Mmm, free creative ideas

I know I've talked up Lowe's before - but I absolutely love that they provide FREE subscriptions to their Creative Ideas Magazine. I know this type of thing usually acts as an advertisement, but while they will list the paint colors they use and size boards or screws, etc, they never force it on you. For color-matching though, you can't beat people telling you exactly what they used!

What really pulled me in is this image I cut out of the September 2008 issues of Travel and Leisure magazine. I am immediately drawn to beautiful outdoor spaces that feel like an extension of your home, and this hanging bed in India was the perfect example of this blend for me. There is a very easy, do-it-yourself version right on the cover of their summer edition. I love coming across unique DIY like this one. If you go now to the link and look at the Home and Garden mag. you can read the pdf. file of this. But I really suggest signing up for the mailed version. It's full of great ideas that won't be deleted after a short period of time. ;)
