! My husband and I love to eat outside and I know we could spend hours sitting at this table and chatting.
ReplyI'm going to build a planter for an herb garden and start growing some basil, cilantro, thyme, and some others. Super excited about it!
ReplyHey all. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyI just bought my first home and one of our first projects will be a deck out back. This would make an excellent addition to our new home.
We are working on putting up a pool in our yard that I got a great deal on at the end of last summer. Would love to have the funds to finish it off nicely with some rubber mulch surrounding it and a nice storage bench next to it.
ReplyThe list is so long, I don't know where to start! I guess with the covered deck area, it was damaged by falling limbs in the ice storm that devastated the Ozarks this January. The old one is coming down, along with a few trees that caused the damage, then a larger partially covered deck will replace it.
ReplyOver the last past 4 yrs...I had put endless amounts if landscaping into our dream house we built, Only to have to move do to my husbands job. I am now starting all over and would love to win this cute set that I have been also eyeing at the store. fingers crossed maybe i'll win :)
ReplyTake our backyard back from the weeds! HA! Repair our gazebo and swing. Will re-seed come fall. I love my backyard it is our oasis.
