Amanda says
Joss Me!! {Please}
I helped my then-fiance sell his house…potential buyer walked in on me taking a shower {didn’t see me naked or anything} and a few days later made an offer on the house! I’m pretty sure it was luck.
Jennifer says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest home improvement moment was when the man of my dreams turned out to be a general contractor who can build or fix anything!! Even luckier is when he said “I do” 17 years ago. Little did he know what he agreed to, lol!
Melissa says
Joss me.
My luckiest home improvement find: I found a Dremel (it even worked) with accessories and a carrying case for $2 at Goodwill. I don’t think whoever priced it could figure out what it was…
Jamie says
JOSS ME!
I inherited a vintage tufted loveseat that has been passed down through my family!
Christina M. says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest moment was finding matching mid-century Lane highboy and lowboy (credenza) dressers at a vintage store in town. I grabbed the tags and bought the set immediately.
Whitney says
JOSS ME!
Luckiest moment? We inherited my bf’s dad’s house for free, along with a new fridge and other things he so kindly left behind..a stove, microwave, table and chairs, etc! yay =)
Jordan says
JOSS ME!!! My luckiest moment? I would have to say finding the guy who goes along with just about my every decorating/improvement whim AND helps implement them!!
Melissa says
Joss me! My luckiest moment was scoring a large plaid cough, a pine dining room table which can fit up to 6 with 4 pine chairs, and 2 side tables for $50! Then I just put some time in to repaint and cover to my liking!
kari @ Human, MD says
JOSS ME!! No luck yet… I’m saving it up so I can find an awesome reading chair on sale when I least expect it…
Julie says
JOSS ME!! We DID find our house the day the sign went in the yard, before it was even on the MLS…after looking for nearly 18 months! We were dead set on a specific neighborhood and not going over our budget, so it took longer. And this house had a built in renter in the upstairs apartment who paid over half our mortgage for over six years before we renovated and took over that space. Score!!
Tracy Mahmoud says
JOSS MEEEE!!! My luckiest home improvement so far was having an issue with the first house my hubby and I were going to buy (there was a giant crack in the foundation) That issue put us back on the search and we found and just closed on a wonderful house. We’re so excited to call it home :)
kacie s. says
JOSS ME! best deal was probably scoring my headboard for my bedroom for 99 dollars!
Jen says
JOSS ME!
I scored a cute yellow rug from Garnett Hill on sale! Love it!
Christina@Lessons of a Newlywed says
JOSS ME!!! Pretty please.
Hmmm, my luckiest house moment is either falling in love (and marrying) an awesome guy who already had a house and giving me free-reign (more or less) to redecorate.
Or…finding this dresser on Craig’s List for $20 and refinishing it.

JOSS ME!
Jessica O. says
JOSS ME! I haven’t had too much house luck yet, other than a granny-great rocking chair I found for $15 in college. I had to pass it along a few years ago, and I still miss it.
Megan M says
JOSS ME! I think my luckiest home improvement moment was getting my family to help me put in a new kitchen. What a great giveaway!
Leigh says
“JOSS ME!” spruce floors under 70s vinyl.
Megan says
JOSS ME!!! Please! :)
Laura says
JOSS ME!
My kind of lucky story…I had my first apartment that allowed you to paint as long as you painted over your paint with white when you moved out. I went nuts with stenciling (Think green ivy all over everything…several years ago people!) Repainting everything white was not going to be fun! They showed my apartment to the NEW tenants and they loved it and said they would only rent the apartment if the stencil stayed! Lucky for me!
Lindsay says
Joss Me…PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Laura says
JOSS ME!!!
My luckiest moment was finding the house we live in, we almost gave up and were going to rent a tee-tiny apartment when we decided to look at just one last house!
Jocelyn says
Joss Me!!! Hey, my nickname is Joss, or Joce. Our luck in Denver…when we were looking at the house to rent, we asked if he would come down on the price and he did…saved us $200/mo. Never hurts to ask!!
Spenser says
JOSS ME!!
My husband scored 2 of these dining room chairs (but in cottage white) at our local Target for $2.98, total!!! They were an online return to the store and he watched them like a hawk until they were finally cheap enough to merit a pitty buy. That’s definitely our best/luckiest deal to date!

