My most creative idea was when I created a trivia game for the kids in my church. They loved it!!

I can’t wait to be out of an apartment and into a home, to put to use some of my non-apt ideas. Nonetheless, a gift card would be great for our apartment too!

IDEA ME!
or, hootie hoo! Either way…
I was JUST perusing the Lowe’s website because I have an awesome project in mind for their 2’x3′ sheet metal. I don’t want to spill all the details in case I actually do it and/or win… but it’s awesome! I can’t wait to blog about it :P

When I moved into my college dorm I put my bed on pretty hardwood loft and created a little living space underneath complete with a chaise, chandelier, side table, and hanging art. It was a creative use of space and passersby used to pop into my room just to check it out!
DeAnn says

I constantly shop around for a good deal, and when I find one, I love it when I can modify it to LOOK LIKE the $$$$ item I really had my eye on!

IDEA ME!
sanding, staining, and painting wall art for my room. costing under $20 per piece instead of using expensive canvases.
robin says
IDEA ME!
gosh! i think of little fixes all the time to make life easier, but none of them earth shattering. Something I just started doing that helps me get my little ones utencils with me clean is putting them in a tooth brush holder. now i dont have to wrap the ends with a napkin for travel.

I’m turning a 1970’s blueprint drawer set into a coffee table. We’re purchasing our first home and have a family member who works at a thrift store!! Match made in heaven, our theme is def going to be vintage chic.

While Renovating our first home, we were on a
Very tight budget and didn’t have the money to rent a dumpster
For all of that fun trash that comes with renovating. We were left with some really ugly faux pickled oak (or fau-oak as we call it) paneling stripped down from the walls in the living room.
We wanted add beadboard to the bathroom and after looking at the cost decided to nix it. One day, I had a brilliant idea. We cut down the paneling to four foot sections and primed and painted it. Nike only did we get to put up beadboard in the bathroom, we solved the problem what to do with the 8 foot sheets of paneling that the garbageman wouldn’t take. And we got to repurpose something that would have ended up in a landfill!

The greatest idea I’ve had yet is to “combine” my vegetarian lasagna with my more classic Italian Sausage lasagna. I just added chopped spinach to it and it is the most dense, fulfilling dish!
Callie says
IDEA ME!
One of my creative idea was using a canvas to cover an unsightly electrical nook. Paint that sucker and instant art.
Nikki says

IDEA ME, pahlease!! I am not creative AT ALL, so pinterest is my besty! I guess my fav thing of the moment is that I’m storing tp for the guest bath in a pretty seed glass pillar hurricane. Functional and pretty cute :)

I am most creative when I am in the kitchen. I love to cook.
Meghan says
IDEA ME!
I have a bunch of things I want to write down but I guess I’ll name one. I bought 3 wooden mirror frames from IKEA, bought small square tiles from Home Depot, some sticky stuff, and went to town! Now I have 3 beautiful tiled mirrors in my foyer- everyone can see them when they come in! And I can double check my mascara before I go out :)
Amanda says
IDEA ME!
I’m not very creative in that way, sad to say…
Marney says
“IDEA ME”
Wow, my most creative idea. I honestly have no idea. I suppose recently my most creative idea was to use duct tape to secure the doorknob safety cover onto my toddlers door so he would quit removing it and then escaping from his room during naps and bedtime.

I was able to utilize some thumbtacks to hang my necklaces in my closet :)
Shevon says
IDEA ME!
The first thing I think of since fall is almost here. I took a craft store fake pumpkin, cut the whole top off, drilled some holes in the bottom, and planted some mums in it. I have used real pumpkins (small ones) filled with flowers for centerpieces at Thanksgiving before, too.

Asking our family and friends to illustrate a letter for our baby’s room. Now he has his own personalized alphabet set/ custom art!

Roshni says

My latest idea was to buy my son a fishing tackle box to store all his Bey Blades instead of getting the actual Bey Blade storage box… which was identical but cost $10 more!
Maureen says
Idea me! My most recent creative idea was using a glue stick for a play-doh roller and stamper. :)
Rachel says
IDEA Me!! Please!

We had a kiddie pool on our backyard this summer and the kids kept tracking grass in it. I cut the feet part of a pair of pantyhose and pulled it over a badminton racket to use to skim the leaves out

Most creative idea was using an IKEA closet organizer as a room divider!

Please, IDEA ME!!! (Yes, I have plenty of my own, but help in the form of funding is always welcome.) ;-}
Mary says
Idea Me!
I know I have creative/simple ideas fairly often (I say, “Oo! What if we…” a lot) but I have a horrible memory and can’t think of a single example.
Which is why I love Pinterest. I may not be able to remember my own ideas, but I at least now I can keep track of the ones I want to copy from other people! :-)
Camille says
IDEA ME!!
Oh man, I’m still loving my home-made wreaths… took some creativity to make, but they are a great conversation piece, and I saved lots of money making them!
Stephanie says
Idea me!! Probably the best idea I’ve acted on in the past year or so was making my own laundry detergent – it’s dirt cheap and works just as well if not better than commercial detergents (my husband’s socks all look whiter than they used to).
Kimberly says
IDEA ME!
I’m in the process of trying to make ideas a reality for our nursery…
Janet O'Neil says
IDEA ME!!
Couldn’t find a hook to hang towels in my redo bathroom. Fould a clearance section with hooks and other decor. Fould a hook in the right color and shape. Next to it was a decorative item of a door knob plate with a loose glass knob. Got both, removed the glass knobe and glued the hook to the plate. Both were in the accent colors I was using. Hung and in use now and I like it. Looks like it came from Antropogy and cost less than $10.

My most recent ingenious idea is the bedroom curtains dilemma. I didn’t want to spend an arm and a leg buying curtains, especially when I wanted plain white. So I just bought $5 twin sized flat sheets and attached to curtain clips! Brilliant! I spent less on curtains than I did on the curtain rod!
