JOSS ME!… my luckiest moment has been my garage sale finds… the best was an estate sale for an elderly woman whose furniture was in mint condition for cheap!

JOSS ME!
I’ve found a ton of stuff at yard sales and craigslist. I’ve never purchased anything for more than $200 for our house!
Crystal W. says
JOSS ME!!
Crystal W. says
We are big on recycling/reusing items and have bought most of our furniture off of craigslist. We are expecting our first child this fall and I really want a rug to put down on our wood floors in the nursery. We scoped craigslist for a few months and nothing was looking good. My husband is adamant that we have a natural wool rug and the prices are pretty high. So while West Elm was having their recent rug sale I was able to convince my husband that the Sweater Rug met all of our criteria and will look awesome in our neutral room, plus it was 20% off! It’s not the luckiest moment out there but a triumph for me!

My luckiest home find came this past year when my college roommates and I found a fantastic apartment to live in that was new, reasonably priced, and totally eco-sustainable in design. We love our place!
Hilary @Thistle Confections says
JOSS ME!
Luckiest moment ever was finding a new bathroom vanity with a bowl sink at the Habitat Humanity repo depot. It was overstock and went to repodepot still in the box. We couldn’t have made a new one for cheaper.
Emily says
JOSS ME!!!
Amy says
Joss me!!!! We bought a 50’s ranch that hadn’t been updated since the 70’s… and when I ripped up the stinky, green carpet in our bedroom I found freshly refinished hardwood floors. Aah, small victories.
bdaiss says
Joss me!
I’m afraid lately I haven’t had much luck in the home department…just lots of hard work and bloody knuckles. Boo. So lend me some luck!
Sara says
JOSS ME!
I am lucky to have inherited an antique small bookshelf with 4 shelves. It’s just big enough to hold a lot and small enough to not take up too much space in my cozy house. I sanded it and refinished it. Pretty!
Lauren says
Joss ME!!!
Andrea says
JOSS MEE!!!
Brooke says
JOSS ME! Our luckiest moment is when we canceled our bid on another home and made a bid on our current home, the day it went on the market. We won and are loving living in our 1955 brick cottage, which I didn’t even see the inside of until after they accepted our offer!
Lexi says
JOSS ME!
HeatherMay says
JOSS ME!
One of my favorite furniture pieces was both a free curb find and a nice surprise! My husband rescued, smuggled in and set up a beautiful multi-level shoe rack for our tiny apartment- all while I was at the grocery store! It is the perfect thing (at the right price) to keep our room shoe-clutter free and stylish!
Allison says
JOSS ME!!! My luckiest moment was the buyer accepting my first offer on my first (and only) home! 9 years, marriage, child, and HUGE remodel later, buying the home was the easiest part!
Cara says
JOSS ME!
In our last apartment before buying a house, the previous tenant left a gorgeous solid mahogany buffet. It was too heavy for her to move, and she said she didn’t want it anymore. Two houses later, my husband and I still have it!
Courtney says
JOSS ME please!
I just signed up last week…loving them!
Katelyn says
JOSS ME!
We are a military family who prefer to live on base when possible (it’s just more convenient for us.) We are moving 2000 mi in one month and we already know we’ll have a house as soon as we get there (waiting lists can be up to 3 months.) Plus, they didn’t have any two bedrooms available (two bedroom is all thats allotted our family of three) so we get the three bedroom we really wanted.
Carrie says
Joss me!
So far, the luckiest has been that the wallpaper in three rooms turns out to be high-quality linen stuff that ripped right off in big sheets. :-)
suzi says
JOSS ME
We found a dream home the first day we looked. A year later, it is about halfway renovated, but we are so lucky in our find!
Jessica Matthews says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest moment in home decorator-ship was the time I found a set of 4 bertoia-style chairs for $150 on craigslist. Pretty good deal!
Catherine M says
JOSS ME!
