    My luckiest home improvement moment was finding the most amazing unique set of lamps on craigslist and using them as a focal point to redecorate an entire room!

    Joss Me! Our lucky house moment was when the first house we looked at was the one we ended up buying, and despite the fact that our realtor told us to be ready for bumps in the homebuying process, the whole thing couldn’t have gone more perfectly!

    I stalk craigslist for anything Arhaus or Pottery Barn. My latest find, a chair and a half from Arhaus that I paid 150 for, while its very expensive twin brother was still in the window display at our local Arhaus store for quite a bit more money.

    Joss me! Living in a different state we had 2 days in town to house hunt. After day 1 and 21 houses later left us worried we’d be renting again, day 2’s first house was perfect. Old and quaint, with lots of diy projects we could handle, we hoped we could afford it. Put in an offer and after several negotiations, finally landed our 1st home in a great neighborhood that we love. We feel like luck was on our side with our new old home!

    We were planning on renting a truck to buy our dining room table from World Market. We happened to rent the truck on the day they were having a huge furniture sale and my husband got a sweet coupon for signing up for the Explorers program in the store. We wound up getting the table for around 50% off.

    My hubs is out of work and we’ve been in our new place for about a year, so don’t have much $$ to decorate and we desperately need some rugs for our soon-to-be crawler. Our town has great garage sales, and two weeks ago I scored an 8×10 wool/jute rug from Pottery Barn that they still have on the website for $80!!

    To me, Joss means Joss Whedon, so I can’t get my head away from a Buffy The Vampire Slayer place. But I’d guess my luckiest home moments are when I find awesome things in the trash, like a gorgeous, huge curvy mirror I randomly saw on the side of the road right when I was planning to buy one!

    I don’t really have a lucky moment but I have an unlucky moment does that count? I went to the store to get paint so I could paint my girls’ playroom. When I got home from the store and opened the car door to get the paint out of the back it fell out of my car and broke open ALL OVER MY DRIVEWAY..the entire gallon :( I think I need some joss (luck) around here ;)

    I was searching for a coffee table and found the perfect one made of stone and marble at an estate sale. The original price tag was $380 and I walked away with it for $250! It weighs about that much too..

The previous owner had covered it up with renters beige carpet. We tore the carpet out the day we found it and gush about our hardwoods on a daily basis now!
