    My luckiest home improvement moment was meeting my boyfriend who builds his own beautiful furniture. We save so much money on our own DIY projects… He builds the furniture and I like to do the art and decorating for our home.

    My luckiest moment was being the second family to see our current home on it’s first day on the market. They didn’t even want to show it as they were still cleaning things up but our realtor got us in – and we put our offer in that night and the house was ours!

    My luckiest home improvement moment was getting a practically new, fancy dishwasher for $25 at a resale store. There was no tag on it but the clerk genuinely seemed to think that was a reasonable price. Who were we to argue?!

    My moment of blessedness happened a couple months ago when my husband came home with some extra cash after fundraising for a trip he went on. He came home and asked me how much I needed for the couch that I had my eye on. I told him the price and he showed me the extra cash and said it was for the couch. It felt so good to be surprised that way and to be able to pay for a couch with cash. ;)

    I’ve had lots of luck with our house. Many great items on sale and good discount finds but prob the luckiest was the house itself. Got a great deal on it and we get to spruce it up all the time! :)

    I guess the luckiest house moment would be after looking at what seemed like 253 houses and getting more and more frustrated every day, finally walking into our charming Cape Cod and saying “done…what do we have to sign?”

    My luckiest house moment was finding the house of my dreams. We looked at about 15 houses in one day, and the minute we saw the last one, we knew that was it. And just in time too…we only have 45 days until we had to move out of our house that we had sold!

    My luckiest find was my house. Almost 1400 square feet on a triple lot. The clincher was the fact that it has a fully fenced in yard (we have five dogs, so this was a must)… all this for only $49,900. An elderly couple owned it, so the inside is VERY outdated, but everything is structurally sound. Now, if I can find a great deal on a wall oven and cook top (the one that came with the house is probably 50+ years old), I would be totally ecstatic.

    Joss Me! And I just had my lucky moment on Saturday!!! I have been looking for a buffet type table for my laundry room and just haven’t found the right piece. I was taking my daughter to my mom’s the other day and there was a garage sale across the street. Then, it happened. I spotted my buffet table! On top of that, I was able to get it for $60. Winner!!!!

    My luckiest moment…my aunt was holding an estate sale that included some really high end furniture. At the end of the sale a beautiful little gold loveseat was leftover, and she just gave it to me. I’d never be able to afford a piece this nice–I’m in the cheapest-couch-at-IKEA budget range normally. I actually have some really great memories of sitting on this loveseat back when the original owners were alive, and I think it’s good luck to have it my living room.
