Joss me!! I have found almost all of the furniture in my house at thrift stores and in the alleys of St. Louis, and consider all of my finds to be the best, most serendipitous things!

My best home improvement story —-I got a sweet deal on replacing the carpeting in our home that was up for sale. The house sold the next week and our family was united under one roof. Sort of corny but true
Allison L. says
Joss Me Please!
I got pretty darn lucky in finding my house the first weekend it was on the market and putting in an offer during that first week. Since I’ve gotten the house, I’ve had numerous people tell me they were hoping to bid on the house, but it was snatched up before they even had a chance! :)
Samantha Hunt says
JOSS ME!

We put an offer on our house the first day we went househunting. Luckily it was accepted! ; )

Molly says
JOSS ME!
Our luckiest home improvement moment was this past weekend. About a year after we bought our house, we replaced the flooring in our kitchen, living room, and entryway. We didn’t know what we wanted to do with the three bedrooms, so we left the grungy carpet, thinking we’d someday get around to replacing the flooring. Three years later, we are finally ready to replace the flooring and can’t find our other flooring anywhere! BUT, Sam’s Club ended up having flooring that was a near identical match. Instead of waiting, we went ahead and splurged. So lucky.
Rachael says
JOSS ME! Please!

JOSS ME!!!
A lucky moment was when I was running out of places to look for a rental house, and a chance call to a friend landed the place I now call home.

Hey John and Sherry,
While attempting to register for this giveaway, I got an error message saying that I had already posted “JOSS ME” and was attempting to post a duplicate comment. The same thing happened with another giveaway once before. As far as I know, unless my computer has magically decided to auto-enter the contests for me (in which case, awesome!), I haven’t posted. Any ideas/suggestions?
I love your blog and hope to one day be one of those lucky giveaway winners!
Thanks!
Lindsay

Kristina says
Joss Me!! My luckiest moment is that we now have an IKEA in Denver that will make my home decorating more affordable.
Laura says
JOSS ME! The luckiest I have gotten is when I inherited a few of my great aunt’s furniture. A four poster bed along with a corner cupboard are my favorite pieces. The other pieces still need a little paint though. :)
cassidy says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest moment was finding the exact IKEA table I had been wanting at Goodwill one day (I live in Hawaii, so we have no IKEA and they don’t really ship to Hawaii either, so it was extremely lucky)
Jacqueline says
JOSS ME! Some of my friends are astonished at my DIY attempts (with some success and lots of time) since I started following your blog. Overall, you’ve paved the way for me to make a connection between my former life with money — and Stickley furniture — to a comfortable home that I can maintain and improve by myself.
Maggie says
JOSS ME! My luckiest home improvement moment was stumbling upon (and splurging on) an outrageous lime green paint color for the bathroom. It was a spur of the moment decision that I love!
Cara says
JOSS ME!
We really lucked out when the first offer we made was rejected and I widened my search to include a neighborhood I hadn’t considered before. We found our PERFECT house there which had been on the market less than a month and had two offers pending. We swooped in and nabbed it! The area with the first house has flooded twice since then, and we love our house so much.
Rachael says
JOSS ME!
getting a awful foreclosure house at a great discount…now my favorite place ever
Jessica Gardino says
Joss me!! I found a Pottery Barn coffee table for $25 at a consignment store! It was in great shape and exactly what I was looking for!
Jordan says
JOSS ME!
Amanda says
JOSS ME!
My boyfriend and I used to live in a house with four other people. When the house split up, we pretty much got all the pieces of communal house property that we wanted: the giant comfy couch, the microwave, the waffle maker, the cool folding shelf… We thought we were going to have to negotiate hard, but no one else wanted all that stuff. Score! Felt pretty lucky that day!
Stef says
Joss me!

JOSS MEEE!
Rache says
Joss ME! (:
My luckiest home improvement moment? Discovering during a major house facelift that my then-fiance (now husband) actually enjoys tackling DIY projects as much as I do. We’re not as clever as y’all yet, but we’re working on it! ;)
Gab says
JOSS ME!
Our luckiest moment was finding our dream home just two weeks before our wedding…talk about stress!
Penny M says
Luckiest moment was when my husband drove past a piece of land that he told me he always had loved. The owner was pounding a for sale sign on the front yard at that moment. We purchased the property, renovated the farmhouse, lived in it for 3 yrs while building a house on the back half of the property. Still living there and we love it!
Jessie M says
joss me!
Theresa Browne says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest moment was scoring a sweet kitchen table at an estate sale
rachel says
Joss me! My luck just started because the offer on my dream house was just accepted :)
Mia says
ooh ooh JOSS ME! JOSS ME!
Luckiest home improvement moment – oh so many –proud that over 50% of everything has been acquired by serendipity – been saving the landfills long before it was fashionable or noble. All good things come to those who wait or otherwise troll the sidewalks on trash day.
Annabelle says
JOSS me. My luckiest moment was finding the very IKEA dresser I wanted for the nursery on Craigslist for $80 in town (Nearest Ikea to Denver is 8-10 hours away… until TOMORROW when ours opens).

JOSS ME!
I found a killer deal on my west elm duvet last fall — it totally switched up the vibe in my room (and on the cheap!)
