    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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)

    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!
