JOSS ME!!
*My lucky decorating story. I’m expecting a baby boy in Oct and was browsing on etsy when I saw a picture of the exact bedding we’re using paired with wall decals that matched perfectly! I ordered those suckers right away!!
Anna says
Joss Me! My luckiest home improvement moments seem to come at garage sales…we’ve furnished most of our home with made-over yard sale finds.
Ani says
JOSS ME! and I’m still waiting on a lucky home improvement moment!
Misty says
Joss ME!
My luckiest home improvement was doing our master bath redo for next to nothing (by ourselves). Almost 3 years later- I still LOVE IT! normally I get bored with a paint color, decor, etc, but I even still like the shower curtain.
Danielle says
JOSS ME!!
My luckiest moment was when I moved into an older farm house and the previous owner left a great white antique dresser…which fit perfectly into my shabby-chic room.
Cora says
Joss Me!
Luckiest moment? Finding our dream house when we were not actively looking after a friend of us convinced us to go and check out a great house for sale in his neighborhood, and getting it for a great price right at the bottom of the housing crisis!
Grace says
“JOSS ME!” my luckiest home moment was the day I signed on all those dotted lines for my first home.
Kristen AV says
Joss me. We were lucky that when we needed to furnish our first home, we were living in the only city with a Room and Board outlet store.
Meghan says
Joss Me!!!

JOSS ME!
We just got lucky building a large picture frame for above the couch. We were calculating how pricey it was going to be, so decided to cup up and old coffee table and make it ourselves for only a couple $’s in supplies. And it turned out great (that’s the lucky part!).
jackie says
Joss Me!
My luckiest home moment is when I snagged an antique drop leaf table and chairs (my friend swears its real Duncan Phyffe, but maybe it is really a repro from the 50’s?) for $125 on craigslist.
Amorie says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest home improvement project was having my nephew and his dad move into our basement. They have fixed our fence, our sprinkling system, and are also putting in a bathroom downstairs for us!
Miriam Gage says
JOSS ME!!
My luckiest home improvement moment was discovering the dresser for our nursery at the rhea lana resale for $40.
penelope says
JOSS ME!!!
Easiest question of my life – literally. Luckiest house ever was the one my once boyfriend bought just before we started dating. We spent the next year renovating it to then sell it several months after our honeymoon. We just recently named our daughter after the street it was on, Emerson.
Laurie says
Joss Me!
My luckiest furniture find happened the day before we moved from San Diego to San Francisco, I got 2 great midcentury modern dressers for a song! The only down side was we hadn’t factored them in to the moving truck size so it was a TIGHT squeeze!

Kate says
JOSS ME!
I’m currently doing brown paper bag countertops in my bathroom so if they actually turn out fabulous, I’ll be super lucky b/c they are so cheap!
Chrissy says
JOSS ME!
I am so lucky that my grandma is a very talented artist and my walls are covered in her stunningly gorgeous artwork!
Nicole says
Joss me!
Lucky moment: Finding an old fence waiting to go to the wood graveyard. I gathered it up (while wearing heels!) and transformed it into planked wall art. Fun and Free!
Ashleigh says
JOSS ME!
Sadly, I have no scores to tell of. Just those of shame :)
Mina says
JOSS ME! – Please:)

joss me
David says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest moment in home ownership was finding the house of my dreams at a price way below market value. Unbeknownst to me at the time, the couple was getting a divorce and they just wanted to unload it–after just having completed an expensive expansion and rennovation. If my house were on the market today, I couldn’t afford to buy it! I still can’t believe my good fortune!
Lisa says
JOSS ME!!
My luckiest moment was that we were able to buy our house in the first place – our previous house sold in 18 days!
katie says
JOSS ME!!!!
Luckiest home improvement moment! Getting 30% off a years lease at our apartment complex!
Susie says
Joss me (please)!
audrey says
JOSS ME!!!
My luckiest moment was finding a free leather computer desk chair in mint condition on a free market site!
Rose T says
Joss me!!
Best house moment was selling our condo in a terrible market, finding the house of our dreams and moving in 2 weeks before our son was born. Stessful, but totally worth it!
Jessica Tenberge says
Joss me! Our luckiest moment was when we bought our house in early spring 1200 miles away (we were only there for four days and ended up being the first house we looked at but toured over 50 homes) and when we finally made the big move and closed on it 2 months later three was a cherry, apple, and peach tree in full bloom.
Meg Woo says
JOSS ME! being broke but wanting a home where we can welcome people and it feel inviting…. when a family friend lent us his amazingly beautiful comfy couches! hello gatherings!
Kelsey says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest home decor moment was coming across a dresser while out running, I raced home to grab my car and husband went back and it was still there. When I got home I googled it and it retails for $1800!
frances says
JOSS ME!
Getting the call that our dream apartment was available right before signing the lease on a much darker, smaller and more expensive place.
Candice Sewell says
Joss me!
stephanie says

