I guess our luckiest home improvement moment was when we had someone come out to look at the hole we knocked in the wall and found out that we HAD NOT been playing around in asbestos for a few weeks. This is back when we were newbs, of course.

When we moved we left our old fridge and had to buy a new one…we found one on craigslist that retailed for $2500 and paid $900!!
audra says
JOSS ME!
we’ve had some good luck with home furnishings…one of our faves are the fireplace doors we found on craigslist for $25. (we were looking at $250 for doors from home depot). the doors have straight lines and look totally modern now that we’ve covered the “gold” with a fabulous coat of ORB.
Amelia says
My luckiest home find was the vintage velvet wallpaper found in my grandmother’s basement.

Jennifer says
I felt pretty lucky when I got a pottery barn bench that someone had thrown out. It only had a few scuffs and was easy to re-paint. JOSS ME!
Kristin says
Joss Me! I think our luckiest moment was when my husband & I found our dream home, it was the first home we decided to even look at, so we put the offer in, and it was accepted, over the other offers on the table!
Dre says
JOSS ME! I recently updated a free family hand-me-down… the price was right- FREE! In fact, here it is! http://futuredukes.blogspot.com/2011/07/arrrrrr-matey.html

My luckiest moment happened about an hour ago :) We were given a nice kitchen table a few years ago but it only had three chairs. I gave up looking for a fourth chair two or more years ago and just walked into goodwill and BAM! there it was in perfect condition :) Now we don’t have to have our circle-shaped kitchen table pushed up against the wall in an awkward postition! And in perfect timing, my husband is on his way back from Afghanistan as I type this; I know his OCD self will be THRILLED.

My luckiest home find (& absolute favorite!) has to be a $5 coffee table found at a swap meet. It’s rustic, chunky and utterly indestructible – made of 2×6 boards and giant lag bolts. I just love how its warm rustic look contrasts with more modern decor.
Erin R. says
“JOSS ME!” My luckiest home decor moment was finding sheets I love right around my birthday, so my mom offered to buy them for me :)
Amanda says
JOSS ME! Please…
Fav home improvement item was getting a super deep double kitchen sink. It was like Christmas the day we put it in!
Molly says
JOSS ME!!
It’s a tie – my $5 barn sale school maps and the 200 year old barnwood we picked up for $10 an armload from a craft sale. The lady who was selling the barnwood looked super happy to see little wimpy armed me… until she realized that my big beefy husband would be the one carrying the armloads :)
Ashley says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest piece was a $5 gilted mirror scored for my first apartment that I shared with my best friend. We each wanted to take that mirror with when we moved out and somehow I won. 8 years later and it’s hanging over my mantle.
Sheila says
JOSS ME! Best home improvement? When my ex-husband moved out. Oops, did I say that outloud?! :)
Belinda says

Sadly, no lucky home improvement experiences following our home purchase. Dreaming of selling ASAP due to many disappointments post purchase. Bummer!
Marie says
joss me! luckiest home improvement: using fish wire to run the wires for the surround sound speaker system through the ceiling and walls. voila! no ugly wires in the room!
Michelle says
JOSS ME!
I got a Bosch dishwasher for a seriously good price by negotiating and going on a tax free weekend. I scored! My friend bought the same dw and paid way more…she said she’s taking me next time she needs to buy appliances!
Denise says

One of my lucky moments was while driving through our neighborhood I spotted a patio set with a bistro table and 2 chairs with Free on it. We loaded it up, brought it home, a few coats of spray krylon in ORB and it looks great!. I recovered the cushions on it with fabric on sale so the whole set ended up costing $20 dollars in materials.
Katrina says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest moment was finding my condo with included parking in my price range after looking in vain for 8 months!
Lindsay says
“JOSS ME!” In our old house we pulled down some paneling and found a fabulous built in cabinet!
Christina Bailey says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest home improvement moment was running across this website. NO JOKE, you all have inspired me to take risks and awakened a love deep inside of me for ceremic animals! I am addicted, and I am never diappointed…thanks for all your hard work!!!
Karen says
JOSS ME!
The luckiest home moment I have had was just recently- when I found a home at an incredible price and they are paying for closing costs!
Tami says
JOSS ME! :)
Autumn says
Joss Me!
Our luckiest moment was chasing my then 18 month old down the driveway behind our house just as a neighbor was about to take a perfect, unused toddler bed to Goodwill.
He never saw us actually bring the bed home, but it just so happened that it was the very night he decided to climb out of his crib!
Elle says
JOSS ME!
I hope to be buying a house soon and honestly, winning this WOULD be my luckiest moment so far.
susan says
JOSS ME!
our luckiest home improvement moment came two days ago, in the middle of our concrete floor project. a friend volunteered to take out our tile for us in exchange for our carpet remnants. labor done and carpet disposed of? LUCKY US!
Jessica says
JOSS ME! We have no luck whatsoever….with houses, or with drawings like this….so wish me luck with all of it and maybe I’ll win this thing! haha!
angel valerio says
Joss Me! We were so worried about selling our house after we had already started building a new one. Well, I wasn’t, my husband was. I figured God would handle it. It ended up our buyers couldn’t move in until a week after our close date on our new house. So, we got to move from the old right in to the new.
Kellie R. says
JOSS ME! This is an awesome giveaway from an awesome website! Crossing my fingers!!
And my luckiest home improvement moment was finding a beautiful modern mid-century dresser in mint condition for $20. Yes!!
Julie says
joss me! Our luckiest moment was selling our previous house the very weekend it went on the market and then buying our current house under the pressure of only having one weekend to look. At the time I wasn’t sure we’d made the right choice but with a few tweaks we now feel like it’s the perfect house for us!
Manda says
JOSS ME!!!
candace says
JOSS ME! I found an adorable $7 table at a thrift store and turned it into the perfect side table for our nursery!
Dana says
JOSS ME!
I would say that my luckiest moment was when I found the entire Hemnes bedroom set on Craigslist for just $250. It was the steal of the century!
Amy says
JOSS ME!
I love my house. I’m lucky I found it. The selling realtor didn’t list it many places and especially none of the “normal” ones online. Lots of searching and hardwork paid off for me!
Andrea K. says
Joss Me!
My luckiest home find was my fridge. I found a floor model of my dream fridge at more than 50% off. (one of those stainless steel, french door, freezer drawer pull out ones) I just stood next to it saying “Mine!” until the cashier had rung up the sale. I wasn’t about to let that baby go!
Julianna says
JOSS ME!
My favorite furniture I own is the pair of adirondack chairs I picked up free on the side of the road last year. :)
