My luckiest home improvement moment was scoring a set of gorgeous mirrored side tables for $20 on craigslist.

My luckiest home improvement moment (ok, make that my luckiest “apartment” moment) was finding a living room couch that matched everything I was looking for–and only cost $399! I always love when my favorite item in a store also happens to be the cheapest. Unfortunately, I can probably count on one hand the number of times this has actually happened. :)
Angela says
JOSS ME!!! My best home improvement moment.. driving around with my Mother taking the kiddo to the park.. passed a home where there were 2 antique dressers and 1 antique scroll table.. at the curb!!!! TLC and viola! Beauty.
Whitney says
joss me all night long!!!

My latest lucky moment: Finding the West Elm curtains I had been eyeballing to finally be in stock. But not only that- marked down 75%, plus an additional 20% off (promo for all sale items). Walked out with THE pair of curtains in hand for 10 smackers! *sigh*
Carrie says
JOSS ME!! My luckiest moment would have to be closing escrow on our home and moving in on my BIRTHDAY, March 13th! Best present Evah!

JOSS ME!
I was gifted an old, beaten up wooden dresser by a friend of my mom’s during college (it’s over 20 years old so imagine the water stains, stickers, markers, etc from its previous owners). I was on the hung for the perfect dresser – wood, comfortable modern without being too crazy and something I could paint. When I realized that I HAD it and it was FREE. Flat front drawers (pull out from underneath), long and low, sleek, slim tapered legs, it was perfect. I sanded it down, painted it a glossy graphite gray (four years ago before the grey trend hit) and have loved it ever since!
Lacey H says
JOSS ME!! …. please?

Mollie says
JOSS ME! I am incredibly lucky to have a kitchen cabinets that have completely customizable shelving and slide out shelves, too. I imagined I would have to do this, but all I’ll have to do is paint. Yay!

My luckiest home improvement moment is getting a great price on repair work, after the bottom level of our home was damaged after flooding.

We found our house the day it went on the market! it was pouring rain and no one was out house hunting…except for us :)
Cathy says

One of my luckiest moments would be when I picked up a white West Elm Parsons desk look-alike for a mere $40 on craigslist. :)
Morgan says
JOSS ME!
I love little finds like discovering that you already own the perfect vase for the new bookshelf (buried somewhere in another room display) or that with a little diy love that goodwill table works out to be a near exact match to the House Beautiful version you oogled over.
Rachel says
JOSS ME!
I was having a hard time finding the perfect rug to finish off my living room area. Then one day I stumbled upon the perfect size/color rug, however, it was a little pricey. I was patient and within a couple months it went on sale! Definitely worth the wait!
Stephanie says
JOSS ME!!! Just recently we were quoted $900 to have someone install a new shower/tub surround. We recently gave our couch away to friends of ours because we got a new one and when they came to pick it up, they (the husband) told us he was going to install the surround for us… for FREE!! What a blessing!!
Danielle says
JOSS ME!
Luckiest furniture addition to our home is two chairs I got out of a planetarium that was remodeling in Illinois for 10 dollars. I love them, the subtle curve to the seat, tall backs, and headrest that makes it easy to look up at the stars. Plus great story. Drove them back to Idaho after college in a mini van.
Amanda says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest moment was when we finally found the home we had been searching for for 2 1/2 years- and my husband and I both agreed on it! :)
katie says
JOSS ME!!!! i need some luck!
Lee Anne Roquemore says
JOSS ME!!!
I’d say the luckiest for us was making a really, really low offer on the house we love & having them deny it… Then call back a few days later & say they liked us better than any of the other people so they’d take it! We move in this weekend!

JOSS ME!
My luckiest home improvement moment was finding 3 different perfect big furniture pieces at a consignment shop, for prices way cheaper than if they were bought new.
Erin Dyson-Enamorado says
JOSS ME!
our friend’s parents gave us their couch that we had been lusting after….for free! Oh and finding a solid wood framed round mirror (30″) for a mere $35 at goodwill.

