Joss ME!!! PLEASE!
My luckiest find was a beautiful couch that was an extremely good price.
Deb Della Rosa says
JOSS ME! We lucked out on our current house (of 7 weeks) by having the right realtor who just happened to have been approached by the former owners for a price analysis of their house. They were going to put their place on the market “by owner” for a little while and then list with her. We put an offer on the house before it ever hit the market, and based on current sales prices in town we feel like we made out pretty well.

JOSS ME!!!!
I have the most amazing, charming, outgoing father in the world! The center of our family…he is the glue that holds our family together! Around the time that my fiance and I were looking for a our first home, my dad became sick and needed a kidney transplant. More than anything, I needed him to get better. While waiting to hear if we were kidney matches from the hospital…my fiance and I went for a drive in a subdivision to look for homes for sale. We fell in LOVE with a house that had just gone on the market. Without a doubt, we knew that this home was the right one for us. That evening, we called the realtor and within days, the seller accepted our offer! The beauty of this story…that same week…I was told I was a perfect match for my dad! We just celebrated the two year anniversary of our home and successful kidney transplant!

JOSS ME!!! My favorite thrift shop score that I love to brag about is a set of high backed gold-yellow chairs. Most people think I should recover them, but I say NO WAY!! The color is what I LOVE!! And they are extremely comfortable!
Vanessa says
Joss me! Our luckiest moment was scoring our house–one that we thought was totally out of our league, especially after losing out on 13 other houses we made offers on.
Lisa says
Joss me! We found the exact kitchen pulls we were planning to buy while cleaning out the cabinets.
Cori says
JOSS ME!
Luckiest thing was finding out the designer bedroom set we wanted (King bed, 2 night stands, gentleman’s chest and lingerie dresser) were all over 50% off at a local furniture store! Saved us $2,000!
Lauren says
JOSS ME!!! :)
Aimee says

Our “luckiest” moment was the day we finally moved into the house my husband built, after 2 long years of hard work!
Zoe says
Joss me!
I had been looking for the perfect credenza for over a year and I spotted it on Craigslist for $50. $50!! Needless to say it was sitting pretty in my living room less than hour later.
Martha says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest moment was to marry a skilled wood craftsman. I married him for so many other reasons, but this was icing on the cake.
Sara H says
Joss Me! A year ago we put an offer on a house the day it went on the market ( it already had two offers on it) and we got it. It has the perfect layout for our growing family and was in one of our favorite neighborhoods.
Krista says
JOSS ME! My husband and I both owned houses when we met, and luckily we were able to get rid of one. We now live in mine, while it isn’t our dream house, we will have one some day.
Sarah says
JOSS ME!!!! My luckiest moment was finding our dream house for an amazing price!!!! Never thought we would be in a house like this as our first home!

Joss me!
Our luckiest house moment was when the sellers of our dream house dropped the price by nearly 10% just days before we were ready to make an offer.
SARAH M. says
JOSS ME!!!!!!!!!!!
Jenny H. says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest home improvement moment was getting my amazing flat screening tv for the front ON SALE. Score.
Melissa Steuart says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest home moment was buying the first home we looked at….after looking at many after and going back-it felt like luck to find it in the first place.
Amy Tate says
JOSS ME! I had great luck this spring, when some roofers who were just finishing a job at the top of the street agreed to repair a few shingles on our house for $60. I know it would have cost a fortune to call a roofing company to do the repair, and these guys did an awesome job in about 25 minutes.
Jen says
JOSS ME!! Husband and I have had many lucky moments in our home, but I think the LUCKIEST one was finding some of our favorite items at an auction house on our way to vacation. The things you can find..amazing!
Jessica O'Connell says
JOSS MEE!!!!!
Our Luckiest Home improvement moment was when I found our bedspread on RueLaLa for $200 off the retail! I bought it instantly! Such a great deal!
Carly says
JOSS ME!
Our luckiest home moment was when we moved in and met our new neighbors. They have been so helpful to us… they plow our driveway in the winter for free (we live in CT and this past winter was brutal!), they installed our storm door for us and help us with generally anything we need since we’re still new at this home ownership thing and figuring it out as we go. We’re SO lucky to have them!
Brooke says
JOSS ME!
I found a dining room table with 2 chairs on Craigslist for $25! They need a little love but they are going to look great. BTW, I ended up only paying $20…I’m obviously a serious haggler, what can I say?! :)
Michelle N says
JOSS ME!
Jamie says
JOSS Me! We have been extremely lucky in that we have been given most of our large peices of furniture. Parents/coworkers who have moved or have lots of money to buy new furniture all of the time have been incredibly generous to us
Natalie says
JOSS ME!
My lucky home decor moment was finding a lamp sitting beside a dumpster and transforming it into the perfect addition to our guest room!

Brit says
JOSS ME!
Lucky is getting to live in the house we do even after my boyfriend and I both lost our jobs a few months after closing. We did it without any help, and we’re still here 2 and a half years later.
Christina says
Joss Me!!!
My luckiest moment was randomly finding a sectional that could actually fit in our tiny family room. Best of all, it cost half the price of the one’s we originally looked at!
Jennifer says
JOSS ME!!! We were able to trade in the lease we signed for a bigger apartment that went on the market with out landlord after we signed for our smaller, non-hardwood floored apartment!!!
Alissa says
Joss me baby! The day we found out that our offer was accepted on our first home, we found out we were expecting our first baby. Now THAT was a lucky day. (And it’s the dog!)
Mia says
Joss me!
I think my luckiest home improvement moment was the fact that my grandparents sold their vacation home just as I was moving into my first apartment. Meaning I basically didn’t have to spend a cent to decorate and furnish my place, as they were looking for someone to take their sudden surplus of furniture! I guess I’m also lucky that my grandparent’s have good taste AND an affinity for antiques. ;)
Lyndsey says
Joss Me!!
Luckiest moment was the armoire my parents were getting rid of and gave to me!
Christine says
JOSS ME!!!
Kelly Morley says
Joss Me! I’d have to say I feel lucky every time I move or rearrange my own furniture and have that “a-ha moment” of finding an even better spot for something I already love. It feels new and fresh and doesn’t cost a cent! ;-)
Hillary says
JOSS ME!
Right now are considering ourselved incredibly lucky to be able to afford to live in a house that we love. :)
Kiki says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest moment happened two days ago when I found the PERFECT apartment for my boyfriend and I. After weeks and weeks of looking, dozens of apartments getting snatched up before I could even view them, and two applications falling through, we found the place that we had imagined all along… And I’m so excited to start decorating it!

I got lucky when I spilled a whole bucket of paint all over my carpet. I pulled it up and whatdaknow, there was hardwood under there!
Alana Powers says
JOSS ME! Luckiest furniture find was this amazing blue microsuede chair that we plan on turning into a glider for our new nursery at TJ MAXX on CLEARANCE for less that $200!
Sarah says
Joss Me….
Luckiest home moment was scooping up our last house for a thrid of what we sold it for after fixing up the bank repo state it was in.
Lara Rassette says
JOSS ME!! Our best deal we got for our home was inheriting my Grandmother’s childhood desk. Its next to my computer desk and holds my printer. I love it.
Alyssa says
Joss me!! Our landlord agreed to a rent reduction last year when the housing market took an even bigger dive.
