    JOSS ME! My most recent lucky incident was when I found hardwood floors underneath the carpet in our bathroom. Yes I said bathroom! I still can’t understand why anyone would put carpet in a bathroom. Oh well. C’est la vie. Anyways, with refinishing and some marine poly they will be gorgeous.

    Found an awesome red upholstered chair at a Salvation army when I was high school. Threw it in the back of my VW rabbit and have had ever since. Has been re-upholstered with an updated but very spicy red fabric that brings a burst of color to my sons room. Love it!

    Joss me! I don’t know about luckiest, but we’re creating a nursery right now (from literally an empty white box) and I was able to score curtain fabric for about $50 to make two huge floor to ceiling panels. The colors are perfect, the pattern is exactly what I wanted, and for $50, you can’t beat it! I hemmed them myself using a borrowed sewing machine and leftover thread. Sweet!

    JOSS ME!! I’d have to say finding/purchasing my current house was a pretty sweet moment for me – I’d been looking at houses for months and even making offers, but nothing would ever pan out. Then, my cousins decided to sell their adorable 1926 house complete with barns and huge trees – and I got it!!

    This is the best giveaway ever!!!! We bought our house for a great price and we got the $8000 tax credit. We also had a huge hail storm in OKC 2 years ago that busted out 12 windows. We had been remodeling our house for a little over a year at that time and had already ordered new windows anyways. So then insurance paid for some of them after the hail storm. Whahooo!!!!

    Our best home improvement moment was when we replaced the entire first floor with wood (living room) & tiles (kitchen) because when we first bought our first home, it needed some MAJOR TLC! The floor was the first thing that had to GO! It was smelly, gray with marker stains (it was supposed to be pure white carpet), and in a terrible condition…… now we are blessed with our new floor! :D Best decision/project ever!

    My luckiest home improvement moment was when we tore the carpet up in our master bedroom, we found BEAUTIFUL hardwood floor that didn’t need to be refinished! We were expecting to have to buy new carpet but we are ecstatic that it is hardwood flooring like the rest of the house!
    Thank you for this contest, we would love to have $500 to buy accessories with for our new house! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
