joss me!!!
luckiest thing was finding a gallon of “oops” paint that was the perfect shade of gray for my hallways, gotta love other peeps “mistakes” and I’m a cheap-o!
Elizabeth L says
JOSS ME!
I am lucky and I inherited some lovely furniture from family – a dining room set and antique halltree. I also found my bed when Storehouse went out of business – great store closing, floor sample sale for a bed in perfect condition!

JOSS ME!
Our luckiest moment in home-related life is finding our current house. It wasn’t even on the market, but we found out that the sellers were interested in selling it because our best friends live across the street. We got a great house and now live close to our friends!!!
Sarah says
JOSS ME!!
My luckiest moment – a neighbor moved and left me with an old armoire. I refinished in a deep espresso stain and got new knobs…looks like a million bucks and it was free! No one who steps foot in our dining room would have any idea!
Megan L says
JOSS ME!! My lucky moment would be discovering blogs last year while I was bored and pregnant. I wasn’t happy with the way our house was decorated but we didn’t want to spend a lot of money on decorating it with our own little bean arriving soon. Blogs quickly talk me the value of a sewing machine, thrift stores, spray paint, and DIYing!!
Megan L says
Wait….did I say LAST YEAR?? My boy is 16 months, so I guess that would be almost 2 years ago that I discovered blogs. Am I in denial or what???
Kimberly says
JOSS ME!

“JOSS ME!”
Best thing that every happened to me when it comes to home improvement, is marrying a man who loves it as much as i do! We “build” ideas off of each other :):)

Tammie says
JOSS ME!!! My greatest deal was in Germany – they did not have the used stores available, so they threw out furniture on “bulk pick up nights”. My friends and I got the schedules and went furniture shopping. I got shoe shrunks, a dining room buffet, china hutch, 2 chairs, end tables and so much more. It was fabulous!
Lyndy says
Joss Me. Our luckiest moment was shen we found an old oak phone booth door at a flea market. We were able to cut it down to make into our pantry door. After a lot of stripping… it was a conversation piece in our 80 year old kitchen.

We are new to our home and needed extra panels of existing curtains for the living room (they match a vera bradley rug that isn’t going any where any time soon) I had scored the panels originally at Christmas Tree shop over a year ago. So you can only imagine my ‘luck’ when they had 2 more panels for our new home.
Meagan B. says
Joss me! Nothing lucky yet, just a lot of haaarrrddd work :)
Jessica says
JOSS ME! We have made some great furniture finds on craigslist including headboard, kitchen table, changing table and rocking chair.
Daria says
JOSS ME!
It might be enheriting the best yellow leather chair and some paintings/artwork from my parents house.
Daria says
This might be one of the greatest giveaways ever! I would be forever grateful! Thanks younghouselove for giving us such a great giveaway this week :)
Tina N. says
Joss Me.
I snagged 4 awesome panels of curtains at an Outlet store. There was nothing wrong with them. They were returns and were sold at $20 each, 75% less than the retail price.
Sara W. says
JOSS ME!
Our luckiest house moment was when we were given a second chance on our perfect first house; we were outbid first then called back with good news the following week– score!
Anne F says
Joss me!
Finding the perfect couch, on sale, and under our price range has been my luckiest moment so far…let hope I get some more once we actually become home owners…<3
Kristin says
JOSS ME PLEASE!!!! My luckiest home improvement moment was eyeing up a light fixture at Lowes that was too expensive and after rounding the corner, the light fixture display was on clearance for only $20 Cheaper than the cheapo light fixture I thought I was going to have to buy. I was so pumped!!
Erin L. says
JOSS ME!!!!
My luckies moment has been finding my husband in the process of purchasing a house needing some serious TLC. The joke now runs that he put so much sweat equity into the house he HAD to marry me!
Lori Beth says
Joss Me!
Quiana says
JOSS ME! My luckiest moment was when I found my dream NYC apartment when I first moved to the city – everyone told me I’d never find all the things I wanted within my budget (in-unit laundry, doorman, downtown view, stainless steel appliances, walk-in closet), but I did!
Cara says
Joss me! I found a great mirror at an estate sale for $6! It’s quite similar to the oval, plastic mirror IKEA has been selling, but mine is a tough metal and the real deal!
Megan says
JOSS ME!
Luckiest home moment–finding the perfect table for our patio on super clearance for $25!
Beth says

Luckiest moment- free cable for a year, it was awesome!
Katie says
Joss Me :)
Lucky? Well, we had a tree fall over last winter so I saved some of the branches and have been using them as a center piece in our dining room since. People really dig it! And it was free!
Marissa says
Joss me!
I married a man with three empty walk-in closets in his condo :)
Caitlin says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest home moment WILL BE the day that we finish the living room project… so we can actually have some free time with each other on the weekends!
elif says
JOSS ME! We found a great lamp on the side of the road then found a $5 glass dome for it at a salvage place that fit perfectly. AND it was already properly rewired!

shell says
JOSS ME!!!! we scored when cleaning up the kitchen cabinets of our new house..and found 500 dollars in an old enveloppe..we guessed that the old lady living there before us hid that there a really long time ago…and forgot it!! now THAT was a lucky moment :)
Nicole R. says
JOSS ME PERTY PERTY PU pu pu PULEASE!!!!!!!
Lori Beth says
Joss Me!
We inherited some huge, heavy side tables that have doors for storage on two sides. even though they are enormous, we have always been able to find a spot for both of them in our (sometimes) tiny apartments. (Personally, I think if you can store stuff in it, it’s worth finding a spot for it)
Cassie says
JOSS ME. For realz.
My luckiest decor-related moment (lately) is the gorgeous antique mahogany dresser I scored from Craig’s List for $30. It’s so beautiful I just want to cry.
Brenda says
joss me! After weeks of not knowing for sure, we managed to close on our house 1 week before our son was born, just enough time to get unpacked and set up his new room!
Whitney J says
Joss Me!!!
My luckiest moment would probably be finding the right house for us – good size, great view, and a price we could afford.
Katie T. says
JOSS ME!
The hubs and I found our $2000 entertainment center at a consignment shop for $200. A little paint and new hardware and it is perfect in our family room!

JOSS ME!!!
I seem to get pretty lucky finding little house treasures to accessorize. Bath and body works had my latest purchase, an oil burner that was my favorite blue.
Sara E. says
Joss Me!
Jen says
JOSS ME. I was lucky to find a large house for the price and benefit from the tax credit!
Sarah Johnson says
JOSS ME and my luckiest find as of late was a gray quilt at Ross for $30. Talk about a cheap update for a bedroom! And it can be washed at home, so no more having to be dry cleaned! SCORE!
Megan says
JOSS ME!! The luckiest home ownership time was when I came home from work to find that my husband had painted the accent wall in my living room. Not only was the exact color red that I wanted but must of all I didn’t have to paint it myself!
Jamie Connolly says
Joss Me
My luckiest home moment is Renting a place site unseen, and upon arrival loving it. At this moment we are getting ready to move again, gotta love that military lifestyle. We are hoping to be lucky again.
Lisa Riley says
JOSS ME!!!

Morgan Gunter says
Joss Me! my luckiest home moment was making our tufted headboard and loving it still 4 years later!
Lindsay B says
JOSS ME!
When my husband and I moved to a new city, we put an offer on a house the second day we were here without even knowing if we liked our jobs, the area, or without doing a house hunting. I think it’s pretty lucky that we ended up loving all of it, despite our crazy, hasty actions!
