My luckies moment was the wondow treatments I got on sale.
Tanya says
JOSS ME!
One of my luckiest moments was coming home for a quick lunch and finding the across-the-street landlord threw out some ugly red wicker chairs. Spray painting them white, finding a cute $12 wicker table and $$$ cushions made a beautiful addition to our back patio.
Corina Powell says
JOSS ME! I scored a great old little side table from an estate sale, and I love it!!

JOSS ME!
My luckiest moment was when I found the Pottery Barn rug I’d been stalking for months for half off at the outlet on the day that rugs were an extra half off the ticketed price. SCORE!

Joss me! The luckiest moment in home ownership was getting our vintage couch for free.
Lauren T. says
JOSS ME!!
I don’t have much luck when it comes to home improvements. If it can go wrong, it usually does. However, seeing your spraypainting adventures inspired me to spray paint some old vent covers that were custom sized and thus saved me mucho bucks! I guess it was lucky I was reading your blog that day :)

JOSS ME!
Kimberly says
JOSS ME! My luckiest home moment was finding a renter for my old condo, so my hubby and I could more easily afford our new place. Let’s hope the renter wants to stay a few years while the market recovers!
beth says

Megs says
JOSS ME!
We found a 4 piece leather couch set in the EXACT PERFECT color (sort of a weird rust/cinnamon color we couldn’t find in any store) on Craigslist a while back. Hardly ever sat on, for only $500 bucks! This was over a year ago, and we still get giggly about our amazing find.
Tracy says
Joss me!
I lucked out every time I take the chance ordering something online and it actually looks good! The area rug in our living room was the best.
Robyn says
My luckiest home improvement moment came when our ikea sideboard fit *2* spaces in our house perfectly! Now we can swap and rearrange at will!
Breanna says
JOSS ME.
My favorite/luckiest home item is a vintage 1960s couch that is 8′ long and perfect for napping that my grandparents gave to me after expressing interest in it.
Meghan says
JOSS ME!
I found our first home the second it went on the market via Mr Lister one morning at work. I was able to get the contact information of the owner, who then said it wasn’t supposed to be listed yet and he took it off the market. But since I had already contacted him, he allowed me to view the house and by the time it officially went on the market, we already had a contract!

JOSS ME!
Finding potential in a fixer-upper because we loved the neighborhood and the size of the yard (the inside can always be fixed, right?!)
Kaitlin says
JOSS ME! Ohhh their stuff is soo cute!
Cindy says
Joss Me!
I just love this armor unit that was given to my mother in law from a friend then passed on to us. It has beautiful designs on the door that open up for you to display things and a nice size drawer to hide things. It has great wood working detail and more. Just gorgeous.

Luckiest moment is finding my dog Hercules at the Humane Society shelter. Lucky for him it is. No-kill shelter…cause he was there for nearly two years! And lucky fir me that we adopted him (instead of any other dog) cause I think he is just the BEST dog ever!
Liz H. Nunez says
Joss me!!!!MY best home imporvement moments have been many, everything in my home is from the thrift store and I love the look!!!! I am proud that I did not buy anything new!
Emily says
JOSS ME!
I’m in the middle of painting my kitchen cabinets…all by myself…first major project I’ve tackled ALL BY MYSELF…and so far no major screw-ups! That’s luck! And amazing talent. ;)
Liz says
JOSS ME!
My Mom loves to sew. My husband and I plan to get pregnant in the next year or two. So I have been discussing baby fabrics and themes with my Mom! I can’t wait to have a piece of Grandma to be a part of my baby’s life.

JOSS ME!
I think my luckiest find was at a yard sale last summer. My husband and I are newly married and had recently moved into our first house from an apartment. It’s a rental but still exciting! I wasn’t looking for anything inparticular…just furniture in general to fill space! I found an amazing antique vanity at a STEAL of a price. After searching on the internet I felt comfortable enough to refinish it myself and it has made a great addition to our bedroom!

My luckiest moment was getting my offer in on my condo 15 min. before anyone else, just a day after it was listed.
Rachel says
Joss Me!
After being cursed with hideous neighbors at the three places we lived in California, we were so lucky when we bought our first house in St Paul, MN and discovered that we lived in a wonderful neighborhood with lots of great neighbors!
Jeanne says
Joss Me!!! I found my home was MY HOME the moment we stepped out of the car. The land was spectacular! The house was..ok, but the location was grand!
Dana says
JOSS Me!!!
I’d have to say my luckiest home moment to date was being able to get out of our old lease and move into a newer, bigger townhouse that costs less and is in a better area. We just moved two months ago and since we have way more space, we need to work on furnishing it. A shopping spree at Joss & Main would definitely help.
Susan C says
Joss me!
Years ago, I picked up a Danish teak Hans C. Andersen side table at a yard sale for ten bucks. I loved it, but it didn’t really go with my traditional decor. After I started spending more time at boyfriend’s house, I pulled out the piece and offered it to him to go between a pair of Danish teak Z chairs. Perfect fit! He loves it so much that he’s trying to score another one on ebay, but they sell for more than $250.
Leanne says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest home improvement moment was meeting the man of my dreams who not only hunted for a home with me, but helps me work on my never ending list of home improvements!

Almost anytime I’m at a small country auction, I luck out and find some amazing pieces for cheap.

Brianne says
JOSS ME, PLEASE!!!
I’m excited to say that I totally got lucky by finding a huge, affordable condo to rent (which I LOOOVE) in Northern Virginia, and my commute to work will be less than 30 minutes. That combination just doesn’t exist up there. Now I just need stuff to fill the space. Joss & Main here I come!
Renee says
JOSS ME!
H’mmm….buying my house (a foreclosure) and finding hardwood floors under the nasty, dirty carpet.
Kelly B says
JOSS ME!!
Stumbling across a huge rack of FLOR tiles on super clearance at Target, that just happened to go with our color scheme perfectly, just a few weeks after moving into our first house!

I’m just lucky my grandpa is a contractor. He’ll help us with any home improvement project we tackle. For free! The day we bought our house he knocked down a wall for us to open the kitchen & living room.
Katie N. says
JOSS ME! I’m not generally very lucky – my luckiest moment would be winning this prize!
Sherri says
JOSS ME!
Joss moment- getting 3 offers on our house in one day :)
jess says
JOSS ME! We were completely lucky to view the home across from my boyfriend’s best friend of 25+ years the weekend after it went on the market- submitted an offer that Monday, had to re-submit highest and best due to the competition (there were 9 showings that day) and found out our second offer was accepted Tuesday. It was the happiest moment of my life (so far!). Lots of happy tears! We were so lucky and 16 months later after the purchase and renovation, I couldn’t be more excited about it~!
Laura says
Joss me!!!
When my husband and I were looking for our first house, we had a very limited budget. We had been looking for what seemed like forever, and everything we found was both too expensive and in such bad shape that it it was unliveable. One day we came across a house that was 10 times better than the others and at the bottom of the price range- we made an offer that day and have loved our house ever since!
Newness says
JOSS ME!
My most recent lucky moment was discovering my friend had tons (literally) of limestone all over her yard and she hates it! So I kindly took it off her hands and used it for some beautiful landscaping projects.
