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.

Ashley says
IDEA ME! (and hootie hoo! I love her!)
Lori says
IDEA ME. I just used an old cabinet door that’s been sitting in my basement for several years to make a sign (with our family name) for our front porch. I thought that was pretty creative.
Kate says
IDEA ME!
My most creative ideas are when I take an existing object and change one little thing to make it more “me.” Then something that I really liked, turns into something that I lurrve!
melissa says
IDEA ME!
I was an art major so I like to think that I have a lot of creative ideas.
Hollie @ I'm Busy Procrastinating says
Idea me, baby! Haven’t been to Lowe’s in a while b/c it’s farther away than HD. Would love to have an excuse to drive a little farther!

tara says
IDEA ME!!! I’m working on a slide show of my daughter’s first year for her bday next month. It’s sorta creative I guess!

I was re-doing our bedroom and wanted some linen curtains…buying them were too expensive, so i tried my hand at making some lined linen curtains…even added a design that matched our bedspread.
Mendi R says
Idea me!
Hollie @ I'm Busy Procrastinating says
My most creative idea recently was to use nesting baskets to house bath linens in our bathroom. They’re within easy reach of the shower, and now our closet has more space for other things! You may have seen the photo floating around on Pinterest. Here’s a direct link to my post: http://www.imbusyprocrastinating.com/2011/06/design-solution-wall-baskets-for-bath.html
sara says
Idea Me!
I made a fall wreath this weekend! Maybe not most creative – but a favorite!
RT Parsons says
Idea Me!
Flooring, paint, bathroom fixtures, tile, molding, and more all need to be picked for our remodeled upstairs … so too many needs and not enough ideas!
Catherine says
IDEA ME!! Turning an old dining room hutch into a fun wine bar might be my most creative idea!
Sharon L says
IDEA ME!
Since we are homeowners.turned.renters, we need more ideas!
So far the best thing I have come up with was to build an Adirondack side table from pallet wood (ty Ana White), and spray paint our old white plastic lawn chairs to match the red I painted the table.(BM Brilliant Red) This is our first experience having a true front porch, so we wanted it to look put together!
Ellen says
IDEA ME!!!! I need a Lowes gift card for inspiration!
Megan says
IDEA ME!
My best idea? Listening to my boyfriend when he had the great idea to turn a shared doorway between two bedrooms into a closet – he’s the idea generator of our relationship.
LaTonya says
IDEA ME! My husband and I live in an apartment that is restrictive of making any permanent changes. While I would love to be a homeowner so I can really personalize my space, that is not quite possible right now. We have some really standard light birch wood grain laminate cabinets in our kitchen. I would like to update the look with a darker wood and am thinking of using a heavy duty cherry or walnut designed contact paper. It will really update the look of the kitchen and make it more ‘Me.’ I am looking to do a few other things. Painting is allowed and I would love to find a temporary solution to update the kitchen countertops. More contact paper maybe?
Ellen says
IDEA ME!!!
Stephanie Young says
IDEA ME
hmmm my most creative idea? Maybe making handbags out of discontinued fabric remnants that my office was throwing out. My mom was impressed :)
Skeeter says
Idea me!
And I’d have to say my best idea was to sell everything and move to New Zealand for a year. Not exactly creative or artistic, but my best idea to date for sure!
Jennie says
IDEA ME!
I’m not the most creative when it comes to these kinds of projects, but we just bought a house so I definitely need to start!
Cole says
IDEA ME!!! My wife could think of plenty of creative ways to use this in our home!
Kimberly says
Idea Me!
Making little booties for my new niece. I’ve never been skilled with a sewing machine!
Cole says

Kendra says
IDEA ME
Teaching my two year old how to use the dusterbuster is one of the greatest ideas i’ve had in a while. she thinks it is the coolest thing ever and my house has never been so crumb and dust free!
Pammy says
IDEA ME!
When I was a teenager I created an interesting piece of art by popping white Xmas lights through foam core into a huge star design! I thought it was the most creative thing ever. Kind of like a huge light bright.
Kristina says
Idea me. After I broke a mirror I replace the frame with fabric that I dip-dyed.
Eli S. says
IDEA ME!
We used a white sheet stretched over a large self-designed wooden frame to make a “canvas” for our TV projector.
Nell says
IDEA Me! I found some cheap frames without glass and framed some pretty seashells.
Ali Miller says
IDEA ME!!! (I have loved reading everyone’s ideas!)
I have not done it yet, but I have an old headboard in my garage that is wooden and really ornate. It’s only held together in the middle by two spots, and two spots attach each of the individual sections to the posts on the side. Since it no longer fits any bed that we have, I think it would make two great wall hangings. I’m going to have my husband saw through to make the two separate pieces, and then I’m not sure if I’m going to stain them or paint them (or even mosaic inside a groove that travels through the whole piece).
Gina says
IDEA ME!
Dale says
IDEA ME!
My most creative (although not that creative) idea has been decorating our bathroom with black and white pics of our baby girl playing in the bathtub.
Pat McCain says
IDEA ME!
I truly struggle with the creative gene and I am a PISCES too. I am supposed to be creative!
I often go to Lowes and drool – imagining how this or that would look in my house.
Hana Zima says
IDEA ME
No awesome ideas other than a really creative scrapbooking page. Excited Lowes has paint in the sample sizes though! Just picked up three yesterday to figure out if the room is to dark or not.
Corrie M says
Idea Me!
My little girl’s nursery….I’m in love with it:)
Cindy Miller says
I painted all my outside light fixtures with spray paint. Rubbed Oil Bronze, wow my light fixtures looks amazing.
My domestic side uses a potato masher to crumble ground beef or italian sausage when making tacos or spaghetti dishes.
Jackie says
Idea Me!
Creative Idea – Making a large peace sign out of many wine and champagne bottle corks for free wall art!
Thank you!
