JOSS ME!! My luckiest thing so far is my boyfriend’s granny’s coffee table that I got to refinish and make fit my style. DIY practice and free furniture all in one!
Stephanie says
Joss me!
I’ve got my fingers crossed my lucky moment is coming up sometime within the next year as I look to purchase my first home.
Mara T. says
JOSS ME!!
I scored the most awesome embroidered comforter set marked down from 400 to 100, and then had a 20% off coupon on top of that.
Jason says
JOSS ME!
My wife and I were out and about with our real estate agent and were totally underwhelmed by the 10 plus houses we had just looked at. We were finished for the day when our agent decided to check out one last house that was not on our list. My wife loved it immediately but I was so tired and over the house hunt that I was not as impressed as her. Fast forward a little, we realize that it was a lucky day after all because we ended up buying the house and love it. I admit, I am not as on my game when I am tired and cranky!

JOSS ME!!!
only been in our house about a month, so not too much time to have lucky moments. so far, though, we’ve found a gorgeous damask print wing back chair for FREE to fit my LR theme, and 2 FREE 18×20 frames. can’t believe the great stuff people neglect!
Camille says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest home improvement was going to yard sales and buying some vintage dishware and a brand new weed wacker for $5!
Sarah says
Joss me! I sold my home without trying. Someone knocked on my door and made an offer I couldn’t refuse. How lucky!

JOSS ME!
Luckiest home improvement moment was probably finding that the painted-over wall paper in 2 (2!) bedrooms had been so poorly applied that it came right off without any steam/chemicals/whatever – just stripped it gently off the wall with our hands :)
megan g says
JOSS ME! Just finding a house we love so much after months of searching was lucky for me!
Rebecca C. says
“JOSS ME!”
Erin says
JOSS ME!
Our lucky moment was finding our sunny apartment with sky-high ceilings after days of touring English basements in DC. It’s perfection!
Katherine Sanneman says
Joss Me! I get Joss & Main’s email daily and am always drooling! I was able to buy the house of my dreams, with tons of DIY projects included, which I really love. The house never went on the market, so it was an inside deal.
Danielle C says
JOSS ME!!
I signed up for the website and I am on a wait list :(
I found a hardwood cabinet on craislist that had been painted black. I sanded it down and restained it, and now we have a rustic looking bar.
Jennifer says
JOSS ME! Recently I have been looking for new kitchen lighting. We have old strip flourescent lights in our kitchen. YUCK! I scored two matching pendants. One smaller one goes over the sink and the other one is huge (we call it the glass liberty bell)goes over the dining table. They were from Restoration Hardware older style, but very modern/vintage. They were only $70 total. Regular price would have been close to $1000! SCORE!!!!
Amy says
JOSS ME!! :-)
This looks like such a fun site! Am sure I could find lots of cool stuff. Still waiting for a lucky moment with our house.. ugh! But this sure would help!

JOSS ME!
My luckiest homeownership moment came on the heels of my darkest one. I was house hunting & I had found ‘the one’. I had made an offer, but after days of going back & forth with the seller, we could not make a deal. Despondent, I let go of the idea of that house and set out with my realtor on a sunny Spring Friday morning. That’s when I found the REAL ‘the one’! First day on the market & I was the first one to see it. The price was $15K less than the house I was bidding on before! It was bigger & in a neighborhood I really liked. You could have knocked me over with a feather. I made an aggressive offer & she was mine. :)
Tyler says
Joss Me.
We got the first house of our dreams–different from our dream house– despite several other offers.
Connie says
JOSS ME!
We were lucky to find a great program to purchase a home through — the Historic Macon Foundation. With their tax credits for restored historic homes, I was able to buy a house much sooner than I’d hoped!
Anjuli says
Joss me!
Luckiest home owner moment will come when we are able to buy our dream home, and still be young enough to enjoy it. :) I have a while to wait.
Kirstin Jansen says
JOSS ME!
A great lucky moment was finding an early 1900s wood trunk at a garage sale for $19 last weekend. Score!
maddie says

Liz says
JOSS ME! We found our first sweet little house on craigslist! We miss it dearly, but it was a great first home!

Cindy Devine says
“JOSS ME!” pretty please! My luckiest moment was snagging my townhouse (that I still live in 15 years later) an hour and a half after the girl put a handmade FSBO sign at the curb. I had been scoping the hood for weeks but couldn’t afford any of the houses. Hers was the smallest floor plan and I could do it! We hit it off so well that against her husband’s wishes (they recently married and he moved into HER house)she took it off the market and held it for me for 4 months while I sold my house and while she turned down numerous higher (and CASH) offers!!!!!!! Theresa! What a girl. She said she loved her house and her neighbors and wanted me to do the same. I have.
Sarah Ramirez says
JOSS ME!! My latest purchase smile was this weekend. My mom just bought a MAJOR fixer-upper and I moved into our first home about 2 years ago so we are always looking for SUPER deals, and we totally scored this weekend. We bought $600 worth of light fixtures from Lowes all on clearance, spending $80!! Yeah baby! We also scored a new fancy front door for a friend which was marked down from $1200 to $250. YES!! Tip:if you ask a supervisor if they can discount the clearance anymore…they can!…I never knew that until now.

Joss me…my luckiest moment was scoring an awesome deal on a craiglist couch!
Maria says
JOSS ME!!!
I was lucky to score blinds for my whole house at 90% off…and 60 days before I closed on it (so plenty of time to see if I ordered the right size and return if needed) – they all fit.
Liz says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest moment as a homeowner… Probably finding the PERFECT house!

Alisa D says
Joss me!
I can’t think of anything I would consider “lucky”… maybe finding the dresser we wanted on the showroom floor when the store location was closing. Saved us a ton of money!

Cecily T says
JOSS ME!
Our luckiest moment had to be managing to buy our first house in a desirable area (commutable to NYC) near the bottom of the rise in housing prices 9 years ago, then sell it about 5 years ago near the top of the market and move somewhere more rural/suburban and get a LOT more house for our growing family while keeping our mortgage nearly the same!
Jana says
Joss me!!
Emily says
JOSS ME!
Definitely when we bought our “new” first home last year for under $40K. Call it lucky – but we like to call it a blessing! We’ve put in a lot of work and still have a lot to do, but we’re blessed indeed!
Sarah & Mike says
JOSS ME! My fiancé and I found the most perfect cape cod country home in Gettysburg. We fell in love with it immediately and submitted an offer this very moring. I am so nervous I think I will throw-up these butterflies. We are first time homebuyers and need all the joss we can get! We have big plans for our new home…
Amanda says
JOSS ME!!
