I love Pier One, and I have bought several items there, from cushions to picture frames to lamps. I find it a really nice place to find accents for my home, but I wouldn't buy everything for my home decorating project(s) there because I also find it quite pricey. Having said that, however, I certainly don't mind paying a bit more for the occasional piece of decor that really 'classes up' a room or space - for example, I have a really nice framed mirror in my front hall from Pier One that just makes the whole front hall a lot 'nicer' looking. I also find the staff there very friendly, without being pushy or stuck-up. I have recommended this place to friends, if for nothing more than a place to get great decor ideas (and they usually find one or two things when they go).