Erin says
JOSS ME! Puhleeeez!
Jess says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest moment came when my local TJ Maxx got in some nightstands I had seen on a DIY blog – almost a year after the person had them in their local store! I didn’t wait, I snatched them up the moment I saw them!
lisa says
JOSS ME! Our luckiest moment in home ownership was finding our dream house that we still live in for over 10 years.:)
Sam says
JOSS ME!
I found TWO beautiful racks of antlers in the attic of our house! Score.
Nicole says
JOSS ME!!
my luckiest home improvement was finding a wood worker that was able to build me a desk in a small alcove in my bedroom instead of having to find furniture that would fit in it.
Elsa Taricone says
JOSS ME!
Heather says
Joss Me. Yep, we were the first people to look at our at our home day it went on the market. We made an offer the next day and it was accepted! Prior to finding our place, we looked at over 40 condos around our neighborhood and nothing seemed right. Our real estate agent told us this was the last place he could show us in the neighborhood we were looking and that we were going to have to start expanding our boundaries. Just in the nick of time!
Richard says
Joss Me!! I needed a new queen fitted sheet badly, and happened to go to the goodwill that day and figured I would check to see if they had anything decent. A nice lady who worked there asked me if I needed any help, and I told her I needed a new fitted sheet. She pulls out a brand new Yves DeLorme fitted sheet for $4!!! Angels wings could not have gotten me to that register faster.
Steph says
JOSS ME! we found a home that had been completely updated inside, and in our price range! no work for us!
Michelle Simmons says
JOSS ME! I have 2 luckiest moments in home renos. First, I found a rocking chair sitting in the back room of my office and they gave it to me for free. I took it home, painted and re-upholstered it and LOVE it. Second, I bought my fixer-upper for $25000 (yep that’s right for the price of a car) and it wasn’t in that bad of shape and in a great neighborhood.
Megan says
Joss Me please!
Any time the Army moves us into brand new housing we consider it our luckiest moment!
Zhaleh says
JOSS ME! Not solely home related, but I feel pretty lucky to have such a large family. It makes moving and unpacking a breeze!
Christine Berry says
Joss me!
My luckiest moment was when I married a guy who can actually DO design work! Turning a $10 tree stump we found into a fun seat in our small living room was simple and cheap thanks to him!
Amber says
JOSS ME! My luckiest home improvement moment happened when I was talking to my very favorite aunt and uncle. I mentioned wanting to change out our kitchen flooring, not thinking that both of them work for a tile company. A few weeks and only $600 later, we have a gorgeous ceramic and glass mosaic tile floor in our kitchen, dining room, laundry room, and entryway. Lucky us!
Henry says
Joss me please!
Lex says
Joss Me!
My favorite piece of furniture actually came from craigslist, a very old singer sewing machine with a foot pedal!
Rebecca says
JOSS ME!
I’ve been pretty lucky so far. Most of my furniture is from family and it’s all stuff I love!
Stephanie says
JOSS ME! My luckiest home moment came when we bought our first home in Maryland. We had the best neighbors ever, a perfect starter home and made loads of cash when we sold it.
Stephanie W says
Joss Me!!
My luckiest home moment was selling our old condo back in 2009…our neighbors went on the market at the same time, and are STILL for sale! ugh….
Jessica R. says
JOSS ME!
Winning this giveaway would be my luckiest moment!! And trust me, it would be put to good use!
Sarah says
Joss me!
Our luckiest home improvement moment was probably – somehow, shockingly – being able to purchase a dream home in our dream neighborhood last month. I was sure it wouldn’t work, but it did.
Kesha says
JOSS ME!
Jennifer F says
JOSS ME! Our lucky house moment – finding the house with the perfect yard for our dog!
Allison says
Joss Me Please!
Kim says
Joss Me!!! These items are so cute!
Amy Marie B says
JOSS ME!!!!!
Our luckiest home moment was being the lowest bidder on our house- long, long story, but the short version is that at the 11th hour, the hubs and I decided to add the $450 for a home warranty back to our offer and pay it ourselves later. Our real estate agent later found out- even though I guess she shouldn’t have known this from the seller’s agent/bank/lawyer/whomever let it slip- that we beat out the next closest bid by only $250!! Yay for listening to our gut and scoring our perfect house!
