JOSS ME!
And my favorite find: a huge gorgeous vanity (I had been dreaming of making myself pretty sitting at a vanity for years) that I found at Goodwill with the seat and everything for $60. This thing is worth a bazillion dollars. I re-covered the grandma seat cushion (nothing against granny) and she is gorgeous.
Susan A says
JOSS ME! The most JOSS experience I’ve had related to my home was when I found the EXACT same kitchen table that my mom has had my entire life. It’s from the 70’s and is solid wood, with four solid wood chairs and two leaves! $100 for the WHOLE SET off of craigslist! AMAZING. We have twin tables now!
Carol Adams says
Joss Me!!
Probably just happening across the lot we built our house on on and live in now!
Katy says

Beautiful hardwood under aqua shag carpeting.
Emily says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest moment is hopefully going to happen when I win this giveaway! :)
holly says
JOSS ME!!!!….please :)
We lucked out when we found our house…the day it went on the market I received a call from our realtor that I had to see the house asap! One walk thru it & we made an offer! Although it needed some updating, it had great bones! It truly was such a blessing. We had looked at several homes & I was just about to throw in the towel & sign another year’s lease for my apartment…not to be too cheesy, but it just felt like it was meant to be. :-)

JOSS ME!!
Chelsea says
Joss Me!
My luckiest home improvement moment is when we find awesome deals on things in the as-is section at Ikea.
Laura says
JOSS Me! Found our dream starter home after a random drive by and “not really looking”.. after only seeing two houses inside.. we were sold!
Shelley J says
JOSS ME!
We were in a bidding war for our dream house and lost it by $100. Then that person backed out 2 weeks later and it was ours!!!
Sarah says
JOSS ME!
Our luckiest home improvement moment was finding a new bed frame that was not only under budget, but that both hubs and I were able to agree on! (Of course, now we’ll never get a new one again, lol).
Cait says
no, joss me!
jen says
Joss me, two end tables off of craigslist for $30 that are perfect for what we needed!
Hannah P. says
Joss me!
Sara N says
JOSS ME! We fortunately inherited a bunch of fabulous antique pieces for our home.
Melissa says
Joss me!
I have many pieces of furniture that I’ve inherited from my parents that are things they found on the side of the road. One of my all time favorite pieces now lives in my bedroom. After a few coats of black paint, and my husband’s help installing sleek, modern silver handles, the three-drawered dresser is an awesome and basically free addition to our master bedroom!
My next project is hanging red curtains in our living room – I have already told the husband we will be hanging them high and wide!
Julie McQueeney says
JOSS ME! My favorite home improvement moment would be when we laid sod outside! It was insta yard and changed the entire look of our house!
Sonya says
Joss me! I called several tree trimmers to get estimates on a large limb growing near my roof. One day I came home from work to a professionally trimmed tree, which was somewhat surprising as the company I selected was scheduled to come out in two days. It wasn’t the company I hired – I think one of the companies that gave me an estimate made a mistake. The neighbor was home and saw the cherry picker in my driveway, but couldn’t remember the company name. I got a $270+ trim job for free!
kel mcnichol says
JOSS ME! I think when I went to a garage sale and found a great dresser…that i could not afford. Yet found out they were looking for something that I happened to have in storage….and we made a swap!
Lynn says
JOSS ME! My luckiest home decorating moment was when I found curtains from Anthropologie that I had been lusting over for months…and that they were marked down 75% off the original price!!
Jessica P. says
JOSS ME!
My husband and I found our beautiful house after our “dream house” was bought by another couple. I’m glad, as our current house is free from foundation problems!

My luckiest moment so far has been getting a power drill from my father-in-law which has allowed my wife and me to accomplish several home improvement projects.

I don’t own a home yet but I think the luckiest thing to ever happen to me was PINTEREST!! When I do finally have a house I am so excited to go through my pins and figure out how to decorate my house! Apartment adaptations for now!
Denise says
JOSS ME!!!!
Nina says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest moment has to be when we cut out a 2ft x 4ft shelf into our staircase to hold our media equipment and then mount the tv above it! I was sooo thankful that my ‘vision’ turned out so well, no one else really believed it would work.
Erin says
JOSS ME, PLEASE!!
My luckiest moment was finding an entire vintage furniture set, perfect size and color for my master bedroom, for $80 the day before we moved into our new home! A little Old English and some new knobs and they were perfect!
Savannah says
JOSS ME!
My most recent luckiest home moment is a few weeks ago when I found a nice solid wood kitchen cart at someones curb to be trashed, only had a few scratches. Sanding and a fresh coat of paint and she was good as new. I had been searching for an affordable kitchen cart for weeks!
Marie says
Joss me!! Luckiest moment: repainting when home depot was giving rebates on every gallon of paint you buy :-)
Mgtree says
Joss me!
Luckiest design moment? Finding a husband who will begrudgingly browse ikea, home goods and yard sales! As long is theres a deal, he’s down!

Joss me! I have great luck! I just won $25! I won a VCR once when they first came out and won $250 at a work raffle that I donated to Ronald McDonald House.

Joss me!!!!!! My luckiest moments include any time I pick out the perfect shade of paint on the FIRST try!
Ida says
JOSS ME!! I got an awesome Target TV cabinet for $60 from $300 b/c they discontinued it. I had to drive around all over the DC area and argue with one of the store clerks to find an available one, but I got it!
