Lowe’s Creative Ideas

Fall is here! It’s here! If my excitement doesn’t come through in my typing, let me assure you that this is exciting stuff. I love Fall for so many reasons – the crisp air, the gorgeous red and yellow leaves, the new flowers blooming (here in California at least!), and I really get in the baking mood. This year, I will also be decorating our new semi-enclosed patio, and I know just the place to help me…Lowe’s!

If you get inspired by Fall, as I do, I have some exciting news for you. Lowe’s Creative Ideas Magazine is something you don’t want to miss.  For inspiration, DIY help, or just to get your creative juices flowing, you can find all kinds of helpful information in each and every issue.  The best part?  It is completely free!

Whether you are planning on sprucing up the backyard, remodeling the inside of your house, or just redecorating, you will find a wealth of information from Lowe’s Creative Ideas.  In addition to the magazine, there is a handy website right at your fingertips (literally!).  Since my husband has begun to work on our semi-enclosed porch, it’s time for me to start thinking about how I want to decorate that area once it is complete.  I know I want plants and maybe some wicker furniture with cushions, but I can really use some help with further ideas.  On the Lowe’s Creative Ideas website, I found a great article (with video even), on how to make a Tiered Terra Cotta Tower.

This would really brighten up my “new” space, and the instructions look really easy to follow.

Here is our area outdoors that we are working on:

This is the video I will be referring to when I create mine!

We also have some plans for some indoor renovations as well.  I am so excited about this information from Lowe’s and I have a feeling we will be BFF’s by the time my projects are complete.  On a side note – we just had a new screen/glass door installed on our front door.  We  ordered it from Lowe’s and we couldn’t be happier.  From start to finish (ordering to installation), it was a really pleasant experience.  My kitties are enjoying it too, as they can now look out to the front yard.

How about you? do you have any plans to work on your home or yard this Fall?  Well, to help you get started, I have a giveaway for you!

  3. When I had kids at home, I used to keep sets of decorations for different times of the year. Now that it’s just Hubs and me, I have handed many things down to the kids, and we just mark the seasons with a wreath on the door,

  7. I go all out for Halloween. The entire house has halloween stuff all over. I have a halloween village set up. For trick or treat night, I have ghosts in the windows, pumpkins all over, and bones and graveyards.

  8. I have a very small apt so I can’t do a lot, but I switch out the entry mat, curtains, and door wreath.

  9. When we decorate for Halloween we don’t do anything too scary. We decorate the front porch with pumpkins, squash, hay bales and corn stalks, and place some orange lights in our bay window. My husband has a big bat and a strobe light for in the foyer.

  14. Halloween is my favorite holiday! So i go all out.. inside anyway. I don’t do any outside.

  15. I am a pretty low key decorator for Halloween and fall in general. We have a pumpkin on the porch and some fall flowers planted, but otherwise the only changes I’ve made are to trade out candles for fall scents/colors. A lot more energy goes into decorating for Christmas for us.

  16. We don’t usually decorate for Fall. I have a Halloween candle that I put out every year and that’s about the extent of it. I do however go full force with Christmas decorations.

  17. I have carved pumpkins on the front steps, gourds on the table, hay bails and haystacks out by the light at the end of our driveway!

  19. I don’t do a whole lot, but do like to put out Halloween themed hand soaps, decorations, and candles.

  20. i decorate my hose by setting out plastic pumpkins and a few little halloween ornaments and a fall flag!

  21. I have some light up jack-o-lanterns inside the house, along with a ghost that hangs from the ceiling, and a lighted haunted house. Outside on the front porch, I have pumpkins and mums.

  22. I don’t really decorate at all. Maybe flowers inside the house but not outside.

    lkish77123 at gmail dot com

  23. This year the boys got to decorate their rooms with “woody and buzz” pumpkins- they are cute little head, arms, and legs you stick into the pumpkin. They loved it, and makes them feel part of the decoration.

  36. Follow Lowe’s on Twitter (and facebook – forgot to say follow on comment above – oops) flairshare

  37. For my Halloween decor, I put out pumpkins and carve them the week of, as it can be hot here and it ruins pretty fast. I put out ghosts in the yard. We just moved and I am starting over, so that is it at this time in my life.

  38. We don’t do much in the fall/Halloween, just a couple of pumpkins. My son wants a werewolf with vampire teeth this year. Still trying to figure out how to do that!

  39. i have little orange lights in a tree, a big witch and pumpkins by the door, mums on the steps, and wooden black cats, scarecrows, pumpkins and ghosts in the yard.

  40. We really haven’t done anything this year – too busy doing lots of other activities. When we’ve decorated in the past, it’s been simple – a scarecrow, some fall colors, perhaps decorate the fireplace w/ candles, leaves, and a cornucopia. We definitely don’t go all out, but this year we just haven’t bothered because we’re busy. Maybe we’ll decorate a bit more in November, but it’s hard to say right now.

  41. we decorate with lots of orange pumpkin-scented candles and carve a pumpkin

  44. We usually decorate outside with pumpkins, gourds, bales of hay, and wreaths/garlands made of dried leaves, and during Halloween we usually decorate the house to go with one of our favorite scary movies (this year it’s “Psycho” and we made our house into the “Bates Motel”). Thanks!

  45. one thing we have for the fall is some nicely scented potpourri. we don’t do a ton these days because everyone is mostly older. but candles and the like are always being switched out to fit the holiday.

  46. I had a Halloween wedding 13 years ago. I use many of the decoration from the wedding. It reminds me of our special day!

  59. I decorate for halloween by putting that fake spider web stuff on my porch and putting fake spiders on it.

  84. I love to decorate for fall and go all out with Halloween and harvest decorations both inside and outside. I put my fall decorations up right after Labor Day.

  85. We don’t normally decorate the outside of our house because we live in the country, on a curvy road and it would distract the people driving by.

  87. We put up pumpkins and put out a pumpkin flag, then a cornucopia flag at Thanksgiving time.

  100. We usually buy the themed decorations. Halloween is all the fun stuff- pumpkins, bats, ghosts, and goblins. As soon as Halloween is over, up goes the turkeys, leaves, and acorns.

As you walk up the sidewalk towards the front door, you will see a small fall garden flag with a bunch of potted flowers and plants…some leftovers still in good shape from summer and some are new additions for fall. The These plants are at the bottom of the steps where you will turn right leading up to the front door. We have a few more mums on the left side of the steps and at the top steps are a couple of large pumpkins with a welcoming scarecrow seated next to them. On the front door is a fall inspired wreath with faux berries. And to the right of the door, as always, is our American Flag. That completes my fall decorating. :o)

  127. We don’t decorate as much as we use to – we still set mums out..and I gather acorns and pretty leaves and lay them on the end tables as a decoration.
