JOSS ME!!!!
Crystal Rodgerson says
JOSS ME :-)
Our luckiest moment was finding our first home just in the nick of time and being able to close on it a week before our wedding!
Rachel says
JOSS ME! We just found beautiful maple wood under the cookie monster carpet on the stairs in our “new” home. Sooo excited!
Anne says
JOSS ME! I’m lucky because my parents house was like a mid century furniture museum growing up in the 70’s and they keep handing me stuff. :-0
Rebecca says
JOSS ME!! :)
Luckiest moment?..Having a fabulous mother come help decorate our new apartment when I was 7 months pregnant. Oh and did I mention she can do anything!! :)
Ashley says
Joss Me!
I always love a good find at a flea market or garage sale…my best has to be a vintage (ca. 1950) avocado green arm chair with great upholstery nail details rescued from a dumpster and passed on from friend to friend during moves.
Melissa {The Dominion Project} says
JOSS ME!! I can think of about 1,000 things I need for my house from Joss & Main!
Cassandra says
Joss me! I found an awesome roll top desk on the side of the road for free. I’ve had it for years and just refinished it!
Stacy says
JOSS ME! My luckiest moment is the fact that we have lived in the same house since 1990 and still love it–hope we never have to move!
Alisa says
Joss Me!!!!
We got lucky when the realtor we were referred to was out of the office for the week and we ended up working with another guy in his office. This was only lucky because he was planning on selling his second house (he rented it out to family) the summer we were hoping to move so we were able to buy it directly from him, before it ever went on the market!
Kristen says
Joss Me!
Our luckiest home improvement item is a vintage chair that we were given for helping a friend move. Although the chair has an interesting orange and cream floral pattern, it is the focal point in our living room, and everyone who comes into our place loves it.
Erin says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest find was definitely my little house! It sat empty just around the corner from the house I was renting. It wasn’t even listed when I called a realtor and asked about it. It turned out to be cheap and ugly…but only needed surface work. That’s right up my alley! It has been the best thing that has ever happened to me.
Selena says
JOSS ME!
Kate P says
JOSS ME! My luckiest home improvement moment wasn’t finding the home of my dreams…but the man of my dreams. We moved from Virginia to Ohio and bought a 1950’s ranch that essentially hadn’t been updated since, well, 1950. In the last 18 months my husband has proven himself to be extremely handy as he gutted and turned our compartmentalized kitchen and living room into a great room, installed hardwood flooring and is currently updating our (no longer pink tiled) master bathroom.

Joss Me!!

JOSS ME!
Aliya says
JOSS ME! Luckiest home-related moment = figuring out how to rearrange a bedroom (and remove the light fixture on our ceiling fan) so we were able to keep our antique canopy bed in the guest room. This was when we had our first kiddo and had to do a bedroom switcheroo. It sounds WAY less exciting than it actually was!
Audrey M. says
Joss me!
A contract falling through on the first house of our dreams so that WE got to buy it!
Jennifer S. says
Joss Me! :D Please?
WE lucked out getting this house when we did. We sold our house a little over a year ago and weren’t quite ready…we thought with the market the way it was that it would take a while. Well, someone bought it and we had nowhere to go, we found this house and got in it within days of needing to be out. :whew: And they had just painted the whole interior of the house before we moved in, and the color isn’t bad! :whew again: hehehe…
Allison says
JOSS ME!
Found a huge antique metal rolling table at a neighbor’s garage sale! It was only $20 and once was a library table from the college I attended, which makes it even more special to me!
Kami says
I’m not sure if I’m very lucky….my luckiest moment might be when I find change in the wash. :)
Aubrey says
JOSS ME!! I wanted a gorgeous headboard at the thrift store, but it was $40 and I’m cheap. I waited for the color tag sale AND had a $5 off coupon and got my dream headboard for $15! Some white paint later it’s my favorite thing in the house.
Erin says
JOSS ME!
I’m glad that you asked us to say when we’ve been lucky – I’ve only been in our new home for 6 days and I keep thinking of how I’ve been unlucky (drunk carpenter, flooding washer, unskilled painter…) but really, I’ve been very lucky. I’m lucky that I get to own a home, live with my wonderful husband, nest for our baby together – and I’m lucky we got this home (put in an offer 2 hours after it went on the market), that we love the paint color (even if it is poorly applied), that my mom was able to come help me organize my new kitchen (she’s a genius!)… I’ve been very lucky. Thanks for encouraging me to focus on the good!
Mende says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest home moment came when after months & months of looking we finally came upon just what we wanted, went to look 1st day it was on market, made an offer & moved in a month later! Three years later I still am in total love with it.
Savannah says
Joss Me! We inherited an old wooden bed frame recently. We sanded it down, painted it white, and sanded it down again for a farmhouse/shabby chic look. LOVE it! It was the first piece of furniture we refinished and it turned out fab.
Jess kelly says
Joss me!
Stumbling on a 1970’s cocktail table inning condition for $28!
Leeanne says
Joss Me!!
Hand me down sofas from my BF that saved us MUCHO dinero!!
Virginia says
Joss me! Our luckiest moment was finding a gorgeous farm table for our dining room – the one we had been lusting over on the C&B website for months – at the outlet for FIFTY PERCENT OFF. In perfect condition too! I still get giddy when I look at it.
Lindsey says

JOSS ME. My husband’s grandparents happened to be ready to move off of the family farm right when we were ready to move back. We are now happily carrying on the family traditions while updating the interior.
Emillye J says

My luckiest home improvement moment is finding Young House Love! Why didn’t my search engine lead me to you back when we renovated our first home? Now we’re getting ready to close on our second fixer-upper… a fabulous 1950s ranch. We have a million plans and ideas we’ve picked up on your site, and we feel so capable and creative. So please keep your exceptional content coming! And thanks for the giveaway!

I recently found some cute patio chairs that were sold as a set for a great deal. The lucky part was that they were at a garage sale right across the street!

Stephanie says
JOSS ME!!!
Luckiest home moment was FINALLY finding a rental with one week remaining of having to be out of our old place and racing around to turn in the application and all other paperwork because there was another couple wanting to put in an application. We got it! Couldn’t be happier and are excited about our future here!
Suzy says
