JOSS ME! My luckiest moment was after months of searching for the perfect daybed to use as a couch I stumbled upon one in the GW (Goodwill!) for $40 AND I had a 20% off coupon. OH HAPPY DAY!!

My lucky moment came during an unlocky moment. We had nails hammered into our drain pipe and one day when I drained the tub, all the water came into our dining room. We called the contractor who was in charge of laying the floor in the bathroom (where the nails went into the pipe) and he came out and fixed everything for us for FREE! Talk about lucky!

JOSS ME!!!
My lucky story definitely has to do with our current home. We do not own it and it in now way is our dream home. In fact it is a doll house that we have out grown the space in the short year we have lived hear. So what is so lucky you ask? One is that we signed the lease two days before we were going out of the country on vacation and would return to being homeless and second is the magical back yard! At the time, we had two 3 month old puppies and the outdoor space (which doubled the inside) was the perfect fit. Last but not least, it is the house that we lived in when we got married and that first place together is always magical!!My hubs and I thank our lucky stars every day for this house!!
Christina says
JOSS ME! My luckiest home improvement moment isn’t really a moment. It’s more like the ongoing fact that I have the most helpful and generous father in the world who is constantly helping me with projects around the house. :)

JOSS ME!!
My luckiest house moment is that my husband works for the land development company that owns the house we rent. It’s going to be torn down in few years to make way for the development so I can do whatever I want to it until then!

My luckiest moment in home improvement is when I built built ins and they actually turned out amazing! Not that I had doubts but I might have a little, when I saw the big hole that I had cut in the wall!

My luckiest piece of furnature was a free crib from my sister-in-law. She just happened to be getting rid of it soon after we found out that we were pregnant. We scooped it up before we even told her the good news!
Lauren S says
Joss Me…My lucky moment was finding our blog and realizing just how much I could DIY in my house. My family and friends tend to think it’s better to buy something pre made or hire someone but the hubs and I wanted to DIY as much as we can and I get a lot of inspiration/encouragement from seeing what you accomplish!
Sean says
Joss Me!
Definitely luckiest moment when I snagged my husband :)
Sherri says
JOSS ME!!!
This might sound silly, but I think my luckiest home improvement moment in this current home has been living in it for almost four years before doing anything MAJOR to it, design wise. It’s made us realize what we love (and don’t love) about it. We know it’s light, we know it’s feel, and now we can really put our touch on it and make it our own. Starting with the pinterest challenge!!!
Cecilia says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest home improvement moment was when I had been searching for months for the perfect living room window treatments. I finally found them buried in the back of a different display on clearance!
Claire says

We had amazing luck while searching for a new dining set. We fell in love with a gorgeous espresso colored set from Crate and Barrel. Sadly, it was out of our price range. Several days later, while surfing on Craigslist I found the exact same set at a fraction of the cost! It was only a year old and about 70% cheaper than had we bought it new. Score!
Emily G says
JOSS ME! My luckiest moment was finding the perfect spray paintable student desk at the local re-use store!

JOSS ME!!!
Lenalaire says
Oh. Wow. JOSS ME!
My (most recent) luckiest home moment was walking into the foyer of my last home and asking for the offer paperwork. I think I made it three feet beyond the door and I just knew! That house was my joy for over 5 years until a job change took me to my next city. Still waiting for my next lucky moment, but I know it’ll happen.
Autumn says
Joss Me!! Our best find was our wood dresser for the nursery–$100 at a consignment shop, marked down from $279, and it came with a mirror we plan on selling on craigslist so it’ll make the total even lower. It is the peeeerfect piece–exactly what I was looking for and in great condition.

My luckiest moment in our home was when my fiance proposed in it!
Courtney Mora-Ludwig says
JOSS ME ! I live about 3.5 hours away from an IKEA store. I love IKEA so much that I sat outside for their grand opening in AZ. Well, I have been looking for a table and chairs for my twins… on a garage sale budget. I hadn’t been very lucky until about a month ago. My friend was at the Goodwill store in town. She found an IKEA table (red) and two chairs (one blue and one green) for a total of $13. I told her to buy it and bring it over !!! The extra bonus ?? My twins are color coded blue and green. So Sammy takes his blue sippy cup and sips in his blue chair while Jason sits in the green chair with his green sippy cup. (Yes I have blue and green plates,spoons and forks too. We used to have bottles and binkies but we are past that stage now.) Well that’s my find. We are renting and can’t do much with the apartment but I try.