I lucked out in having a husband who is incredibly handy and loves to DIY!
Megan Wood says
JOSS ME! snazzing up a rental with 5 dollar vintage chairs from Salvation army! hey now
Carole White says
JOSS ME!
Our luckiest moment of home ownership was finding our home- we were renting a house & were starting to look at homes to buy, my husband told the AC repair guy we were looking to buy – the AC guy tattled to our landlord on us & next thing we know she was calling to tell us about a mini-farm with an amazing, partially renovated (but still needed more cosmetic work – perfect!) 70 year old farm house. It was exactly what we wanted – she hadn’t even put it up for sale yet & we saw it & closed & moved in less than 3 weeks later. That was 2 years ago next month. Also – our land has a detached garage & a barn – we’ve found so many treasures, like antique farm equipment, iron trellises, old pictures, mirrors and more in nooks & crannies. We’re in total home ownership L.O.V.E! Hoping to spruce up our upstairs that we’re remodeling with some Joss awesomeness!
Willow says
Joss ME!
Megan C W says
JOSS ME! finding the best “stick decor” on a walk with my baby…and they fit in my car!
Rebekah from SoCal says
JOSS ME!! Don’t have much home improvement experience, but I guess it’s pretty lucky that our apartment doesn’t have rats…
Meghan says
JOSS ME!!
My luckiest home improvement moment….let’s see. I had been wanting an armoire/hutch for a while so I looked around on craigslist. I knew God would help me find it! I spent a couple of days searching and one day, I found a hutch in good condition but ugly paint colors for only $25! My husband and I checked it out and we brought it home! We then sanded it, primed it, painted it a shiny semi-gloss black, and now it’s in our dining room displaying our china and fun dishes I find in thrift stores!
Jenn says
JOSS ME!
We found the house of our dreams the day we were going to put an offer on a different house…the house had just gone up that week. We have been happily living in our dream house for 5 months now :-)
Debi says
“JOSS ME!” Pretty please
kristi mcintyre says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest home improvement moment recently was when a dear friend of mine moved, she gave us a dresser, night table, & chest of drawers completely free, because she did not want to take them with her! I just fancied them up with a new coat of paint & now have some really great furniture that i love!
Amanda says
Joss Me!
Alas, I am still in a rental and living with cheap college furniture (despite no longer being an unemployed college student)… So no lucky home improvements for me, yet :)
Jen says
Joss Me please!
nina says
JOSS ME!
We did find a house we loved the first day it was on the market. There were no photos, so they had no bites. I scheduled a viewing for the next day. Pictures went up in the morning, I saw the house in the afternoon, and by the that night we had sent in an offer, negotiated the offer, and had an accepted offer! We moved in 3 weeks later. Pretty awesome. We moved from a small apt in Chicago, so now we need furniture :)
Dana says
Joss me!!!
My luckiest moment is my house itself. It was a HUD home that I bid on and lost. The first offer fell through and it was back on the market a few months later; I bid the same amount and got it. And I know it’s a little thing, but it had the perfect sized doggie door already for my best pal, Krypto.
Anne says
JOSS ME!
We scored after moving into a rental with plenty of charm but a lot of cleaning to do, when we uncovered an over-lacquered table in the basement. It’s now a lovely shade of green after some sanding, painting and sealing. A dining table for less than $30 worth of painting supplies!
