What a night! ✨

We were so excited to open the doors of our new showroom and celebrate with the people who make this industry so special. A huge thank you to all of our industry partners, designers, builders, and friends who joined us for our B2B opening. Your support means more than we can say.

A special thank you to our amazing sponsors, @msisurfaces and @cosentinousa, for helping make the evening extra special by sponsoring our refreshments and gifts. 🎁 Of course, congratulations to all of our prize winners! 🏆 We loved celebrating with you and sending a few well-deserved surprises home.

Thank you to everyone who came, connected, celebrated, and helped us officially welcome you into our new showroom. We can’t wait to see where all the inspiration, collaboration, and creativity takes us from here. Here’s to a beautiful new chapter! 🥂

What does it take to build something that lasts?
Before we sat down to record, we walked the floor—getting closer to the materials, the process and the decisions behind the finished work.
Then we explored that question with three people who build in very different ways: Casey Cloward of @raykonconstruction through construction, @mallorybouchard through design and @heyibuiltthis through hands-on creativity.
Different disciplines. Different perspectives. The same foundation: craft, thoughtful decisions and a commitment to what remains long after the reveal.
That’s the Brick by Brick podcast—conversations with people who build with purpose.
New episodes coming soon.

New branding and website for @heyibuiltthis! Kristen brought a color palette and a vision to me, and I put it into branding and a website! This project was so fun! Kristen is such an inspiring hard worker and she’s SO talented. I love partnering with other women ( & moms! ) because we just get each other! I’m excited to follow along on her new blog and newsletter!

Accuracy is everything when it comes to a major home upgrade. We recently had @heyibuiltthis use our new Kitchen Visualizer to completely shift the dynamic of her kitchen, and even as the design evolved, the tool didn’t miss a beat. 🤩

What stood out most was how perfectly the Signature Series color and veining were rendered staying true to the actual slab while remaining incredibly mindful of the kitchen’s architecture. The Visualizer was smart enough to work seamlessly around her appliances, ensuring the flow around the oven and range looked exactly as it would in a finished install. No awkward overlaps, just a crisp, high-def preview of her future home. 🏡

Experience the most accurate design tool in the industry. Try the visualizer today and find your perfect Signature Series match! 📲

😭🥹 I truly just can’t believe it.
If you would have told lil ol postpartum me 2 years ago I would be HERE at the @lowescreator Summit I can assure you she would have never believed you.

I lost a little bit (a big bit) of myself when I had a baby and decided to leave the classroom. And I sometimes still grapple with big feelings about leaving my job as an art teacher—waving goodbye to stability, benefits, a community of friends, co-workers, consistent pay and routine was equal parts scary and heartbreaking. I still feel the lingering grief from that version of myself and how confident she was. But taking a chance on myself—my creativity, my quiet passion for learning a new skillset— and then publicly putting myself out there to be either interesting?? inspiring?? or cringe was definitely more scary 😅

And now there are over 100,000 of you are here and I honestly can’t believe it 🤯
I’m just so grateful for the opportunity to share my life with you and be accepted by so many of you as I learn, grow, and continue to create within the walls of my favorite place with my favorite people. I feel so lucky.

From the bottom of my heart: Thank you for being part of this little corner of the internet. Without you I wouldn’t be able to chase these wild dreams or do ANY of this😭
Thank you @loweshomeimprovement and @lowescreator for the most unforgettable experience and trip of a lifetime! ✨💙🔨💪🏻 #lowescreatorsummit2026 #lowescreator
