My best DIY idea was when I was desperate not to pay a plumber to unclog my kitchen sink- I googled solutions, and tried dumping some baking soda down the hole, followed by some white vinegar- i wasn’t sure if it would work since I already had water sitting in the sink, but within 24 hrs, it was unclogged! :)

Removing some kitchen cabinet doors and creating open shelving is probably one of my better ideas around the house.

I planted sunflowers with my pole beans, so the beans would climb the sunflowers. Which they did. But I didn’t anticipate them growing so TALL!

IDEA ME! I so know the dog and crumbs around the kitchen! Our little Jack Russell’s nickname is Hoover. Most times she beats me to whatever I’ve dropped. Had some tug of war as well over stuff she shouldn’t eat.

IDEA ME
The disco/confetti/glitter nail polishes that were trendy this year run so expensive! They are around $7! That is too expensive for me for some nail polish! So I bought some glitter for about $2 and added it to some glittery (but not enough)nail polish I bought from CVS for $1. It turned out to be perfect! No different from the expensive nail polish (I tried my friend’s).I save over 50%!

Well, today it was changing the lightbulb which made the outdoor light work – you know, the one my husnad said hasn’t been working for about 7 years!

Anne G. says
IDEA ME! Wow, I am so excited for the chance to win this! I love Lowe’s and their ideas are definitely getting my creative juices flowing! Best creative moment I’ve had so far? I would have to say it’s the shoe/hat/glove storage compartment I designed and my husband built for our teeny tiny front entry closet. After living without storage for a year and getting a really good sense of the things we’d like to store in the front entryway, I designed a shelving system with just the right size compartments to fit just the right size baskets, and some hooks, etc. We love it and get compliments all the time. So, please pick me so I can go spend some more money at Lowe’s and tackle our office space storage problem next! Love you guys. Thanks!

My husband and I built a bookshelf on hinges to enclose the alcove in our 2nd story master bedroom.

Lisa @ Cozy Condo Living says

I love finding unwanted items on craigslist, garage sales, and thrift stores… giving them a little love and turning them into treasures!
I can always use more paint and supplies so the Lowes card would be great! :)

Rachael @ Fresh Squeezed Home says
IDEA ME!
My creative idea was a really simple concept. While thinking about how to redo our mudroom/laundry room. I though why don’t we build a closet (genius I know). Then we can move our coats etc. from the upstairs closet and make that closet a pantry. Then we can reorganize the kitchen cabinets and actually have enough room for all our stuff! Yay! simple but amazing! We start renovating in 2 weeks yay!

IDEA ME!
When we remodeled the upstairs bedroom in our last home, we had to tear out the half-wall of sheetrock on one side of the stairs for some reason. At first we were going to build a nifty railing modelled after the one in the insurance office (of all places) in “Double Indemnity”. But one day I was thinking that we also needed somewhere for shoes, and thought an IKEA “Billy” turned on its side would be perfect—right size, right height! So that’s what we did. We anchored it down, built shelves to go across horizontally, drywalled the back and painted it, then I made “curtains” for the front out of a new dropcloth. Worked like a charm!
