JOSS ME!
We just moved into our own place for the first time and I lucked into the most perfect armchair in the world from my grandmother’s store. She knew I had my eye on it and she hooked us up!
Nicole S. says
JOSS ME!
We won our house in a bidding war, but still got a mega steal. This allowed us to achieve our dream – owning our own house in Chicago! If that isn’t luck, I don’t know what is.
Janie says
I saved hundreds of dollars on my fabulous sofa with my employee discount!
Bri says
Joss me!
My luckiest moment in home ownership was when we were replacing the sliding glass door and realized that there were hardwood floors under the HIDEOUS blue carpet that ran through the whole house. As soon as we were done with the doors and windows, the carpet was unceremoniously ripped out and I spent a half day pulling the staples they used to secure the padding. That was a fantastic day.
Grete says
JOSS ME! Our luckiest home-improvement-related moment was finding on Craigslist the exact Crate & Barrel coffee table we’d been eyeing the day before in the store… For a third of the price! And when we picked it up, there was a small scratch the seller hadn’t mentioned, so we got another twenty bucks knocked off the price. :)
Jay says
JOSS ME! Our luckiest moment was finding paint cans of our matching paint in the storage unit of our condo. We were able to touch up for free!
Gloria says
Joss me!
We’re lucky because we found the perfect house for us on our very first outing with our realtor, couldn’t have been easier!

Joss me!
Christine W. says
JOSS ME!
So far my greatest find was a beautiful vintage dresser for $30 at Southern Thrift!
Sarah says
Joss Me!
I was a broke college student but looking for a table for my living room. I passed by this run down house that’s a constant garage sale and found this great old end table that I bought, cleaned, sanded down and stained all for less than $30. I almost cried when I had to give it away my senior year and made sure you tell the new owner, “take good care of her”.
Dora B says
JOSS ME!
Best reno moment was coming across a Jacuzzi tub for our bathroom on clearance. It was a returned special order. No jets but that was fine with us. I love how deep it is and the kids have a blast in it.
Brianne says
JOSS ME…PLEASE!!!
I am hoping my luckiest decorating moment will be winning this giveaway :)
Amanda@reno366 says
JOSS ME
Just as you stated, we put an offer on a house the first day it was on the market, and moved in a month later! After looking and loosing a few houses we felt very lucky!
Jesica says
Joss me!
I found a white framed bulletin board being thrown away at work! yay!

Joss Me!
Carrie E says
JOSS ME!
I am working on a dresser for our bedroom. We inherited the piece from my MIL as she downsized. The dresser is an antique with great bones, but some cosmetic flaws. I am timid to paint pretty wood, but, lucky for me the dresser was already decoratively painted with cottagey vines and lattice (not exactly our style). It is in the process of getting “grayed” and I love it!
Denise says
JOSS ME!
Tami says
JOSS ME!!! We bought our current house out of foreclosure, so we had instant equity!

JOSS ME!
My most recent lucky moment was when I scored fabric for to make new curtains at $2/yd, plus I had a coupon, and there just enough for me to make 4 panels! YAY!!
MaLeisa says
JOSS me.
Please, please Joss Me. I just had a moment last week. Awesome curved dresser at Goodwill for 15 bucks, gallon of oops paint in the perfect shade of buttery yellow gold at HD for 3 bucks = entry way of my dreams. :()
Megan says
JOSS ME!!
The day I “gave up” looking for our first home, my fiance and I drove by what now is our home we are living in, which had just been put on the market. We immediately called up our realtor and put in an offer that day (along with 7 other people). A few more weeks and we found out the 1950’s bungalow was ours!!!
Nadia says
Joss Me!
My luckiest moment was being able to stay at my grandparents’ unused home for 2 years while we saved up for a new place.
Anne says
Joss me! and toss me some luck!
Bethany Kingma says
JOSS ME! :) My luckiest DIY moment? There was an oval mirror at West Elm that I was drooling over once upon a time but it was $259….and then I found a super similar one at a yard sale for only $4. Yea, $4. I have never been so happy with a bargain. :) Thanks so much for the giveaway!

Emily says
JOSS ME!!!!!
I had been looking for an entertainment stand with drawers and glass doors and hadn’t had any luck. I went to a friends house one night and she had exactly what I had been looking for and it was from Wal-Mart of all places, their Better Homes and Garden line, and it was on sale! I went that night to go get it and it’s perfect and was cheap!
Jamie says
JOSS ME!
Our luckiest home improvement find was an awesome hour glass I was lusting over for 80% off last weekend!
Jen says
JOSS ME! My luckiest moment was when I realized I could live with the color of our bedroom for awhile.
Emily says
JOSS ME! This is such an amazing giveway!!!
To be honest, I can’t think of any awesome deals, I would say I am lucky because of the people living in my home. :)
Nikki says
JOSS ME! Please, let it be me.
luckiest home item: my pups.
Jenb says
Joss Me! Our luckiest house moment was moving into a new house two days before Christmas. Sending my husband out for a tree while the movers were moving everything in. Finding all our decorations, and getting our new living room all unpacked and decorated for a perfect Christmas morning with the kids by the fireplace in our new house.
erika says
Joss Me!!!
Luckiest moment…realizing this old window I have lying around is the perfect piece to go over my bed!
Kaitlyn says
JOSS ME!!
I would love to win this one! My luckiest moment was when we finally found homes for our two monster hairy cats and could finally put nice furniture in our living room.
Wendy says
JOSS ME! I found a vintage table at a yard sale for $30, but saw it online for $125!
Rachel @ I'm Loving Today says
JOSS ME!
Finding and and purchasing our first home this spring was pure luck. We’d seen the home online and were underwhelmed by its photos, though it was in a fantastic location. On a whim, while we were touring other homes for sale in the area, we stopped at this home and were instantly charmed – it was adorable! The photos did it no justice. We drew up an offer the very next day, and it was accepted (well below asking price) three days later!
Kirsten says
JOSS ME!
I suppose finding our house itself still feels lucky to me. After 3 months it still feels unreal that we found our dream home.
maddie says
ooooooh! please JOSS ME! :)
i have just started in the housing decor/buying market so not much luck just yet. Hoping this is my first lucky break? :)
Tressa says
Joss Me!
Laura says
JOSS ME!
We were lucky that the previous owner of our 100 year house did his upgrades on top of the old details of our house, rather than taking them out completely. For example, he covered up two windows from the inside of the house, but left them intact on the outside. So we just had to cut holes in the inside to reveal them again.
Courtney says
Joss ME!!!
We were lucky to get all of our furniture free for our new apartment (granted it’s old lady floral couch and orange recliners but who says color doesn’t equal comfort??)
Marlena says
Joss me!
Our luckiest home improvement moment came from finding pieces we LOVE in my mother-in-law’s attic. We now have a gorgeous rug in our room and a beautiful dresser in our TV room, both items we never could have afforded and were sitting unused at her house.
Melissa says
JOSS ME! Usually anytime I go to crate and barrel outlet. I’m lucky enough to have one within 20 minutes of my house.