I found a late 18th century antique wood table with gorgeous bowed legs and a red leather gold embossed top in perfect condition (with mild wear) thrown on its side on the grass next to the trash bin three houses down from my mother’s house…. Can you still hear my tires screeching to a stop?! Haha, I love that table, it’s my most treasured antique! You can see it in this blog post:http://inspirebohemia.blogspot.com/2010/04/good-day-im-back.html
Have a great day!
Catherine
Amber says
JOSS ME! My “joss” moment was finding our gorgeous nursery furniture on Craigslist for our first son, Jude, for 400 hundred bucks! (Crib, dresser, changer) THEN nearly 1 1/2 years later finding out I was pregnant with our second son, Titus and finding the EXACT same set on Criagslist again! Identical bedroom sets, craigslist prices, years apart…score!
Melissa says
JOSS ME!!!
My luckiest home moment happened about four months ago, when we found the house of our dreams on the market as a short sale. It’s a been a long process, but we are preparing to close on the home next week and we couldn’t be luckier or happier!
Jennifer Gessner says
JOSS ME!!!!
My luckiest moment would be when we purchased a chair from World Market that we loved then over a year later decided that we wanted to make it pair and we found one (it was discontinued) about an hour from our house. It was the LAST one in the entire area…and we got it!
Brianne says
JOSS ME!
My husband and I wanted to add more cabinets to our kitchen, which was built in the 50’s. We went to a reuse center where they sell fixtures they pull out of houses and found cabinets that matched! We installed them and they looked like they had always been there!
Rachel A. says
JOSS ME!
Elaine says
JOSS ME!
I found our house about 5 days after it went on the market by just driving by it and seeing the for sale sign!
Wendy L says
JOSS ME!!
My luckiest moment is finding pedastals for my washer and dryer for $7 each on clearance at Lowe’s. Those things are $150 each! They changed item numbers so the old item numbers were clearanced even though they were exactly the same!
Jocelyn says
JOSS ME!!! Funny my name is Jocelyn and ppl call me “Joc” pronounced “Joss”! hehe. Love you guys! You are truly inspiring! I have a looong list of DIY projects to do thanks to you guys… my husband rolls is eyes every time I add to the list!
Sarah says
joss me please!
Meggan says
JOSS ME! We found our dream home on the road we love just by chance. First day on the market, first at the open house and first offer! Funny enough, it had every single “want” on our list. I really believe if you say it or write it down and be patient, it will come to you at the right time.
laura A says
JOSS ME!!
luckies moment was finding $300 in a piece of furniture the old home owners left behind :)
Denise says
JOSS ME! It was pretty lucky (joss-y?) when I told my hubby to keep his eyes peeled for a coffee table when he’s out thrifting, and then our neighbors put the perfect one out for curb pick-up with a matching end table. (And seriously, they’re not trashy! They were just too big for their place.)
Amanda says
JOSS ME! I got lucky by finding my perfect house the 1st time looking! It helped I had a real estate agent that knew exactly what I wanted!
Tracie says
Joss me!
My luckiest home improvement project was finding a mint condition MCM sidetable for three dollars. I love that table maybe more than I love anything living, but don’t tell my husband or dog, mmkay?
Lisa says
JOSS ME! I absolutely love the old mantel we found and put in our home. It completely changed the look of the living room.
Jaclyn says
“JOSS ME!”
My luckiest home improvement dealie was when I moved into my very first apartment, my grandparents gave me a TON of their old stuff. I’ve since replaced some of it but I’m still loving that fantastic corner shelf, and that coffee table will one day be turning blue and purple.
Jodi says
JOSS ME! We found our dream home 2 years ago on a golf course!
Elaine says
JOSS ME!
We were pretty lucky in getting $30k off asking price for our townhouse, but I think we were even luckier in snatching up an end unit, which makes the house feel SO much bigger!
Christine says
JOSS ME!!!!
Ashley says
JOSS ME, please!!!!!!!!!
michelle rosecrans says
joss me! my luckiest home improvement moment was a trash-day sidewalk find — a faux bamboo headboard. completely awesome!
