Joss me! My best home improvement moment would be making a cornice window treatment out of foam core board & fabric for my daughters room.

Joss me!!
Chelsey says
JOSS ME!
Luckiest day was when we had been looking for our first home for months and loosing bids to cash offers, investors etc. Then we found a regular sale the FIRST day it was on the market and are making it into our DIY dream home!
Jill says
JOSS ME!!!
My luckiest moment in home ownership was getting great neighbors. The second was finding a local guy in the hood who we hired to put in wood floors, they are beautiful!
Chelsea says
My luckiest home related event was finding our house. We saw it the day after it went on the market and put in an offer right away. There were three other offers the same day and they accepted ours. I feel super lucky to have such a great house!

JOSS ME!!
..luckiest home improvement moment was when we managed to agree on paint colors in our last place (med-gray-green walls, tan ceiling, white trim) and it turned out lovely.

Joss Me … please

“Joss ME!!!” Por Favor
Holy Bologna…I have had a few lucky home improvement moments since we moved in here, but I think the best one is the dresser that we were given when we first moved in (everyone we knew was eager to ‘dump’, I mean, give us their unwanted treasures). We hung on to it and after a little TLC, a.k.a, a good sanding or two (or four), some primer, and a new paint job, it now resides in our someday-baby-room (we’re workin’ on DIY-ing a little one ; ) We are just in love with the way it turned out and that it cost less than $20 to do! : )
Lauren says
JOSS ME!! My luckiest experience was finding a place to live in a town I knew nothing about pretty much directly between my work and the hubs’ school. We got so lucky on that one, and we still love it!
Emily says
JOSS ME!
My lucky moment was finding our house 60k under assessment, also just days before the end of the 8k tax credit window. Imagine our surprise when we realized that once past all the overgrowth in the backyard, we had lake-front property!!! (Okay, it’s a retention pond, but it LOOKS like a lake)
Alas, I had hoped your blog subject was referring to Joss Whedon, all-time tv genius mastermind of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “Angel” as well as the amazing but short series “Firefly” and its accompanying movie “Serenity.” But that’s okay, $500 bucks is good too :p

