Lowe's Magazine

Posted by Kristin Abraham Nov 27, 2007

I am not a big magazine reader, in fact I am so behind in my TV Guides that some of the featured programs are off the air. So when I sign up for or order a magazine I want to be sure it's something that I'm going to read. The Lowe's Creative Ideas magazine does not disappoint.

The first magazine I received surprised the heck out of me. It's a very attractive magazine with full color and glossy pages. It's got 80 pages of information and I really think most of it is good. There is a great article that gives you tips for organizing your entryway and making it more functional, with several how-to tips. There is also a good story about updating a bathroom to fit your budget, the re-dos aren't really shocking, but they're structurally impressive. The article about a classic kitchen claims that it will last, but I don't necessarily agree with this as kitchen trends change very frequently.

I'm particularly fond of the article that shows you how to make a moulding ledge. This is something I've wanted to do for quite a while but I wasn't exactly sure how to do it. Now, I know and I'll be doing it this winter some time. I sure hope they do an article on creating your own window vallance soon, that's on my project list too.

I really recommend signing up for the Lowe's Creative Ideas magazine at www.lowescreativeideas.com, it's got a lot of great information for the how-to home decorator, the website is also full of great information.