Our dining room table and chairs my husband picked up from a yard sale in college for $50. They’re from the 40’s or 50’s, solid wood, and awesome!
Jill says

Joss Me! My luckiest home improvement was DIY burlap curtains for our screen porch. Super easy and we love them!
Catherine says
Joss me!
We found our dream home the first day it was on the market and they accepted our offer right away!
Nicole B. says
JOSS ME!
I would have to say that my greatest home “find” would be my dining room table and chairs that I scored on Craigslist. The previous owner had it custom-made and it’s just beautiful!
Courtney says
Joss Me!
Vicky says
Joss me. My luckiest deal was when we got our Asian inspired floor lamp for $25 on clearance at Pier1. We also got our massive decorative bookshelf for $150 since it was partly the display and they didn’t want to disassemble it.
Amber says
JOSS ME!!! What a fun site!
I love the feeling of scoring a knockoff design item for next to nothing. After lusting over expensive catalogs, finding a piece that has the same look for a TWENTIETH of the price makes a girl feel savvy :)
Joellen Jeffers says
JOSS ME!
ONE of my luckiest moments was spying a Henredon vintage couch for sale on the side of the road for $50! It is in retro oranges & browns and is the focal piece of my living room.
Shannon says
Joss me! – we were driving around the area of homes we LOVE about a month ago, and spotted a portable moving container (pod) in front of the most beautiful house. Chatted with the owners and found they were listing the house the following week! Needless to say, we bought the house before it ever hit the market!!!! Yay!!!
Jessica says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest home improvement moment? That’s tough. Unlucky I can do… Oh, got it! This isn’t so much home improvement as acquiring the actual home. Our budget was tight, and after months of looking we found a home where the owner needed to sell fast. He lived out of state and wanted to use the money from selling this “extra home” to buy his newly married daughter a new home in their state. With homeless newlyweds keeping the clock ticking loudly, he sold us the house for $20,000 under the appraised value. Houses with similar floor plans in the same neighborhood were easily going for $15,000 more. Plus he was sweet and great to work with. We secretly referred to him as Ned Flanders.
Erin says
Joss Me! Still waiting for my lucky home improvement here! lol ( I guess it could be my husband, since he’s pretty darn handy around the house)
Amy says
JOSS ME!
I am so unlucky in home improvement it’s not funny. I wanted a certain mirror and it came up on a flash sale site…I jumped on it and it got smashed in shipping! AHHH! I did find a great green chair at Home Goods once that I LURVE that I use in many different places throughout my home…it’s like the Where’s Waldo of furniture! : )
Lacey P says
JOSS Me…we stumbled across our house when we were going to an open house for another listing one street over. It had been on the market previously when we weren’t looking and they had just re-listed it when we accidently took that (right) wrong turn. Lucky for us, they also had significantly dropped the price. Yay us!
Mandee says
JOSS ME!
our luckiest home improvement experience was picking the right paint colors on the first try! we always get complimented on our paint choices! :)
Bre says
JOSS ME! My luckiest home moment was when I found out I won the bid on my home by $100!
carla says
Joss Me!!
I always feel very lucky when any of my ideas for a DIY home improvement project works out. :) And of course the less expensive I can accomplish them the better . We bought our dream home in the tune of a 150 year old Victorian home that we are working on and I feel very lucky.
Becca says
JOSS ME! I haven’t had many lucky finds as far as home improvements…but I hope to have some in the future!

JOSS ME! I found a house i LOVED (after looking at 60-70 of them!) and got it for really cheap!
Stephanie says
JOSS ME!
I have terrible luck. If it wasn’t for bad luck, I wouldn’t have any. BUT, I suppose being able to borrow my grandmother’s sewing machine was super lucky for my need to decorate. Notice I said decorate…not RE-decorate. Hooray for $5 pillows!
Jess says
JOSS ME!!!
Our luckiest moment was when we bought our house 3½ years ago….and closed on it just 1 day before the new government mortgage rules wouldn’t have allowed us to buy at all.
