My luckiest home improvement moment is having a landlord who is totally chill with us changing things and lending us his ladder.
Denise says
JOSS MEEEEEEEE!
Katie says
JOSS ME! I got pretty lucky when I decided that I didn’t just want to do one wall in the kitchen with our custom ordered tile backsplash, but wanted to do two. My Hubby and I literally had only one tile left over and were able to wrap the backsplash all of the way around the kitchen. Yay for last minute design changes that can actually be accommodated!
Rebecca says
My luckiest home improvement moment was finding an antique small dresser on the side of the road, waiting for the garbage men to come collect it. After asking the owners of the house and securing it in my trunk, I phoned my Grandfather – I had just moved into my first apartment, and he had been eager to help me get settled. My Grandfather taught me how to re-finish the beautiful piece of furniture, and not only did I end up with a beautiful new piece of furniture for my apartment, but I also got to spend some quality time with Grandfather, working on something together.

My luckiest house moment was selling my house this spring, in the worst market possible. In the spirit of keepin’ it real, I had to get away from my psycho neighbor. It was bad, yo. Now, I’ve been taking a pass on home improvement in my great little rental townhouse, but I’m not averse to random shopping for home furnishings.
Brandy @midcenturymodernlove says
michelle…we are in a very similar situation and hoping to get our other house sold in this awful market. please send some of your good luck our way!

Angela says
JOSS ME! I like to get lucky at Home Goods.
Allison says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest home moment was actually when our offer wasn’t accepted for the first house that we bid on. It was a blessing in disguise because we are so much happier in the house that we ended up in!

Carrie says
JOSS ME!
Truth is I have horrible luck. But I did look at my house the day after it went on the market. In an ice storm. IT wasn’t my dream house but it was the house that was meant for me.
I may not have good luck but I have a slew of funny stories! Well, they are funny now. :)
Barbara says

Jen says

JOSS ME! Still hoping for my lucky moment, actually – been in our house a year and a half, but haven’t had the time/money to spend yet…working on that soon!
Kimberly says
JOSS ME!
Our luckiest home find was our bedroom furniture. A friend of my fiance’s was going to TOSS furniture in great condition (and…ugly). With a few coats of paint and new hardware, we have amazing furniture!
Ashley @ Simply Creative Things says
Joss me! My lucky find was finally coming across a comforter that I liked for my guest bedroom. I was waiting on the perfect inspiration to pick a paint color!
shara says
joss me! :)
the house we wanted went back on the market after the first contract fell through… and we snatched it up for wayyyyyyyyy less than the asking price!
Amanda says
JOSS ME!
My mom is an interior decorator who works part-time is a wonderful fabric and furnishing store and knows all of the coolest places to by home items on the cheap, so I guess the fact that she is mother is my big home improvement score!
Ashley says
JOSS ME!!
I think the luckiest house related thing we’ve had happen was finding & buying our house that was ‘for sale by owner’. Easiest house buying experience ever – I would gladly leave all the middlemen out if we buy again ;D
Tejal says
Joss Me!! my luckiest home moment has to be when I found a $300 table I had been eyeing for a while for $100
Katherine says

For me it was recent. I replaced the pressure valve in a Moen faucet in my kids bath. My husband wanted to help. He ended up pulling only part of it out. It was ugly. Blame thrown to both parties (we are not DIY compatible). I managed to get the stuck part out with a ginormous threaded bolt (the part was plastic, thank God) and put the new part in. It worked great. My husband spent the next day telling everyone at work what a plumbing genius I was.

….and our luckiest moment was closing on our home the very day our moving truck made it into town so they could move our things right in!
Kristin Johnson says
Joss me!
When I moved into my house, my superintendent for my builder gave me a custom door cause he had an accidental double shipment! I guess that would be my lucky moment…I definitely dont have many.
Libby says
JOSS ME!
I’m currently in the midst of my luckiest home moment. About to close next week – My husband and I did, in fact, find our home the day it went on the market. We’d been looking for quite some time for a home with very specific qualities and this home fit nearly every one!
Katie P says
JOSS ME!!
My luckiest home decorating incident was when I bought an Ikea rug. I had my eye on the Alvine Ruta rug … as in, drooling over it for months while saving up for it. When I finally made it to Ikea they were all out and only had the display – I decided to ask anyhow to see if they had more, and they told me I could have the display rug since it was the last one left and they think it will be discontinued. Score! The rug was just highlighted on Design Sponge this morning, too!
Amber says
“JOSS ME”
My best home luck is finding my home. It was my first time leaving the nest, and I got the house that I wanted.
Erin says
JOSS ME!
Luckiest moment was the armoire we scored at a furniture sale for our front room. It was 60% off! It also has tons of storage and hides all our media equipment.
Gaelle says
“JOSS ME!”
Haven’t been so lucky with the house itself, but we’re working on making a house a home, and that’s all that matters…
Melissa says
JOSS ME!
Elizabeth says
JOSS ME!!
My luckiest moment was finding my house just in time for my baby to be born (we moved 3 weeks before he was born)!
Beth says
JOSS ME!
Hmmmm, bad luck lately (our house flooded while we were honeymooning, YIKES!) but a year ago I had good decor luck- I love musicals and stumbled upon a Phantom of the Opera poster signed by the entire Broadway cast in a thrift store, $2! Looked it up online and it would retail for hundreds! :)
Jennifer says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest moment was scoring a credenza off of craigslist for $30 bucks! A coat of white paint later, it is my favorite piece in the house :)
Christy C says
JOSS ME! My luckiest home find came this past weekend. I managed to buy two brand new 4 in 1 cribs for just $80 a pop! I’m having to learn to be thrifty with the dynamic duo on the way!
Tanya Quinlan says
Joss Me!
My luckiest moment was finding out that my office was relocating and my employer was giving away our computer desks for free. I had just gotten married and had about 2 pieces of furniture (bed and couch) so getting a computer desk for free was awesome.
Nicole says

Melanie Simko says
JOSS ME! We sold our first house (by ourselves) in less than a week for our asking price!

My luckiest moment happened when we found our dream starter home only days before the $8000 tax credit expired. We were able to negotiate and sign the contract in a matter of 4 days and were able to use the $8000 from the government to furnish our new home!
Rachel says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest home improvement moment was finding the bookshelf that I really wanted, but did not want to pay for, sitting on the curb for free, waiting for me to pick it up.
McCaulie says
JOSS ME!!
Oh-em-gee I would totally love to win this!! My luckiest moment in home ownership is when we found a KILLER deal on brick pavers for our patio – they make the backyard so beautiful!
