JOSS ME!!! I would love to win this so much! Our luckiest moment was when we finally sold our old house and were able to buy a new house that we are slowing fixing up!! Hooray for projects :)
Laura says
Joss me please! My incredibly lucky home improvement find has been a pier1 dresser $400 off the original price which we are, thanks to your wise and awesome inspiration, turning into a double vanity. Luckily, it seems to be in the cards for us to overhaul our entire bathroom, because everything we have purchased so far has been on sale from the tub/shower unit to even the paint! Cannot wait to see our finished product- thanks for all the inspiration!
Michelle says
JOSS ME! My old desk was picked up from the curb in minutes (literally) and we found a new (solid wood) desk on Craig’s List for just $25! Score.
Lauren K says
JOSS ME!
Keri says
JOSS ME! Not just one moment, but still lucky: I have a knack for finding exactly what I was looking for…with a clearance tag :)
Melanie says
JOSS ME! My luckiest home improvement was when I taught my new neighbor how to paint her house while our husbands were deployed. We have been great friends ever since that night-over 10 years ago!
Nicole says
JOSS ME!
We are feathering our 2-bedroom rental nest which was a huge stroke of luck to find when we were about 7 months pregnant. We were planning to make do with our one-bedroom rental which we loved living in, but then the rent was going up and it wasn’t going to be such a good deal anymore with an expanding family. We looked and found our current place two blocks away in the neighborhood we love, in a price range that’s a really good deal for the two bedrooms to accommodate the size of our little family.
Erin says
Joss Me! Luckiest decoration moment was gaining a super handy father-in-law to help us out!

Emily @ Comfortable Home Life says

Joss Me!
My luckiest moment in home ownership is finding a wonderful house in a wonderful neighborhood waaaaay less than we thought it would be – and now we live here!! In bonus, the luckiest thing about buying this house where it is means I am close to my handy father and father-in-law!
Clare says
JOSS ME! My luckiest home improvement moment has been discovering my love for DIY projects so that I can beautify on a budget!
Jenna Smith says
JOSS ME!
I inherited a 100-year-old Steinway grand piano complete with the bill of sale. I plan on designing a room around it.
Steph says
Joss Me!!!!
Jennifer says
Joss me! My luckiest moment was finding the desk that I secretly wanted but was out of my price range had been marked down to below the price of the second tier desk I’d intended to buy that very day!
Rachael says
Joss me!
We’re in the middle of moving from one big city to another. Our house has been on the market for a couple months, but my husband and I both have jobs in our new city and we have child care lined up for the little one. We were planning to move in with my parents until the house sold, and Friday was our last night in the house we love so much. Right before we started our bedtime routine with our one year old, I got a call from the realtor that said we had an offer!! Phew! Nothing like sweating it out until the very last day!

Hmmm…once I was determined to paint an old dresser a deep espresso brown. The paint was mixed at my local shop but it turned out dark purple-y slate gray…but I love it!
Olivia says
JOSS ME! No really! My luckiest home find was a white table that I inherited from my sister (who inherited it from our parents). It fits perfectly in my kitchen nook and matches a simple pair of kitchen chairs. I love spending mornings there!
Erin says
JOSS ME! Lucky moments for me are when my DIY projects are a success.
Elisa @ What the Vita says
JOSS ME! We lucked out by finding two great sectionals on CL!
Jennifer Loftin says
JOSSSSSSS MEEEEEEEE!!!
Amanda C says
JOSS ME!!!! I got pretty lucky when we went to a yard sale down the street from me. We almost didn’t go in because it looked kinda junky. However, I found some AWESOME blue mason jars for $1, some AMAZING frames that just needed a wee bit of spray paint, and some other awesome “farm stuff” that I can’t wait to repurpose! WOOP WOOP!
Traci says
JOSS ME
Alison says
Joss me please. Our luckiest moment was when walking down the hardware stores center isle, we found large tile on clearance super cheap and tiled the front porch, where the concrete was cracked and ugly.

Joss me!
Our luckiest home moment was when after a year of living in our house, we finally turned on the irrigation system “that was only in the landscaping” (according to the previous homeowner) and finding out that it was throughout our entire yard! No more dragging the sprinkler and hose around. I think we just stood there and watched in amazement for a good 10 minutes!
Laura says
Joss me!
Our house went under contract in two days (we were prepared for months), so we were lucky to find our dream home the same day we went under contract. Two months after we closed, we are still just as happy with the house as the day we found it.

Sara says
JOSS ME!
A lucky recent moment was finding bedside lamps just like what I imagined, but for $30 for the pair at home goods. Such a good deal.
Mindy M says
JOSS ME!
The luckiest house moment was how we “found” our house. We rented our condo for a year, and when the new homebuyer credit spurred us on to buy our first place, we loved it so much that we asked if we could buy it from the owner. The lucky part? We bought it for about $20,000 under market – amazing!
Rae says
JOSS ME!!

fingers crossed!
Vanessa says
JOSS ME!!!!!
My husband and I just had the best lucky moment ever last week! We’ve really been wanting something for our living room as a “home entertainment center” – just like some chest of drawers or something – ANYTHING would be better than the ugly beat up stand we did have – but we can’t afford one. Then last week, we were at a thrift store looking for shorts for my husband and I turned around and BAM – there it was! The most perfect stand – it was in the style we love (60’s mod), in great condition, and the perfect type of dresser-thing (we think it used to be an accompanying piece for an office desk) that we didn’t even have to fix up or adjust to make it work with our stereo stuff. And it was super cheap – only 30 bucks! Best. Day. Ever.
Tavia says
JOSS ME!
Our luckiest moment was tearing up the carpet and finding gorgeous hardwoods!
Michelle B-C says
Joss Me! We’ve always been very lucky with our current home, but our most recent lucky break was getting a beautiful snow fountain cherry for our backyard for a steal — almost 75% off (and it wasn’t even dying)!

I can’t say that our current house is my dream house but it was a lucky find. My in-laws were watching my kids while I was out with a realtor looking at houses. When I returned I saw a for sale by owner sign in the yard of our house that wasn’t there before. We looked at the house that night and made an offer the next day. The day after that our offer was accepted. We live in a great neighborhood…my in-laws live close, my husband can walk or ride his bike to work every day and it is walking distance to everything we might need! What a find!

Ashley says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest home improvement find was a rug for the living room. Was originally priced at $150 and was a discontinued style that should have been removed from the store’s sales floor. But since it was still on the floor they had to sell it for the lowest price in the computer $17.98. Yippie!
Essie says
JOSEE ME!! We found the perfect bathroom tile at a great price.
Lisa W. says
JOSS ME! My luckiest home improvement moment was when my hubby figured out how to create perfect black furniture without paint or stain! I am now the proud owner of a beautiful black desk he made me. BTW, he used vinegar, steel wool and tree bark! Crazy!!
Jenni Roberts says
Joss me! The designer accidentally marked “four-sides masonry” when she marked the options on our builder home. So we got the only four-sides masonry home in the neighborhood and didn’t pay a dime for it!

Joss Me!
My luckiest home moment has been finding amazing homes to buy and rent as we move around the country every 3 years as active duty military! Haven’t had a bad one yet!
Anna says

My luckest home moment is having a husband that loves new projects as much as I do!
