The what-could-be potential of the best room in the house

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Pier 1. All opinions are 100% mine.
I am so excited that Spring has finally arrived here in Northeast Georgia. It isn’t just being able to open the windows, soak up the fresh air, and see all the green awake from it’s Winter sleep. No, it also means I finally get to use our back porch again!
One of the pluses of moving here to this house was the screen-in porch. We were able to make it into a second playroom of sorts. It also serves as a second dining room and a second living room.
And no, it isn’t that big of a space. We do have a hand-me down patio set and hand-me down outdoor rug, so right now it works. But…
I would love to take it to a true outdoor room potential! Checking out Pier 1 I see there is tons of room for imagining the what-could-be and the wouldn’t-that-look-great potential of our outdoor playroom/dining room/ living room. For starters, all their outdoor furniture is more than wicker eye candy. It could really provide back porch relaxation at very reasonable prices. I have a crush on their Rockasan™ Chair which would be an awesome place for Fuller and I to curl up and read some of his school books. And these shelves have outdoor organizing potential for all those toys we deemed “outside toys.” (Which is such a plus. Not all of Pier 1′s stuff is for inside!)
Pier 1 has teamed up with Izea for a few Pier 1 Tweetups coming up very soon! And two of them are almost near me, at least in the same state! On April 5th in the Atlanta area there are two tweet ups (the wheels in my head are spinning trying to see if I can go). And on April 20th there is one in New York City. I hear they are fabulous tweet ups.
But, if you can go to one of those, what from Pier 1 inspires you for your outdoor rooms?

I’ve been wanting a papasan chair for at least 20 years now. I’ve seen the rockasan on Pier 1′s site before and thought it was a cool twist.
In the spirit of your Year Of Me post earlier, I think I may have to make that little dream come true in 2011

Show me a papasan chair so I know what to expect when I come to visit.
