JOSS ME!
My luckiest home improvement moment was when we had to get our beloved first house ready to sell due to a quick employment change, and my husband walked the first potential owners through the house and they made an offer immediately! 4 days on the market!

JOSS ME!!!!!!!!!!
I got my house on the best/luckiest deal ever!! It was on a foreclosure auction, and it was my dream one…and I was outbid :(
Then the auction guy runs over to us and says they didn’t realize what they bid and I win! $50 a square foot, brand spanking new! Dream come true for me and my son!
Now working on the decorating…$500 would go a LONG WAY!!!

My luckiest home improvement moment was when my parents moved and gave me the antique mirror I’d always admired from our living room!
Andrea says
JOSS ME!
Unfortunately we haven’t had to much luck (at least the good kind) in our home improvement endeavors. Tear.

Joss me!!
Our luckiest moment was all of the cheap “oops” paint in the perfect colors we scored at Lowes!
Sharee A. says
JOSS ME! Hands-down being able to take advantage of that $8K first-time home buyers tax credit. Thanks Uncle Sam. T’was a much needed (and appreciated) Godsend.

Joss me! My luckiest moment was when my dad had time to come up for a month and help us remodel our kitchen. Every day I love it all over again.
Bethany says
“JOSS ME!”
We just moved into a new place and had a dining room but no dining room table. A good friend of mine also moved into a new place with a dining table but no dining room. We now have a fully furnished dining room that didn’t cost us a penny (until she moves again anyway!)

My lucky home moment was a long shot. My husband and I were selling our condo and looking for a townhouse. There was nothing on the market that suited us (space and price) and we had to be out of our condo in 6 weeks. We dropped fliers in our targetted complex hoping to find someone who wanted to sell, but hadn’t listed yet. We got a call two days later and ended up doing a private sale and saved tens of thousands ( the unit next door sold for $40,000 more within the next few months) and we got possession on the day we had to leave our condo! We love our new spacious home and when we replaced the fridge last month, two magnets fell out from behind… a J and S. My husbands initials. They are on our fridge right now. Luck? Or just meant to be?

JOSS ME!
I love the fact that the new house we just built had the perfect dining room for the table that my grandfather made my grandmother!
Jessi says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest house moment was NOT having our offer accepted on my dream fixer-upper right before the economy tanked. We would have been up to our ears in renovation debts, and living with a halted renovation for a whileee. I’ll pick stress-free life in our modest ranch than struggling in a stripped-to-the-studs manse any day of the week!
Ranelle says
Joss Me!
Hmm…buying some curtains on a whim for my living room that I love!
Lacey says
JOSS ME!

My luckiest moment was just last week :-) I scored a Drexel antique, solid mahogany dresser for FREE! As the guy was helping us load it he joked that if we decided we hated it later, we could always sell it because it’s probably worth something. No joke. It’s worth $1000.

Joss Me! (Us!)
Luckiest design find? A $75 Magnavox “Buffet” Record Player in perfect condition…it literally is the coolest vintage room piece, and even lets us hook our iPods up to it! How many other people have buffets that can blast Feist at dinner parties?
Sarah says
JOSS ME!!
Planning to redo my kitchen this year. Luckiest thing that happened was finding the repin that Sherry had made of the lime green kitchen, black counter tops, white cabinets. I had struggled and struggled over what I wanted. When I saw that kitchen, I KNEW that was what I wanted to do with my kitchen!!
Now to get it done!
Meaghan says
JOSS ME! Our luckiest home related event was stumbling upon an awesome house graciously rented to us for the same amount we were paying for our teeny-tiny apartment – all before we found out we’re pregnant with our first baby! Looking forward to bringing our little one home to a real family home :) Due in January <3

