Raise your hand if you want a $50 Lowe’s gift card.

The best idea I ever had was subscribing to amazing home-related blogs. Borrowing other people’s genious ideas? Way better than anything I could come up with on my own! (Thanks for sponsoring a great giveaway!)
Holly says
Idea me! Frame arrangements in our home!
Lyndsey says

Jen H. says
IDEA ME!
Our most creative project yet? Probably our whole kitchen? It’s a fairly large custom set up with all kinds of eco-friendly tricks like rerouting our kitchen sink water out to the garden!

IDEA ME!! I’m hoping to do something creative and add some overhead lighting into our sky high loft.
Theresa says
IDEA ME!
I had to find an easy solution for storing baby wipes and diapers in our eleven month old’s nursery since she can now get into EVERYTHING. So, I cleared out a drawer in her dresser and put all the changing stuff in there since her changing pad rests on top of her dresser. It has worked out fabulous and I love not having to wrangle the baby wipes container from her little hands.

IDEA ME!
I found a large ornate picture frame at a thrift store. I threw out the super ugly painting in the middle and just hung the empty frame as art itself. For Christmas, I tied a red ribbon inside the frame and clipped cards to it!
Jennifer says
IDEA ME!!!!!!!!
Crystal says
Idea Me! My most creative idea was using ordinary pyrex dishes (the smallest ones) for organizing jewelry in my dresser.

lisa says
IDEA ME! I have yet to have a really creative moment..that’s why i read young house love posts. heehee.
Abby says
IDEA ME!! I love pottery barn but they are on the pricier side so I look through the magazine for ideas and try to recreate them myself! It’s much cheaper and I enjoy doing it :)

Shannon Srb says
IDEA ME!
I actually painted my own art for our bedroom because I’m cheap and didn’t want to spend the $ on expensive art. It turned out really awesome and I’ll probably keep it forever so my grandkid’s grandkids can say “Whoa, this has been in the family forever”.
Britni says

Elyse says
IDEA ME!!!
My favorite project is actually still a work in progress — I’m making a vintage train station inspired sign for my son Graham’s room, using reclaimed pallet slabs. It’s in the garage, awaiting the final pass with a sanding block, and I’m already in love with his “Graham Central Station” sign :-)
Elaine says

Michelle says

I use a golf ball display case to display my collection of shot glasses from different countries.
Stacey says

Tami says
IDEA ME … I’m turning my blog into baby books for my kids!
Gail says
IDEA ME!
My most creative idea was when I used two different spray paints to create a crackle finish on an old wooden chair.Then I painted a birds nest on it. It ended up being featured in a national country magazine as their main project!
Sarah in Indiana says
Idea me! I had a creative moment recently when watching a Dawn commercial. It occurred to me that if it’s designed to break up grease, it would get grease stains out of clothes. And it does! Any old cheap dish soap will get out oil stains. Just saturate the stains and and wash.
Amy says
IDEA ME!
I painted an old nightstand yellow.
Tiffany says
IDEA ME!
This may not be the most creative idea ever, but my fiance and I got engaged and closed on our first house on the same day, so I just recently framed some really cute engagement and house-warming cards from friends and family to hang on one of the walls in our kitchen. They’re colorful and meaningful and I love them!
Aimee says

My usual creativity involves seeing a project I love and tweaking it for my own use. Following where the inspiration leads!
Kari says

Stephanie says
IDEA ME!
I created unique rubber stamps out of Magic Erasers and sculpting tools!
Ruth B. says
IDEA ME! I’m very creative in how often I steal others ideas!
Cristy says
IDEA ME!
My best idea (that I can think of at this moment) is to freeze my daughters juice boxes for their lunchboxes. It defrosts through the morning but keeps the turkey sandwiches cool.
Stephanie B says
Idea me!
I’m all about using leftovers creatively to make new meals!
