I don’t think I’ve really had a lucky home improvement moment yet… maybe this will be it??

I wanted some really cute apple green chairs for my office but they were $50 for a pair and I didn’t want to spend that much on my office. I went in the next week and since they were the last ones and on sale, I got them for $10 for the pair!!
Abby K says
JOSS ME!
I mean really, do it! :) I love Joss & Main and can only imagine what I’d do with $500!!!
Luckiest – Jossiest – moment would be finding my favorite chair that was being sold by a photographer because they were going out of business! A vintage hot pink slipper chair for $25! Love it!
Lauren says
JOSS ME!
I just moved into a new spot and would love to spruce it up RIGHT!
Jennifer says
JOSS ME!!! It could be just in time….I’m going to need decorating $$ if we are going to rewire a house!!

Turned worn and ugly the deck boards over and they were perfect on the bottom.

One of my luckiest things was seeing an antique rocker in the back of this junk store. The rocker had fallen off the truck when moving and was busted up pretty bad. A closer look revealed that the rocker was a match to my grandmother’s antique living room set. When I asked the people who had it how much it was…they gave it to me for free! Score!
Kady says
Joss Me!
Getting my dream home last year and sharing it with my Sam. We can’t wait to start our family here. :-)
Catherine says
Joss ME!!!
I scored some luck after complaining about how to hang pics down my blah hallway, my boyfriend got a FREE gallery track system that he was getting paid to remove and toss out! It looks great and I can adjust it anytime I add a new picture. Did I mention it was FREE!
Kristen says
JOSS ME! My luckiest home moment so far was when my husband and I found the original blue prints for our home in a closet. The house was built in 1956, so the blue prints are the old timey kind that are actually blue. So neat! We’re planning to frame them and hang them up somewhere.
Katie says
Joss Me!
Our luckiest moment was when the kitchen was being renovated and we discovered a gorgeous brick chimney hiding behind drywall. The perfect character piece to pull the room together. Love it!
Lindsey Rivir says
Joss Me!
We just built a new home and moved in 3 weeks ago. I am loving decorating our perfect new house.
Stephanie says
Joss me! My luckiest moment — I was totally obsessed with this furniture piece owned by my husband’s grandmother — it looks like a buffet but pulls out to a dining room table that seats 10+ and all of the leaves store within the buffet. I have never once seen one for sale. anywhere. One day, I stumbled upon a similar one on craigslist for $75 and I think my jaw dropped open. I emailed my husband telling him I had to have it. He said “get in the car.” I thought he was joking (because we were on a pretty tight budget) but he was just as serious as I was about scoring this coveted piece of furniture! We ended up driving nearly thrity minutes into the backwoods, fearing it was some sort of craigslist killer scam — but we stayed focused. The lady who sold it to us was super sweet – but I knew we shouldn’t have asked what the “cages” in her back yard were for…she casually explained that she raises jaguars for a living. Seriously?!? We quickly handed her the money and went on our merry way! Now we have a sweet piece of furniture and a sweet story to go along with it.

JOSS ME!!!
The luckiest home find that comes to mind was scoring a Rhythm Motion Clock at Goodwill for $7. (I have a collection of odd and unusual clocks) Brought it home and cleaned it up (it was super gross!!) and it WORKED!!! woo hoo!

Well, our home projects usually feel like bad luck. However, during my recent kitchen revamp, I found two pieces of very affordable wall art in the exact color palette I wanted, in the exact size/shape I wanted for my wall spaces.
And if that wasn’t lucky enough – my husband actually liked them, too. Phew!
Crystal (theweekendhomemaker.com) says
“JOSS ME!” I always thought it was pretty ironic/lucky that we viewed our current home for the first time on Valentine’s Day and the street name is Lovett Circle (pronounced ‘Love it”). Kind of corny but we said we love it on Lovett on Valentine’s Day.
Kathryn says
Joss Me!
My luckiest moments have been small amazing deals, but I’m hoping one day it will involve my brother-in-law building us a beautiful home.