BONUS QUESTION: I’d have to think about luckiest EVER but luckiest this weekend was when I was at World Market and decided to check out their roman shades. The one I wanted didn’t have a price and was the only one left. The rest were $49 so I assumed this one was too…but when I asked?? The one I wanted was only $9! I wasn’t sure if it would fit but couldn’t pass up the deal. I brought it home and it’s the perfect size. Feeling lucky!
Kate says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest moment was getting a great deal on our first house… sad for the person who lost the house, but happy we get to bring it back to life!
Amanda says
JOSS ME PLEASE!
Mic L. says
My luckiest home moment was the recent apartment I just signed a lease on! We had Realtor appointments all day but nothing was hitting the spot. We happened to drive by, saw a sign, and then signed the lease within 24 hours!
Kim says
JOSS ME!!
Our luckiest moments was finding our perfect house- only because the house we originally wanted (that we THOUGHT was perfect for us) was snatched up right before we could put an offer. Not only do we LOVE this house much more, but we have the best neighbors who are seriously like family to us. We feel lucky to have this home!
kelley says
JOSS ME!!! Winning this would be my luckiest home design related thing!!! Cross your fingers for me!!!
JenH says
JOSS ME. While I wouldn’t call it our dream house, hubby and I were super blessed to hit the jackpot on the first house we ever looked at. At age 22, our relator said “I can’t let you buy the first house you see,” but we so did and it was a great starter home!
Nifty Amy says
Joss ME! (please!!)
Megan says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest home decorating moment was finding a huge set of matching picture frames at a thrift shop. for $10.
Emily says
joss me!! my luckiest moment was when the hubby and I put in an offer on a house that we “liked” but mostly were exhausted from house shopping, then the same day found our current house and completely fell in love with it! what’s ironic is when we first started dating we used to go down to the lake right down the street from where we bought the house. i think fate had something to do with it?!
Nifty Amy says
Lucky moment…let’s see. Having a house decorate sounds lucky enough to me! Thankful for a roof over my head:)
Sophia says
JOSS ME!!!
I scored when I found the $50 per yard curtain fabric I’d been lusting after for months in the clearance bin for $4 per yard at my local Jo-Anns!
Jessica says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest home improvement? Hmmm…I’m not sure it could really be counted as an IMPROVEMENT, per se, but I was pretty stoked to find a ginormous cat tree in the dumpster once. Yes, I actually dragged it out of the dumpster. It’s not necessarily an eyesore, but it’s certainly not adding anything to the decor.
Kris Schneider says
JOSS ME!
Luckiest moment of the past weekend – getting a vintage double tier coffee table at a salvage store for $10 because the owner accidentally broke off a little piece (that my husband can easily fix).
Elizabeth says
Joss ME!!!
Favorite DIY moment: the fabulous wooden chair that forlornly sat by the side of the road that I rehab-ed and now everyone remarks on!
Charissa says
JOSS ME!!!
Becca says
Joss me! Finding our beautiful apartment in SF from across the country in Ann Arbor!
ErinY says
Joss me!!
My lucky moment came when looking for a coffee table for my living room. I actually still rent, but living in an apartment comes with it’s own set of challenges! The biggest one (which many have in houses as well) is storage! During my furniture search I scored an awesome coffee table from West Elm that slides open to reveal a great space for storing pillows and blankets I use for my sleeper sofa!

Sarah says
JOSS ME!!!
I am moving into my first apartment on my own in a few weeks!!! I am looking to your blog to help me decorate and organize everything, so I guess finding your blog has been my best luck so far. :)
Amber says
JOSS ME!! OMG this prize is NUTS! My luckiest and happiest home improvement is the boxwood I just planted! I love those little balls of bushiness.
Anna B. says
JOSS ME!!! My best luck EVER was finding a killer cool vintage Bassett dresser for only $10 at a yard sale in PRISTINE condition!
Lauren says
JOSS ME!
Our luckiest (although I’m sure it wasn’t luck) house moment was when we found our first house together! After weeks, we had given up.. when a random 3am realtor.com search found our 100 year old dream!! and now we’d love to try to fill it up with beautiful treasures*
