***This giveaway is no longer expecting entries – see who won below!***
Random.org once again spun its wonderful wheel of randomness and selected our two winners as… Amy @ Larryspearslive.com and Amanda Deerr. Congrats ladies!
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!
and my most creative idea was putting lavender buds in a self-made sewn bandana and tied it on my dogs to prevent fleas and ticks. It worked!
Erin says
IDEA ME!
I really want a headboard but it has to fit under the window over our bed and not make the bed stick out too far, I’m thinking the Ikea Lack Table like you did a while back!
Megan Tisdale says
IDEA ME!
I love paint, I paint everything I can. My husband says I channel my chameleon way too often (he’s tall and I’m not so he paints up high :) I’m wanting to get some neat bright color/colors to re-spray some patio furniture. Since we live in a coastal community I’m thinking bold and modern or bright and airy…
Lauren says
IDEA ME! I had an “aha” moment this weekend when I realized that the picture I had in the bathroom in our old house looks even better in the new one!
Brittany says

“IDEA ME” Oh please oh Please I never win anything but I always try anyway! Love you guys!!!!
SarahM says
IDEA ME! I can make an amazing fruit fly trap– all I need is a glass, a piece of fruit, and a piece of paper.
Sayward says
Idea Me!
I’m a creative girl, but a busy girl. I need more Pinterest challenges to motivate me to use my creativity!
Christina M says
Idea me!
Cristina says
IDEA ME
Lindsey Turner says
IDEA ME!! I also do not have an all-time creative moment that I can think of–but putting basically random stuff into a crock-pot and then heading off to work only to come home to a delicious creation should count! :-)
Wendy Benoit says
IDEA ME
My favorite one is putting dimmer switches in the bathroom lights… They come very handy in the morning when caffeine has not kicked in yet!
Wendy-
Kari says
IDEA ME
Most creative moment was probably almost anything in my DIY wedding. Haven’t been too creative since! haha
Teresa says
IDEA ME!
Combination bookcase/china cabinet to cover faux wood paneling wall in our living room and store all our stuff!
Courtney says
IDEA ME!!!
Coralling all of our “do you know where my ____” is in baskets by the front door. My husband still misplaces stuff, but less often then before…
Kristin W. says
IDEA ME!
My most creative idea was actually my husband’s. We had a beautiful table runner from our wedding that didn’t fit on our table- so we placed it over a storage unit in the dining room to tie everything together. The runner matched our place settings!
Stacie Sawvell says
IDEA ME
My solution to a hole in the ceiling in switching a light fixture.
Ashley M says
IDEA ME!
I recycled two old target canvas prints from my college days. I spray painted them gray, then painted white state outlines on them (VA and SC, my two homes). I finished ’em with yellow stars on McLean and Charleston, the two cities said homes are in. I love em and didn’t spend a penny since I already had all the materials!
Lauren says
Idea me!
Not sure it was my most creative moment but it might be my favorite – I got a tablecloth from Ten Thousand Villages and turned it into curtains that I love!
Rachel A says
IDEA ME!
It is…possible…that I bought round gray placemats and stuck them on the wall above my bed in a pattern to create a decorative headboard. If I ever get tired of it (or live in a place bigger than this rental), I can always eat off of them…
Cindi Carlson says
IDEA ME! reusing old deck lumber that i scored from someone else to make new steps/deck at our camp. thanks for the give away
Megan W. says
Idea me!
I have a salvaged dresser that is going to need some creative work to get it looking great. Could definitely use the Lowe’s inspiration!!
Jen Long says
IDEA ME!
Lori M. says
IDEA ME!
After running the dryer, I use the bounce fabric sheet to wipe off the lint tray! It really helps clean it quickly and perfectly!!
JaymieInMN says
IDEA ME!
I wish I was creative to come up with something on my own. Sadly, I steal everything creative from the internet.
Kelsey Thompson says
IDEA ME!!
carrie says
IDEA ME…needing to paint some more of the house (maybe the agrage, or someday another nursary)
Kmcroce says
Idea me!
Melissa S says
Idea Me… we turned our one bath house into a two bath house!
Sally says
IDEA ME!
Embroidery hoops with pretty fabric in my nursery–although I can’t take credit for the idea, I think my fabrics are perfect on a gray wall!
Stephanie says
Idea me!
I made a fake fireplace and mantle for my dining room out of a set of old double doors I found at Habitat. It gives a cozy feeling of the fireplace without the fire. And it looks totally boss.
Ashley says
IDEA ME! I could clearly use some for my new home!
Julie says
IDEA ME!!!
My most creative idea is in the works at a patent lawyer so I cant tell, but wish me luck that I will hit it big so I can make my house perty…:)
emily jane says
idea me!
Julie says
Idea me!!
I made a darling mobile for Baby Girl’s room using an embroidery hoop, clear thread, small beads, and punched card stock butterflies I bought on Etsy (but could have easily made myself if I’d invested in a punch). It took some time and lots of love, and now it looks great hanging above her crib! AND, it was loads cheaper than buying one!
Jennifer says
Idea Me!
I had the idea to add horizontal stripes to one wall in my bedroom, totally broke up the boring brown I had going on in there.
nina says
Idea me! My most creative moment, or dumbest moment, was buying a fixer upper that was barely liveable.
Amanda says
Idea Me!!!
Stenciling my daughters dresser
Maureen says
IDEA ME…
I’m not the most creative individual, but this week I have gone crazy. I made two succulent terrariums, a few cheap decor items, some pillowcases, and a skirt! My husband and I (let’s be honest, he’s just along for the ride) want to create a chalkboard from molding & scrap press wood to keep a running tab of our game scores. Yes, we spend hours on weekends playing dominoes, cribbage, and a multitude of board games.
Janel says
IDEA ME!
I’m an accountant, creativity is discouraged. :) That’s why I spend SO much time on the interent stealing other people’s creative ideas…
Suzanne says
IDEA ME
Carrie says
IDEA ME!
A dimmer switch saved our marriage! No more fussing from the husband when I turn on the light very low to navigate my way around the bed and the sleeping dog on the floor.

“IDEA ME”
sharron says
IDEA ME- I made a previous hall closet into a library we have moved again and I hope to make a better one this time.
Mary Jones says
Idea Me!!
– Most Creatively useful: Bathroom remodel organization, rather than fretting about how close the sink was to the corner, what if we got a corner sink! It worked BEAUTIFULLY!
Sarah W. says
IDEA ME!
We bought a cheapy sink/vanity combo for the “soft remodel” of our guest bath. It did not come with a backsplash, so instead of a few rows of tile behind it, I decided to tile up the entire wall behind it and hang the mirror on top of the tile.
It looks very high-end and hotel-chic. :-)
Kimberj says
Idea Me!
Seriously… what happened to Hootie Hoo Me? I was ready to see thousands of those. We took a nasty dark, dank root cellar and tiled the walls and ceiling, NatureStoned the floor and put a french door on it to make the sweetest wine cellar ever in the basement. We used cut stone tile from a recycled building supply store and bought wine racks off Craigslist for $75. Total cost: $250 Result: Looks Wicked Cool!

Angela Lee says
IDEA ME!
We purchased these awesome electrical sockets that also have USB plugs so now we can charge everything in one place. Previously, we’ve been cluttering up our computer area with USB chargers, but now we can charge everything in one place, so all the clutter is contained to one spot. It’s been the best purchase and although it’s not my invention, I still think it’s pretty awesome!
