Joss me!
Our luckiest moment was finding the house we bought about a year ago. We lost our first purchase due to the seller backing out the last minute. We started the search again and were about to give up after a while of looking again, at the last minute our realtor found our house listed the day it came on the market, with no pictures. We decided to go see it anyway and it was perfect for us! Better , bigger and cheaper than our first house we lost!
Laura says
JOSS ME!
We got lucky when we stumbled across our deserted home on family property, cleaned it out and we able to move in without having to buy it!
Chitch says
Joss Me!! I recently found a stack of vintage maps at an estate sale for only $4!! I love them!!
Teresa says
How did I almost miss this one?!
JOSS ME!
Best score: Pottery Barn Trestle table for 90% off at the outlet mall! They were all in boxes- I found out with the next catalog it had been discontinued for slight restyling. I’ve been collecting the accompanying chairs one at a time (I’m at 7!) since then for no less than 60% off, each.
Beth says

JOSS ME!
Luckiest moment was finding a a get outdoor patio set at our dumps swap shop.
April says
JOSS ME!!
I found a killer deal on my Crate and Barrel tight-backed sofa. I scoured Craigslist(for 5 months!) and found the sofa for $120 while it was still being sold in stores for over 2k! Yee-haw!
Emily says
Joss me!
Our patio table. I put it on our wedding registry from Crate and Barrel because I knew we’d get a discount on all the items after our wedding. When we winded down from all the wedding/honeymoon madness I looked at what we needed that we hadn’t gotten, unfortunately the $500 table did not make the cut. But when I went to the store to buy the remaining items our table was on clearance plus we got our discount so I paid $150 for our beautiful mosaic table!
sarajane says
JOSS ME!
My lucky find was a 16-drawer vintage, glass-fronted shirt cabinet from a local store in our basement when we moved in.
Sue says
JOSS ME!
I haven’t done a lot of big home improvement projects, but our new kitchen came out really beautiful! The built-in cabinets and dry bar in the dining room (across from the kitchen) pull it all together and I’m so glad we did it.
stephanie m. says
Joss me! My lucky find was when I was 12 a childrens armoire at a garage sale for $5. It has been in my mom’s house, my grandparents, my college apt and now my married house. and it’s still the first thing people comment on in my house. I love it!
Leanne says
JOSS ME!
Luckiest thing has to be some old family slides I found. I am having two of my grandparents put on stretched canvas to go over the fireplace. Instant art and instant love.
amanda says
Joss me!
I remember one time, when I was in high school, I was walking home from the library and found a $20 bill laying by a sewer drain! I felt like I won the lotto. I’m in the process of getting my first apartment, so I’d love to win this.

Jenna says

Elle says
Joss Me!
We’re still waiting on finding a much-coveted piece of original Stickley on the side of the road or at a yard sale for under ten bucks. A girl can dream, right?
ashley o says
JoSS Me!
My luckiest moment- moving into our first house with orange, green, yellow, and tan walls… all matching the decor we already had for that room! All the HGTV shows say to paint your house neutral… but I sure am glad our previous homeowners left all the color and that it went perfectly for us (only had to paint two room when we moved in)
Tari Anne says
JOSS ME!! My hubs and I JUST moved into our first house!! So I am just feeling really lucky all over for EVERYTHING I have right now–my health/body, my hubs, my family, my friends, our POOL (!!), our jobs….etc etc etc!
Katie says
our luckiest home improvement moment was when we demolished the hideous pink and white marble fireplace surround (complete with an electrical outlet in the middle of it) to find beautiful brickwork including an arched opening!
Haley says
I don’t own a home yet, but my greatest apartment improvement moment will be when I finish the never ending curtains project! Seriously these things take forever even given the fact that my mom helped me out!
Although we were very fortunate to be able to grab a great apartment before someone else snatched it up!
Caroline says
Joss Me!
Katie says
“JOSS ME!”
I have come across some amazing hand me downs from family and friends. Currently waiting to spray paint a beautiful mirror, too hot outside!
Kacie says
JOSS ME! Luckiest moment – an artist’s estate sale where we got a free (new & clean) couch, old windows, doors, art supplies, cooking utensils and more – and all for oh so very cheap. Jackpot!
ashley says
Joss ME!
My luckiest home improvement moment would be ripping up the shag carpet to discover hard wood in absolutely perfect condition.

Sara C. says

I just pulled up all the carpet in my house and replaced with a really nice wood laminate. I happened into a local flooring store and got an amazing deal on the flooring.

JOSS ME!!
We’ve gotten so lucky with thrifty finds from Diversity. We’ve scored bedside tables and an antique desk with great bones that I ended up painting bright yellow. I love that place.
El says
JOSS ME!
Still waiting to get lucky when it comes to the home improvement side of things. Seems things never go easy there.
Sara says
“JOSS ME!” Our 1st house sold in less than a week so we were on a fast and furious home hunt. We made 3 offers and lost homes. Finally the house of our dreams hit the market we were the first people through it and had an offer signed by the end of the day!!! Yeah!!
Ashley C. says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest moment was being able to buy the house my husband grew up in.
Tineke Galvan says
Joss Me!
I ordered some overpriced baskets, although totally adored, for around my house and after a crazy amount of time, trouble, etc. they sent me an extra one for FREE!!! Although I still feel like they were too expensive I smile whenever I see them.