I was recently looking at a blog featuring a vintage fan which I’ve wanted for a while now. Showed it to my dad and said “do you have any of these buried away” his response “follow me”. After some cleaning and desiring, thanks to dad, I now have one proudly displayed in my bedroom

Joss Me :)
Chris says
JOSS ME!! I can think of lots and lots of curbside finds that became the luckiest moment (at least for decorating). And they can all go back out to the curb once the kids are done working their destructive magic on them!
Anna B says
JOSS ME!
Hm…I guess my luckiest find was a Craigslist purchase: two wingback chairs for $80 total, and we LOVE THEM.
Sarah K says
JOSS ME!
I inherited a couple paintings my grandma painted. They. Are. Amazing, and I feel so blessed to be their owner!
Krista Haws says
“Joss Me!!!” I’m soooo excited, I hope I win!!! They have great stuff! My best/luckiest home improvement story was when we found our house. We were the first ones to see it when it went on the market and were able to meet the owner and make a good impression. Then when multiple, higher bids came in, they gave it to us because they liked us so much! I love our house!
Jillian says
JOSS ME!! We got lucky with the $8000 tax credit with our first home <3
Laurel says
JOSS ME!
I found two pinecone candle sticks on clearance (right up my alley) and turned them into side table lamps with an ikea light set. I was so proud of myself!

Joss ME!!!
I’ve had a bout of Fabu home luck of late. Other than still being in awe of the dream home I live in, that is.
First, on the 4th weekend, Huz & I planted a gorgeous 15′ cherry plum tree. That I scored. Free. From a neighbor who was going to kill it for a new sidewalk. Total sin, that.
Then, just a couple weeks ago I spied a lonely lovely coffee table hanging on the curb while I was out for a run. Oh, I sprinted back, grabbed my car, and adopted that poor baby. It’s just needing a final coat of paint, light distressing & a finish coat.
Yay!!
Cathy says
JOSS ME, if you please!
Luckiest moment? …Blanking, blanking. Erm, having lovely parents from which to sponge old furnishings & random home improvement items until I can acquire ’em myself. Thanks mom & dad! :)
Amber says
JOSS ME!
LOVE their stuff! My “luckiest” home improvement moment doesn’t involve DIY or anything surprisingly…my husband and I really wanted to upgrade all of our appliances to stainless steel rather than black/white appliances…a couple of weeks ago my dad and step-mom gave us their old (only 2 year old) refrigerator, stove, and dishwasher…and it completely transformed the look of our kitchen (which has actually received the most tlc, it’s the room that’s changed the most in the house!) super lucky, and exciting! :D

My luckiest moment in home renovation was having my cousin’s wonderful husband (a contractor) volunteer to build us a nursery when we were expecting twins- FOR FREE! We only had to pay materials. We did the whole project (an attic conversion) for $500!

My luckiest home improvement moment was getting our first fixer upper for 30,000 dollars under appraised value. It made for a nice profit when we finally had to sell it! :)

I don’t own my own home yet, so my luckiest home moment would be the weekend I decided to buy frames for some prints, Michael’s was having a major sale. I got great frames for a fraction of the price, and have three new pieces of art hung up around my apartment!
Mario says
JOSS ME! My most recent lucky home-improvement moment was that when we ripped out the ceiling in our kitchen reno project, we discovered that we had access to all the sketchy old plumbing for the upstairs bathroom (next project). We are now able to have a plumber come ONCE and get it all replaced, which saves us a bunch of cash/time.
Angela says

No lucky moments yet…we just listed our house FSBO and are crossing our fingers we get a bite and find the perfect house of our (growing family)’s dreams. I have read your article on how you guys sold your house about a million times…I owe a little bit of my sanity to you!
DDay says
Joss Me! I would say the luckiest thing was our love seat fitting into this weird cutout in our living room perfectly.
Heather says
JOSS ME! Just bought the perfect coffee table from a college kid for $20 bucks, some sanding and stain and it is perfect!
Beth says
JOSS ME! Hmmm… luckiest DIY? Anytime a project actually goes as planned!
Nisa says
