Here's a look at how I put together some new and older items from that wonderful store to create a farmhouse display on my kitchen sideboard.
I'll start by showing you the items I picked out as my birthday gifts from Pier 1.
I love taking my time browsing around Pier 1 perusing all the terrific items but did manage to pick out this "Our Nest" sign right away.
I loved these black and white plaid patterned bowls and got a couple of those.
Of course, a few of the matching plates and coordinating checked napkins had to come home with me as well.
The store display at Pier 1 had these dishes and napkins paired with the Magnolia line in a farm to table vibe. As much as I'd have liked to, I couldn't buy everything there so I set out to create a similar display using items I already had.
First off, I attached the Our Nest sign to the existing wall accent above our kitchen sideboard.
The black & white plates were placed in a wire basket within a galvanized bucket. This provided a nice backdrop to the vignette.
Magnolia blossoms (from Pier 1 a few years ago) were arranged throughout the display.
The black & white plaid bowls were set atop a cake plate.
I found this free printable online and put it in a black frame. It added the perfect farmhouse text to the scene.
A white pitcher was placed behind the framed sign.
I tied some black-handled flatware with twine and arranged it in a small metal pot.
A farmhouse vase was filled with faux magnolia blossoms and eucalyptus leaves.
A couple of barnyard animals joined the set.
Bessie the cow has been in the family for many years and was happy to be called into action.
Another long-time friend, Rowdy the rooster helped out as well.
Beside them, a black faux oil lantern speaks of nights out in the barn.
The shelf above the sideboard also got a bit of home-y decor added to it.
I should mention that this is NOT a Pier 1 Imports sponsored post but rather just a look at how I spent my birthday money back in April. :)
Do you ever get to buy your own birthday gifts and if so, where do you like to go shopping for them?
Thanks for visiting!

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this!! My kitchen is black and red and I have watermelons and cows in it. All year long I have the black and white buffalo check and Christmas and winter I have the red and black buffalo check. You did an awesome job! I bought a few things you did with your birthday money a few months ago.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a great time with your birthday spending. You did a great job of arranging everything, too.

Very nice. I like Pier 1, but find it pricey. I often don't buy anything. There are just so many nice things, that I can't decide.
ReplyDeleteI also love getting to pick out my own gifts.
Have a great day,
April
