Joss Me! My luckiest find lately is Pinterest. I know that sounds silly, but it is so nice to be able to define your household style by searching around the net, your computers downloads and pictures files etc, in order to create a board that is just the style you want. It is awesome to have it all in the same place and be able to categorize your decor style.

Luckiest moment was exactly what you suggested… found the perfect house the day it went on the market, bought it and moved in yesterday!!!
Stacey says
Joss me!!! Luckiest home improvement moment was inheriting a solid oak pedestal table from my great grandmother. It lived in our house when we were growing up and it was well loved…colored on, stain worn off, scratched up. My husband restored it and its beautiful. Now if only I could find some amazing chairs to go with it:)
nicole says
Joss me. Our house was our good luck! Its perfect and we love it
Shirley says
Joss Me! I scored an almost new beautiful leather couch on the cheap-cheap from a move out sale!

JOSS ME
Some families go camping, others cook big feasts or play cards. My family trades furniture! So I always have plenty of free options to furnish our home which is why our changing table is a dresser that my dad grew up with, our buffet my uncle built and so and so on.
Sara says

my luckiest find was a beautiful on-sale coffee table at Pottery Barn, which my mom bought for me because we couldn’t pass up the deal!

Our luckiest home moment was getting into our first place in Southern Cal. I looked at it hours after it went on the market, and, unbelievably, it was in our price-range & in pretty great shape relative to the others we could afford. We made an offer within hours only to be told there was a competing offer. We were thrilled when ours was accepted! I like to think it was because we met the older couple that was selling the home, and they seemed charmed by our oldest (who was then our only and was two-yrs-old)! He really turned on the charm!
Amber says
JOSS ME!!
Our lucky moment was fining our house the day it went on the market! Now we’ve spent the last 3 years making it “ours”.

Joss me! Please :)

Luckiest home moment? Buying our first house as a short sale the day before it went into foreclosure (and months of hassling and negotiating with the bank)!
ASHLEY says
JOSS ME!
My best moment was inheriting my awesome home from my grandparents. with out them i would not have a beautiful place to remodel or to call home
Kelly Hahn says
JOSS ME! I want this to be my luckiest moment!

Our luckiest moment was when we sold our house in Oct. 2010 3 weeks after we put it on the market. How did that happen? Not complaining that is for sure!

Getting the Obama rebate money was lucky!
Megan says

Our dining room table is solid wood and it was inexplicably marked down 85%, we got it for twenty bucks.
Katie says
Joss ME!
We’ve had some good luck in the as-is department of Ikea: a TV console 40% off and kitchen island 47% off, neither having any significant damage. Whoop whoop!
Lisa says
Joss Me!!!!
Jamie says
Joss me!
Getting our home in time for the $8K tax credit was amazing. A builder who fixed everything for free when a pipe burst a few months later? Even better.
MissPinkKate says
JOSS ME! We got our apartment on a fluke- it was never one we were supposed to see, the broker took us there because he was confused about which listing we responded to. And we love it!
Megan says

Our luckiest home improvement is about to happen very soon! We decided to rent our home out after a year of labor, to move onto our other house that is currently being rented (not for long) to renovate the entire house! (or most of it). It’s going to be a challange for us both as we learn the tricks of the trade and celebrate our one year anniversary of marriage! You blog will be our inspiration and help, we’re excited!

Jeri says
My luckiest moment was July 30th 2007 the day we moved into our first home. Being 40 years old it was a big milestone in my life as well as my husbands. I cherish every callus and blister I get from renovating it.
Thank you for the giveaway!

We were so lucky to find our first home. It was across the street from a home that our realtor showed us but was for sale by owner. We made some calls and got it on our own–even with 3 other pending offers! It is extremely lucky for my husband that we were able to close on the house since he PROPOSED to me in that very house after he made the offer!!

My luckiest home improvement moment was when we scored a free solid wood dining room table. It was a friend’s, and we had to drive from Virginia to North Carolina to pick it up, but it was totally worth it. It came along at just the right time!
Tara says

The seller of our home accepted our lower offer!

We got the most awesome furniture & accessories at an estate sale this past month! What a blessing!
Jen H says

My luckiest home improvement find was my husband – he is so handy! He doesn’t even roll his eyes when he hears, “Honey, what do you think about…” come out of my mouth.
denisef in c'ville va says
So two times i’ve been JOSSed! I had to sell two homes within two weeks each time I found a new “dream” home! I signed contracts on each that were contingent upon me selling my existent home with weeks. And it worked! I felt very JOSSed!
Jenny says
Joss Me!
I feel very lucky just to get to live in the house that we do. We didn’t think we could afford it at first, but it has worked out perfectly and we so love the house.
Lacey says
JOSS ME!!!
When moving into our wallpaper covered home, we were lucky enough to have the entire wall of wallpaper going up the stairway to pull off easily in one piece. This was a huge relief after the two days we spent scraping away at the layers of wallpaper in the bathroom. Life is about the simple pleasures, right? :)
Morgan says

My luckiest home moment was finding our first place. I got about midway up the stairs, looked back at my significant other & said “this is our house”. 6 months after house shopping (& countless creepy foreclosed homes) we found one that was in perfect shape (including brand new-labels & all appliances). Today makes exactly six months since we moved in, I still fall in love when I walk up those stairs :)
Shannon says
JOSS ME!!
In our house, any project is lucky if 1) the house doesn’t get filled with water 2) it gets finished within months of the proposed end date and 3) it doesn’t result in an even more expensive ‘fix’!
Emily says
JOSS ME!!! My luckiest moment was inheriting a very, very old wardrobe from my mom. Coolest piece in my home!
Michael says
JOSS ME!
don’t have much to say about this kind of luck, but here’s some awesome “apartment luck”…I just moved out of my old apartment where my wife and I had painted all the walls…aaand they had told us up front that the paint fee started at $350, so we were expecting a large “final bill”, but instead of having to pay hundreds of dollars (which seems to be common when moving out of apartment complexes), they actually wrote us a check for $60. to this day, I still don’t understand it…JOSSEY!

My boyfriend and I were looking for a place to rent together and thanks to my tireless craigslist hunting, we stumbled upon the perfect place at below market rent! Plenty of decorating stories to follow once we move in :)
Erin says
JOSS ME! I feel like a total nerd for calling this my ‘luckiest’ house moment… but I scored a BRAND NEW gas dryer at my local Habitat for Humanity Restore for $65!! I can’t wipe the smile off my face whenever I dry a load of towels.
Kelly says
JOSS ME!! …still waiting for a lucky find of the perfect house.
Christine says
JOSS ME!
My lucky find was a bottle lamp. I was inspired by you guys, filling the lamps with ornaments, etc. PB and west elm had them for $150+, I finally found a great one at home goods for $50. Score! :)
