JOSS ME!
I’m hoping the home I move into on Saturday will be the luckiest. :)

JOSS ME!
My luckiest house moment was finding our recliner sofa on sale for $800. We had looked at similar models for around $1300 and were extremely happy to find it at a salvage warehouse for $500 cheaper. It’s one of our favorite pieces of furniture!
Veronica says
Joss me! My luckiest home improvement moment was a craigslist find…a free hammock to relax from all of the home improvements!
Sarah says
JOSS ME!
My favorite finds are always ugly duckling mid-century pieces found at a rummage sale. The latest one is a sewing desk, still on the to-be-refurbished list.
Brenda says
JOSS ME!! We would love this as we are redoing our kitchen and need some updated accessories!!! Our lucky moment was inheriting a few dressers just before having our first son–and still putting them to good use!
Jen O. says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest moment in home ownership was YESTERDAY when we crossed our fingers and pulled up a corner of the carpet. Beautiful hardwoods underneath! Score!
callie says
JOSS ME! My luckiest moment would have been when we scored two Ballard Designs sofas brand new from craigslist for $100/each. I am still in love with them.
Lindsay L. says
Joss me!
Dinka says
Joss me!
My luckiest home-affiliated moment was actually going to see my home when it was on the market! It was pouring rain and I was told the place was out of my budget…but on a whim I went anyway!
And it’s a good thing I did because it ended up being THE house…and THE house happened to be UNDER my budget, too!
Kates says
JOSS ME!
Luckiest is also the latest. We got an unsolicited offer on our condo, just days after a quiet drive through the neighborhood of our dreams. Our place wasn’t on the market, and moving was nuts. But we feel very, very lucky to have sold in this market and bought the house where we’ll become a family.
Rebecca says
JOSS ME!
I lucked out with a husband who knew nothing about home improvement, but has learned to love it! He’s done everything from plumbing to painting to installing kitchen counters, and now he’s building a bed.
Jess says
JOSS ME!!
My luckiest home moment was during our first day of house hunting– ever. We pulled up to our GORGEOUS house-to-be and I was immediately in love, love, love! It gets better- the previous owners had an old car sitting in the drive way. A very old car. A 4-door 1949 Buick Roadmaster sedan kinda old. Did I mention my husband is a mechanic? We bought the house (and the car!) and while talking to the neighbors discovered that the neighbor across the street works for the National Hot Rod Association and the neighbor next to him was 2 days away from buying our gorgeous house when we put in our offer. It was totally our lucky day!
Jordan says
JOSS ME! We got lucky in finding a great house with the front porch I had always wanted under our budget!!!
Laura D says
JOSS ME…
winning this would be my luckiest home improvement moment
Jennifer says
Joss ME! My most recent lucky find was a chandelier I’d been eyeing for $400 was found at another site for $179!! SCORE!! Led to a quick makeover in the master b.r. that was only 14 years in the making. Guess we needed an inspiration piece :)
Goldie says
JOSS ME!
Getting our first apartment when we were really down to the wire. (and we were homeless for the first two weeks after our wedding)
Megan says
JOSS ME!!!! (please oh please oh please…!)
Our luckiest moment was finding a house with loved in a neighborhood we could never afford…but it had water/mold damage. LUCKILY, my husband is a mold guy, and does inspections for a living! Score on a major deal of a house :o)
Marcy says

Amy D. says
JOSS ME!! My luckiest find for my home was the antique dresser that my neighbor thru out a few weeks ago. FREE..Yipee! With some TLC…it will be a beautiful piece of furniture.
MRF says
JOSS ME!!!
My luckiest moment in apartment renting was when I bought all my furniture over a period of 12 months in one state without having seen my new apartment in another state…and it all fit PERFECTLY!
Katie says
Joss me!
Our hot water heater breaking and flooding our downstairs actually turned out to be lucky. We were able to do most of the repairs ourselves and used the insurance money for a new kitchen counter top we desperately wanted!
michelle says
joss me,
best home moment, renting from friends, they let us do anything we want in the yard or inside, within reason of course!

Shannon says
Joss Me! (please)

Joss me.
Leslie says
Joss Me! All of my lucky finds would have to be disgarded items that I’ve found living in a college town. Our kitchen table, and some storage drawers were free!
Abby says
Joss ME!
My luckiest home improvement was finding an awesome reclaimed wood farmhouse table for a steal on etsy that was custom made by a craftsman just down the street from us (small world!) to fit in our smallish breakfast nook!
Nicole says
JOSS ME!
We are lucky in the fact that we have a landlord who lets us do what we want with the house!
Zu says

Joss Me!!! My luckiest moment was when I finished refinishing a dining room set! That was a lot of work!
Kristen Taylor says
Joss me please! We scored two amazing antique chests from my grandmothers chest. They were refinished and used as benches/storage in our master bedroom. Fabulous!
Jen H says
Joss me! We are still renting after almost 7 years, as we started our own business right before the recession. So we could use some good luck being able to afford our own home.
Choua Xiong says
JOSS ME!!!
My luckiest moment….During the process of finding my first home w/ my husband; my husband and I had two failed offered- we were outbid 1 time and the 2nd time, the owners was very uncooperative; it was such a difficult process and we lost alot of hope! but after awhile of nonstop searching and looking- my husband and I found a house, this time our offer was accepted! Our house wasn’t a move-in condition like the other two houses that we had put in offers for, I was a little skeptical bc I knew it was going to require alot of work, but it’s been two years now and I am sooo thankful my husband and I settled for a house that needed improvements, bc we’ve made alot of changes to the house, making it more fitting to our taste and style! After two failed offers, my luckiest moment was owning a home on the 3rd try! <3
Kim B says
Joss me!! I would love to win this! I would say one of our best home improvement moments is when my husband made us an awesome upholstered bed. We found one we loved for approx $1,600 at Ballard Designs – but he made ours for under $300!
Renee S says
Joss me!
Luckiest home improvement was finding enough stone tile at a garage sale to cover an ugly block wall in the basement…for only $30!
Shaye says
JOSS ME!!!
Jen says
JOSS ME!!
My luckiest deal was our house! Period! The floor plan was perfect for a family room for the kids/hubs with a living room that I can always keep clean and teach piano lessons in. The rest of the floor plan is adorable, and the backyard is a-maze-ing! It already had a bball hoop/court (fabulous for the kids to ride bikes on), a beautiful lawn, and a HUGE garden area that is FULL of fresh veggies right now!
Laura says
Joss me! My luckiest home improvement moment was when we found some awesome patio furniture that we had been eying for MONTHS at 50% off. SCORE!
Nate D says
JOSS ME!
Luckiest Home Moment (so far):
When the A/C drain partially flooded the 1st week in our first and present home, the vinyl tiles all started to peel up in the path of the water. The best part is that we wanted to replace them anyway, so in a way, the a/c drain leaking… everywhere… turned into a positive!
Molly says
JOSS ME!!!
My luckiest moment was finding the perfect couch, within 5 minutes of shopping, and it was on sale with free delivery!
careen says
Joss Me!
Finding our 1968 ranch with almost everything on our wish list! And, they left behind an old blue bicycle, both work benches and tons of tools!
Briana K. says
JOSS ME!
Kelly says
JOSS ME, PLEASE!!
Shelley says
JOSS ME!
No luck in the present on actually finding a home, but in previous homes we’ve found great buys at antique stores, local spots and great “friend” discounts in the building industry (ie free pavers).
Lisa says
JOSS. ME.
This is amazing. This would be my luckiest moment. Haha.
But I have found two armchairs for free on Craigslist….hmmm..
