IDEA ME!
In my last house, I had a photo wall, similar to yours. Mine spanned the entire wall above the sofa and all the photos were in black frames of different sizes. In my travels, I planned on one great photo of each place I spent time in (a few days or more). It was a great conversation piece and momento of my travels.

Idea me!
The “musical wall” we built on our fence. It’s made up of odds-and-ends we got at Goodwill, and our kiddo loves to make music on it– in between rides down the slide,

Maggie @ Say Yes to Salad says
IDEA ME!!
My most creative idea… using clips to keep cords organized and keep cords attached to tables (so when you unplug your laptop the cord doesn’t fall behind the desk). I’m talking about those black clips with foldy metal bits.
Lindsay says
Idea Me! Using a fabric shower curtain on canvas as artwork in my bathroom.
angela says
IDEA ME!!!
ditto to copying ideas from pinterest!
Melanie says
IDEA ME and hootie hoo. ;p
My all time most creative idea… see, this is like a pop quiz now, and I’m blanking out in quiz panic. I *did* build/install pegboard & dowel organization in my kitchen drawers this weekend. I also once made jail cells (with my dad’s help) for a high school play out of 2x4s and pvc pipe for all the bars. Not at all useful day-to-day, but fun!
Erica says
IDEA ME
Space planning and remodeling a half bath in a full bath in our house to make a master bath and another full bath.

IDEA ME!
$50 in my pocket on a trip to Lowes could spawn LOTS of great ideas :)
Leigh says
idea me!
greatest idea – sensor motion light switch in our entryway. never have to find the light switch in the dark while carrying groceries again!
Elizabeth says
IDEA ME!
My favorite idea is actually one of my husbands – we were installing open shelves in our kitchen using old corbels from architectural salvage. Instead of having to cut to size, sand and finish the shelves, he used pre-cut stair treds from Lowes. The had a great bull nose finish on the front and fit perfectly!

A low-budget wedding we also DIYd to look like a million bucks!

Anne says
Idea Me!!!
I like to multipurpose my flowers from the yard also as housewarming gifts.
Sally G says
IDEA ME!
Hm… most creative? Probably the viking feast I once threw for a bunch of jr. high kids. Eating with hands, yelling at the table, it was a riot… almost literally. They loved every second.
Tricia says
IDEA ME!
My most creative idea was beet muffins. Needless to say my husband was unimpressed and doubts my cooking skills to this day. Oh well… here’s hoping I win the gift card so I can redeem myself.
Marcela says
IDEA ME!!
The greatest idea I had was two nights ago when I decided I didn’t need a recipe for soup…I can wing it…and it was great!
Lynette says
Idea Me!
The most creative I have been lately is making a decorative coffee cup into a pen/marker holder. (I know – not up there on the creative scale). I was looking for a pen holder for my desk and couldn’t find one in the right color/style. Then I found the most awesome coffee cup and thought, “why not?” Still love it…makes me smile every time I need a pen.
Mike says
IDEA ME!
When I was 5 yrs old I came up with the idea for cookie crisp cereal. Too bad I didn’t know how to write or I could have filled out a patent before GM came up with the same idea 2 yrs later…

Idea me! I realized that all my jewelry was in one big messy pile in a bowl all the time, so I made some jewelry holders out of picture frames with the glass taken out and replaced with tulle. It works great. :)

We love LOWE’s …. their lighting department is the best! Best thing I ever did is upgrade to Bosch washer & dryer based on one of their employee’s suggestions. Not exactly creative on our part, but their appliances rock!
Beth says
IDEA ME!
My most creative idea (to date) was hanging a cork wall in the kids playroom! It’s the perfect place for all their artwork! I could use that giftcard for my bathroom redo! The creative juices are percolating!

I just built a spice shelf in our kitchen to clear the spice jar clutter from the back of the stove – makes me so happy when I walk in there and see the nice clear stove top!
Jess says
IDEA ME!
I’m a quilter and instead of buying yardage to back my quilts I always have my eye out for cool sheets. I can find some awesome prints and for a lot less money…and it’s a lot less work.