Luckiest moment – selling our house within 24 hrs of it being on the market and buying our dream house the next day!
BrassyDel says
JOSS ME!
But i’m still waiting for my lucky home improvement strike…
MommaFoo says
Joss me! Luckiest house moment was when we found our current house for sale by owner. We were also selling our townhouse ourselves but when I saw our house we wanted I thought there was no way we could afford to buy it. We did a quick drive by and I called from the corner, just to check on the asking price. Low and behold it was in our price range and we asked for look see and gave an offer on the spot. End of story!
Valerie says
JOSS ME! My luckiest moment was when I found my amazing vintage couch, with original mid-century upholstery in fabulous condition, for under $150 at a consignment shop. Still thanking my lucky stars!
Tara says
JOSS ME!! I found the most amazing bar stools at a white elephant sale…3 for $150. They look like vintage ice cream shop stools. Love them! Unfortunately, they are staying at a friends house now because our current home doesn’t have the room :(
Lynne says

Michelle says

Our luckiest moment was probably scoring our house for the price we offered on the short sale…although it took us months to get the answer, we scored a major bargain!
Sam says
Joss Me!
We were lucky to move in next-door to a generous with his time master carpenter!
Mckayla says
JOSS ME…
Finding our current house the day it went on the market, and having the sellers accept our offer.
M says
JOSS ME!
We lucked out when we finally sold our previous home after over a year (seriously – it was practically a miracle that it sold and we tell our realtor that we love him every time we see him) and were able to buy a great house that had sat on the market for months and the price had been significantly lowered.
Susan M says
JOSS ME! The luckiest thing I found was a blue lamp that I am in love with on clearance…15 bucks! And it’s amazing!
Allison says
JOSS ME !!!
having a handy fiancee :)
Mandy says
JOSS ME!!!
We stumbled upon our dream house (and first house!) the first day it went on the market, AND it was a foreclosure! It was a ridiculously good find, we would never have been able to afford it at market value, and we somehow lucked out with the perfect house to start as newlyweds!
Ali says
Joss ME!!!
My luckiest “house moment” was when my sister moved and left horribleee wrought iron gaudy end tables behind. I was able to spray paint them chrome and now they go perfectly with my purple bauhaus couches. Not bad for a starving college student :)
sara says
“JOSS ME!”
Would love a chance to pick some new things for the house!
Daniel says
JOSS ME!
Tori says
JOSS ME!
Many favorite pieces of furniture are ones I inherited from my folks. If I waited long enough, they eventually replace it with something new. And guess who’s there, waiting to give it a happy, grateful new home… :)
Jen says
Our luckiest moment was getting the totally perfect rental house. Even though there were multiple couples after it, the owners liked us and let us have it!
Lizeth says
Joss Me!!! My luckiest moment was discovering this blog while looking for ideas for my daughter’s room… I painted her room blue peacock, like your guest room… I (we) love it!!!
Kelly says
Joss Me!!
My Joss was my apt!!!
<3 KC
kathleen says

Having a room full of teak flooring come our way for nothing – other than moving it to our house. Fabulous!
Claire says
Joss Me!
My recent lucky moment was finding a new couch online the week before Memorial Day weekend. We went in to the store that weekend to buy it in person and it was on all kinds of sale!
Jenny says
JOSS ME!!
Chelsea S says
JOSS ME!!!
My fiance is moving into the house I grew up in. My mom bought a new house and is renting us the old one, fully furnished for the CHEAP! That will give us all the extra cash we need to really fix ‘er up! $500.00 would go along way with that :)
Rebecca says
JOSS ME!
I think I’m lucky when my random decorating ideas end up coming together little by little.
Nicole D says
JOSS ME! Please!
My luckiest house moment was getting our new house at an unbelievable price. It needs some TLC but we are excited!
carrie says
JOSS ME!
When we started looking for our first house, we saw one that was out of our price range by $30k… we loved it but never thought to make an offer…so 2 days went by and our realtor received a call from that owner, they wanted to know if we would make an offer for the house..so we said sure but really low balled it..they were not very happy but after negotiating because of the house needing a new roof, boiler, patio, windows, new kitchen and bath.. they took our offer. We have been there almost 4 years now and every year we have been doing 1 major home improvement and a ton of little things..So gratful for getting the house but still a ways to go to get it where we would like it to be
