11 - Lowe's Creative Ideas

Mom passed on another design treat from the mailbox, Lowe's Creative Ideas' For Home and Garden (July/August 2010) issue. Being frequent shoppers at Lowe's as well as Home Depot, they receive additional design ideas by post and e-mail. Without a home to call my own, I very rarely step foot in the larger home design shops. Actually, I don't even know where the Lowes or HD would be near where I live in New York.


Highlights From This Issue:

• Summer Centerpiece ("What a Great Idea!"): I really should find a section of wood before I go, so I can take advantage of Daddy's power tool arsenal.
• Decal Decor: I have already been kicking this idea around, but I love how it can be used to tie a piece of furniture and the wall behind it together. I will need to figure out which ones from Etsy would do the job best.
• Outside Party Pad: I would love to find a bistro set that I could take outside to set up and enjoy the pretty trees outside my windows. Also, I think I could swing a pass through window if I remove my screen. 
• TV Faux Wall: If I can wallpaper or paint a wall, I could always build my own. Never thought about that. I don't think fastening the cleats will make that big of an impact (and they should be easily patched afterward.

I am going to go over their other WAGIs later. Also, I want to check out HD and see if they have ideas as well. Time for some port-World Cup relaxation.
