Lowe's has replaced Home Depot for me. I love that Lowe's is bright, airy, wide open, not cluttered, and has a super helpful staff. I recently bought a new home and found the best lighting options here, for my kitchen. I don't know about the tools, and pieces parts that guys look for, but they seem to have everything that Home Depot does. I'm much more comfortable being a woman, at Lowe's. There's something intimidating at Home Depot, and I can never find what I'm looking for. Prices are very reasonable of not only pennies more than Home Depot. I'm looking forward to spring time for a few home projects, and Lowe's will be my go to place!
