Raise your hand if you want a $50 Lowe’s gift card. Or better yet, give me a “hootie hoo.” And if the thought of being one of two lucky winners doesn’t instantly get your brain spinning with all of the potential projects that you could tackle, Lowe’s Creative Ideas will happily fill your head with… wait for it… creative ideas. You may already know of the free Lowe’s Creative Ideas magazines (if not, you can subscribe to ’em here), but even we didn’t realize how much content they have on their website and Facebook page. And along with bigger building and DIY ideas they’ve also got decor tutorials (like stamping curtains) and crafty stuff (like making silhouette art) too.

Idea Me!
Love my grey color scheme paint throughout my condo. The tones range from very light to charcoal and makes it flow so well.

IDEA ME!
S. Shaw says
IDEA ME!
My ingenious sheet folding procedure guarantees a neatly folded sheet stack AND makes making up the bed a breeze. Patent pending.
Eugenie says
Idea Me!
Too tired from a cold to remember being creative, but would love to by some paint to get some mirror painting checked off my list!
Melody Benschoter says
Idea me!
Um, I totally let the dog eat off the kitchen floor- isn’t that the whole reason to get a dog?!?
We finally hung a clothes rod in the laundry room so I can hang shirts up straight from the dryer. Why did it take me until my mid-30s to finally try that little trick? Genius!
Elyse says
IDEA ME!!!!!!
Debbie says
IDEA ME!!
Can use all of the help I can get!
marilu says
IDEA ME!
I found a $3-ish sconce on super clearance at Lowes that saved us from replacing a ceiling fan, which saved us $$$, since I was looking at different sconce/fan combos, but then this awesome deal pulled the existing look together!
Nathan says
IDEA ME!
claire says

Rebekah from SoCal says
IDEA ME! I coordinated and designed a 50+ page cookbook for my BFF who got married in August. It turned out really well, but I didn’t not anticipate what a psycho detail oriented freak I would be about making it perfect.
Trina says
IDEA ME!
Karis says
Idea me!
The Ikea countertop and pot rack we just added to our new kitchen looks great and gave us the storage we needed on a new home budget. I have plenty more ideas to put in motion once I have the time and moolah!
Jennifer Finley says
IDEA ME! we have too many projects to count . . . new front and back doors, staining a fence, repairing the garage . . .
Britiney says
IDEA ME!! I honestly can’t think of one single amazing idea I’ve had recently. Clearly I need to win this giveaway!
Carrie says
IDEA ME!
My creative idea has yet to happen! I got a pair of chairs to paint but I keep changing my mind on the color!!
Emily says
Idea me! I’m still improving my DIY-house skills, but I am pretty good at coming up with tasty and healthy meals with whatever is on hand. Also, my garden has been out of control this year, so that’s been fun to put to use.
Thanks for hosting the giveaway!
Lyndsey says
IDEA ME!!!
UGG CANT THINK OF ANY CREATIVE IDEAS RIGHT NOW BUT I KNOW I HAVE PLENTY…
Katie says
IDEA ME!
I used clearance Target placemats as super cool art to stage my house.
Christy Lynn says
IDEA Me!!
Not so much my idea, but when I discovered all of the amazing household uses for vinegar….my life changed for the better! :)
Jennifer says
IDEA ME!
I took a chance on an awful looking chair at a thrift store, recovered it and now it is the most fought over chair in the house.
Vicky says
IDEA ME!
When I first moved into my house there were doors I didn’t need, so I took 2 of them down, put green board into the sunken middle panel and tiled the indented space to make a table top. I used it for a counter in my kitchen before I remodeled it.
jeanna says
idea me!
Our best solution to an over sized mantle was to cut it down the middle and my amazing husband was able to almost seamlessly with bondo (same type you use on cars) put it back together! Those 6″ made a HUGE difference!
Eileen Hall says
Idea me!
I used a potato to remove broken lightbulb.
Laura says
IDEA ME!
slightly lacking in the creative department that is why i am always on younghouselove.com
Sarah K says
IDEA ME!
Katy says
Idea me! My best idea? Easy. Deciding to have a baby. :)
Kendall says
IDEA ME! And my current favorite creative project is the cheap and quick art I made for the top of our staircase. I put green tissue paper in a white RIBBA frame from IKEA and my husband and I each stepped in white paint and put our footprints on it along with our baby’s footprints. It makes me smile each time I walk up the stairs.
Meredith Nassihi says
Idea me. I think my most creative was using tension rods and a curtain sheer to make shift a screen on our family roo door for six months.
Jess@atasteofconfidence says
IDEA ME!
great giveaway:)
Malea says
Idea me!
The most recent adventure was sawing a shelf out of a computer desk to make room for a monitor. That was a neck saver project.
Kim Gutierrez says
IDEA ME!!!!
The most creative idea I’ve had recently is to use binders with sheet protectors inside to keep all those “want to do”, “reference”, and “awesome gift ideas” that I find in magazines. Instead of keeping the whole magazine I’ve been cutting out the pertinent info and then putting it into the correct binder. Has made life so much easier to not have 20 million scraps of magazine cluttering up my desk area.
Sara says
Idea Me!
My most creative idea was using an old cushy ottoman as a reading nook in my 2 year old daughter’s room. I just put it in the corner near the window with some fluffy colorful pillows, a small table & lamp, and baskets of books. She loves it, and it’s the perfect size for her to cuddle up with a book. So glad I didn’t toss the ottoman with the worn-out chair! :)
brian says

Joy says
Idea Me!! I redid some wall art using the flowers from my sister in laws wedding bouquet.
Jenny says
IDEA ME! My most awesome ideas usually come from pinterest. (so they’re not exactly mine). LOL!
Ginger M. says
Idea Me!
My best idea so far was designing our bathroom from ground up in our finished attic space in our old condo. Nothing like seeing your vision literally created in front of your eyes.
Natasha says
Idea me!
JB says
Idea Me!!!
Amy says
IDEA ME! Please.
Meghan says
IDEA ME! Most creative idea or my grandmothers most creative idea, that I now love to do is walk around pick up flowers, dry them and make my own wreath! :)
Paul says
IDEA ME!
I once collected all those mussel shells off the beach and glued them to a jar – awesome color blue on the inside – everyone always ignores them . . .
Eilene says
IDEA ME!
My most creative idea was taking apart and old table to use the carved sides as wall decor. They were veneer and kind of ugly, but painted a fun color made them look awesome!
Chris says
IDEA ME!
I went to a local gift shop last November. They offered blue glass Christmas bulbs in a crystal bowl for $40. I thought, you gotta be kidding me. I got used blue glass bulbs at the DAV thrift store for $2. I got a nice glass bowl from Salvation Army for $4. Total hack at 85% discount!
John says
IDEA ME PLEASE!