Joss me!
I took a trip to my local IKEA last Sunday to buy a chair for my bedroom so that I could have a little reading corner while also filling an empty corner that just didn’t look right. So I called up my friend and off we went. I went in expecting to spend somewhere around 100 buck on this chair(and this was with the cheapest options the chair offered) and lo and behold, it was marked down a few days before to 69 dollars! Woohoo! I was so happy. Though I still managed to spend over a 100 dollars that day…
Denise S. says
JOSS ME! My luckiest thing was a free mid-century modern hutch thingy that we have in our dining room. It was totally different than my previous tastes but blended in so well and turned me onto using multiple styles in my home!
Jessica says
Oh my!! Joss & Main!!???? Sign me up! I don’t have any cool home improvement stories, other than I love a good deal on home decor, and thoroughly enjoy it. I rent right now, but I’ve been lucky with my landlord. My 5 year old daughter, Maci was diagnosed with Pre B Acute Leukemia July 13. We were going to have to move, due to me no longer being able to work. I got a phone call from our landlord last Friday, saying the owner of our house wanted to help us out so we didn’t have to move! For the next several months, until I can go back to work, he cut our rent in half!! I was extremely stunned, and truly believed it was a miracle!! My daughter is doing very well, and we might be able to go home this weekend!! Thank you Jesus!!
elaine K says
Joss ME! My luckiest moment was getting two offers on the first day for more than the asking price when we sold our home ten years ago.
Anna See says
Joss me! Our luckiest home improvement moment was when we sold our first house on mother’s day, in the rain, with multiple offers!
Ellie says
JOSS ME!!
Caitlin says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest moment was when my friend deciding to give me her white couch – the hightlight of my living room!
Rich says
Joss me. I got a really nice table for $5 at a second hand store.
Lacy says
Joss me!
I found a beautiful, all oak dresser on the side of the road. At the time it was painted hideous pastel colors (over eight colors on one dresser–YIKES!) I didn’t know what kind of wood it was…but I loaded it into the car anyway. After stripping the paint, and hours (yes, HOURS!) of sanding, a beautiful dresser was revealed! I poly’d it a bajillion times, and it is lovely! Yay free dresser!
Taylor C says
JOSS ME!
I once found a moderately used but completely free ping-pong table on the side of the road. It provided a hefty amount of entertainment.
Darcie says
Joss me!
AndreaL says
JOSS ME!
Tricia B says
JOSS ME!! Luckiest moment has to be when I found a sweet piece of solid wood walnut furniture for 5 bucks on craigslist. I love a deal!
Terri says
JOSS ME!! Finally getting my grandmother’s dresser after it went to two other homes before landing in mine!
Adrienne says
JOSS ME!
Our dream rental house appeared on craigslist – seriously – 1 minute before I opened the site. We were the first to call, the first to visit, and the first to nab it.:)
Julia H. says
“JOSS ME!” Most of the items in our house are hand me downs. We are slowly upgrading furniture as we have money. I love the art work we have in the house. We splurged on a couple pieces of art on our honeymoon and had them framed and I love them.
JenS says
JOSS ME! My luckiest home improvement find was the list of products the designer used to decorate a bedroom in an issue of Better Homes and Gardens. I loved it and it made decorating our bedroom so easy!
Samantha says
JOSS ME!!
Brooke says
Joss Me!!
My luckiest home improvement moment was finding identical media storage and cabinets at Target for about half the price as their look-a-like at Pottery Barn. They looked amazing in my loft, especially since they didn’t break the bank!
Andrea says
Joss Me! Luckiest decor find was our gorgeous 50s 12 drawer dresser. We found it the day after I was resigned to buying a less good, smaller and more expensive version at IKEA. It was on Craigs list for $50! YESS!
Jamie says
“JOSS ME”…luckiest home improvement was just going for it. Bathroom and kitchen renovation at one time.
melissa says
JOSS ME!!!!!!!
Chrissi H says
Joss Me!
Best home improvement moment was when our bathroom remodel was next to free since my husband did some major car repairs for the bathroom guy for free. I love being the benefactor of trade work!
Lindsey says
JOSS ME!
I probably just had my luckiest moment this past saturday! Thrifting with my family and finding my long awaited large yellow vintage Pyrex bowl :) I’m a cheap girl and it was priced for $8!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SOLD ;) We later ran into 3 more all more than $20! Go me!
Danielle says
JOSS ME!!
After ordering a new custom couch at a department store, the very next day I happened upon the most GORGEOUS and comfortable couch ever… Luckily for me, the original couch came with a 3-day backout period, which I did, and instead ended up with the 2nd couch.
Hayley says
JOSS ME!
I think my luckiest moment was when we were FINALLY able to move into our house, just in the nick of time! My hubbie was leaving the next day for Asia, and I was afraid I would have to move all by myself, but we closed just in time to share the burden! :)
Alisha C says
Joss me! When i found an amazing broyhill 1960’s china cabinet on Craigslist for 75 dollars!
Libby says
Joss Me! :)
Amanda says
Joss Me!!
While we’re not quite ready to buy (the hubs is still in law school), we found the perfect rental house just recently. We were set to turn in an application on a sufficient-but-not-the-apartment-of-our-dreams place, when my husband checked the craigslist rentals one last time. It was the perfect place and more! We’re so lucky to have discovered it.

Luckiest house moment: when we were told we’d be stuck as a family of three in a studio apartment, but the housing department of my husband’s work came through on a bigger place a full year early!
Heather says
Joss ME!
I havent dabbled too much into home improvement since I dont own a home yet (I just live through all the blogs I read), but I did refinish my dresser and I am completely in love with it. I am always so happy when I walk in my room
Emily @ Comfortable Home Life says
JOSS ME! I was lucky enough to find a set of bookshelves on sale right when I needed them! I had just gone to a library sale and came home with more books than I knew what to do with..
Angela says
JOSS ME!!!!
My luckiest home improvement moment was getting a wicked great deal on a riding lawn mower the day our old one died! Have you ever mowed 1.5 acres with a push mower? NOT FUN!
Staci says
JOSS ME!!
I’ve found my most treasured pieces at either auctions, or on the curb for free!
Staci says
I put in the wrong stinkin’ email on my first comment. Please delete that one :)
JOSS ME!!
Alisa says

My luckiest moment was finding an AWESOME buffet at a thrift store for $50. I painted it a beautiful peacock blue and it proudly sits in my living room.
Rebecca says
Joss Me!
