Alicia B. says
JOSS ME!
I just went to Good Will and scored! I inherited my mom’s wedding dish set and the week I went into the store there was a whole set there. Now I have twice what I had before and that is pretty lucky if you ask me.

Our townhouse came on the market the day before we started looking for a new place. It was in the perfect location and was WAY less than all the others available at the time. Perfect timing!
Nicole says
JOSS ME!! I have had some luck with Craiglist – I have a great entryway table I snagged. But my favorite place to find treasures is HomeGoods clearance section. I always feel so lucky to find something I have been eyeing on clearance :)
Janet says

I got lucky when I started doing a cheap refresh project on our master bathroom.
I scored two awesome modern 3 light brushed nickel fixtures from the clearance section at Home depot for 26 beans each. As well as two large mirrors for over the sinks for 22 beans from the Homegoods clearance section. They Didn’t match but after a few coats of paint they look awesome.

Our luckiest home improvement moment was buying our current home. It was just right for us, but lacked off street parking but we decided to go for it anyways… We later tried to get a permit to install a parking pad and it was denied, but a neighbor sold us his garage!!! Sure it was falling apart, but we fixed and now we have the perfect house and a 2-car garage in the city!!!
Ashley Collevecchio says
JOSS ME!!!!!
Oddly enough I just came across the cutest little picture, as an inspiration for an office, on the packaging for a Trader Joe’s dark chocolate bar!! It’s whimsical and slightly surreal and the best part is it’s 4 inches by 3 inches. Can’t wait to find the perfect little frame for it!

The plans to buy our first home fell through after a very lengthy battle with a contractor. We ended up having to get a different house, but by the time we made the purchase, interest rates fell nearly 1% saving us a bundle!
Bekah says
Joss me! Luckiest moment was probably arriving at my step-mom’s garage sale when she and my dad were moving out of state, and seeing my favorite dresser set there on the lawn. 1940s Asian-inspired solid wood set – utterly fantastic and now living in my house!

JOSS ME!
My luckiest home improvement project was when hubby **finally** decided to let me tackle our kitchen cabinets with paint and he actually loved the final result! No idea why it took him so long to get on board.
Nikki says
Oops! My cox account was just closed – it’s at gmail now! Thanks :)

My luckiest find was finding a long-lusted-for table my wife had been wanting and surprising her with it. I hope I can surprise her with this too!!!
Christina says
JOSS ME!
More Divine Intervention than luck, I believe, but we found a great home meeting most of our requirements (and the list is plentiful when you have 7 kiddos) that had only been on the market 4 days. They accepted our offer and then we turned around and sold ours in just a couple of weeks…didn’t even list it, no sign in the yard, no updates or staging or anything. Good old word-of-mouth and one quick listing on Mr. Craig and we had a number of calls and boom. Gone. And closed in 3 weeks and moved in that time which included an Easter celebration, a weekend away, and a First Communion celebration. Seriously, EVERYTHING just fell into place!
Nik says
JOSS ME!
We just bought a house so my luckiest moment would be winning this to fill up our new place.
psst: pick me, pick me!!! lol ;)
Amy D says
Joss Me! I just bought a house and happened upon it before it went to a realtor, so it was a quick seller to buyer sell instead of going through the additional craziness of a realtor. I’d say that’s pretty lucky!
tiffany a. says
JOSS ME… I was so lucky to have the prettiest chest passed down from my grandmother to my mom and now me. It’s beautiful and vintage… this chest means so much to me!
Corinne says
JOSS ME! In anticipation of another baby, we found a 3 bedroom house to rent that was perfect. The morning after the find, we submitted the application, and were cleared to move in by 5pm that same day. The next morning, I found out I was pregnant!
Robin says
Joss Me! :) Our luckiest thing yet is the house we have been pin on needles about it selling before we got a chance on it went into foreclosure last week while we got an offer on our home! The kicker? We are now getting it for 30k less than their short sale price :)
So excited for our kids and hounds to have a place to run around
Katie Bradley says
JOSS ME!!
I inherited a vintage silver orb overhanging lamp!
Michele says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest moment so far? Ditching a house we were under contract on (because of the shady dealings of the listing agent and seller) and found our DREAM HOUSE two days later!
Elva says
JOSS ME!!! I was lucky enough to rent a brand new (never lived in) 3 bedroom 2 1/2 town home for $400/mo for over 3 years! I only moved out because I relocated to a new city.
Leigh Ann says

I found allll of my bedroom furniture either on the side of the road (on neighborhood bulk trash day!) or in an estate sale. My favorite find is a fabulous retro chair that I reupholstered (not myself – I wish, but I DO aim to try that someday) in a great, large-print houndstooth. It’s a fan fave all around. Super comfy too!
Missy says
JOSS ME! This is awesome!

Joss me! I have two rad vintage wingback chairs that I inherited from my grandmother. She was a pretty classy lady, and I love to sit in them!
Debra says
JOSS ME!!
My luckiest home improvement moment was when I married a carpenter :-)
Karen says
Joss Me!
I don’t know if this counts as luck, but I’d always said I wanted a house with gates. When it came time to buy, the house was owned by a couple named Gates. Memo to self: always be SPECIFIC when stating what you want!
Katie Beth says

My parents were getting rid of one of their patio tables just as I needed one for our new patio.
Carrie says

My husband and I were lucky when the first house we say with our Realtor was the one we fell in love with and we got it! :)
Chris says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest moment has yet to happen yet… newly-wedded, living in an apartment and looking forward to home ownership when the time is right… and hoping for lots of luck when that time comes!
April W. says
Joss Me! My luckiest was finding ratty Craigslist chairs and having them re-upholstered for free into gorgeous turquiose beauties!

We lucked out on our house find. Just 1 month after we purchased our home, my parents bought the one 2 doors down. Lucky for our 4 kids to be able to run through the neighbor’s yard to grandma’s!

I’m lucky that my landlords haven’t raised my rent since I moved in!

JOSS ME!
I love the antique furniture that has been passed down through my family. Being able to inherit beautiful pieces was very special to me.
Jasmine says
Joss me! PU-LEeeeezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Dan says
JOSS ME! I think my luckiest moment was finding my living room rug (7 x 10) at all places, Home Depot. Had been searching everywhere and not even sure what brought me to Home Depot, but once I saw it, I knew it was the right one…plus, I got it for just under $120!

The luckiest thing that has happened to us recently is the fact that we DIDN’T buy a beautiful turn of the century home a few months ago. See, I live in Minot, North Dakota, where we had epic flooding this past month. The house we were going to buy is now a shell of itself, all woodwork, built-ins, and orginal hardwood floors ripped out and sitting on the curb. Our apartment was not spared either, we live on a second floor apartment and we got about 4 feet of water. This would be so nice to have to replace so much of what we lost, which is a lot.
June says
Joss me! I have been super lucky on Craigslist – I usually buy from the nicest people, people I’ve never met but want to be friends with.
