Inspired by you, Sherry, I wanted to make my own curtains for our new house — did some digging to find the $18/yd fabric I coveted elsewhere for just $4.95/yd. I thought that was the best part, ONLY TO FIND a week later that Pier 1 stocked an ADORABLE, ON-SALE MATCHING CHAIR!!! A design miracle, I say. So, Joss me, please? :)
Kelly says
JOSS ME – this Website is awesome! I don’t think I’ve had a luckiest home improvement moment yet – we current rent and I’m just getting into decorating the place with post-college duds.

My luckiest moment was buying our house. My husband disappeared one afternoon to drive around the town we were looking in. A few days later he took me to a house that was nicer than the ones we were looking at. Long story short, we were the lowest offer and they accepted!! And to top it off, we’ve become extremely close to our neighbors (even spending holidays with them). BTY, the unluckiest part occurred a week after we moved in when I broke my ankle on the stairs, yikes!

I’ve got two lucky stories:
We sold our first house in 4 days with 6 competing contracts, in order to buy our dream house…in 2009!
I married a guy willing and able to learn anything about home improvement himself. Saves us a boatload on projects and a real sense of pride and love for our home.

Joss me! (Please).

JOSS ME!
My luckiest home moment was finding my current apartment. I’m not sure if it was being the first to look at it, or the fact that I got there a bit early and bought some blueberries that I offered to the super who was showing the place (and seemed very appreciative), but whatever it is, I found a good-sized apartment in Brooklyn with a deck bigger than most NY’ers apartment for a not-crazy price. So lucky!
Tracy says
PLEASE joss me!
our lucky moment came with the same-day offer on our house as the one being accepted on our NEW house. time to decorate!
AshleyG says
Joss me! We are currently remodeling our downstairs bathroom. We found a beautiful free standing sink unit (carved wood, marble, the whole deal) for $200 at a consignment store. It had never been used or installed and was originally $2200!
Vanessa Lopez says
Joss me please!
lucky home moment: finding our dining room table at 40% off with a coupon from world market!! woo hoo!
Beth W. says
Joss me! I bought a silver tea set at a thrift store for $15 and found out it was worth several hundred dollars.
Jen @ The Decor Scene says
JOSS ME!!!
My luckiest home improvement moment was scoring a white console piece online in their clearance section and it was just the right size. I saved about $200 from the original price. SCORE!!!
Elise says

We sold our first home just before the market crashed!

Our luckiest moment was when we pulled up the carpet in our formal dining room (a dark, forest green I might add) with the idea that cement is better than having to look at the carpet until we figure out what to put down. When we pulled it up, we were surprised to find a tile we kind of liked! We ended up figuring out a way to paint it and it’s so much better than that green carpet!
Thanks for hosting this great giveaway!!! <3

My luckiest moment was when YOU GUYS recommended allposters.com as a place to buy art work. I have found the most beautiful canvases there for bargain prices- I always get comopliments on the art we’ve bought from that site!

My favorite home improvement find was antique furniture given to me from my grandparents.

My luckiest home improvement was finding all of my baby’s nursery furniture at yard sales, usually I’d come back when the sale was almost over and get them for discounted prices! :)
Angelique says

Laura says
JOSS MEEEEE!!!!
Melissa says

My luckiest home-related thing is when I got an awesome apartment minutes from uptown for a steal! Now new tenants have super expensive rent! Lucky me!
Rachel says
JOSS ME!!
I would LOVE to win this — one of my favorite (if not best) moments of scoring something was finding two apothecary jars on clearance from $18/each to $3/each only to go up to the register and they ended up being only $.80/each!!! LOVE those type of deals!

My luckiest day ever would be to win this prize !!!
I could finish some decorating around the house we moved into a year ago…………………
Vickie B says
JOSS ME!! After Craigslist searching for a few weeks, I found the perfect headboard to DIY into an entryway table!
julie says
Joss me!
My luckiest home improvement story is that I have a husband who is ridiculously handy. With no prior experience, he moves doors, reroutes plumbing, rewires electrical, lays tile… it completely eliminates the need to hire professionals to work on our fixer upper. He is awesome and I’m lucky to have to to give life to my home reno visions.
Bridgette says
JOSS ME!!!!!!!
My luckiest moment was when we put our adorable first home on the market. It was 960 square feet with every inch of it re-done and DIY’d with love. It sold after being on the market for 5 days! :) I hope I win! :)
Stephanie says
JOSS ME!
I finally got a Starck Louis Ghost Chair on Sale (40% off!) when Room & Board had their annual clearance. I lurve it.
Sarah says

Unfortunately we bought our first home (a townhome) when the housing market was nearly at it’s peak, and now we’re stuck here for a while. BUT, we got lucky with a neighborhood filled with amenities, and the BEST neighbors you could ever ask for!

We lucked out with all the beautiful flowers that are blooming in our new house this summer. It’s a lucky bonus that keeps on giving.

My luckiest home improvement moments are any kinds of curbside finds! As a college student with expensive tastes, my neighbors trash is always my treasure.
Becky says
Joss Me!
My husband got a new job, we found our home, and we found out we were pregnant with our son all within 3 months!
Tiffany says
JOSS ME!
And like in your examples, we found our home BEFORE it went on the market. Our real estate agent was also the agent of the sellers, and she showed us the house several days before it was to be listed. We made them an offer and they took it!
Crystal says
JOSS ME!
Lucky to have found this blog while I’m house hunting! So many ideas and changed my perspective completely! Excited!
Kim says

Lucky me, i got a brand new Natuzzi leather sofa a few years ago for $150!!
katie says
joss me!
our luckiest home-related endeavor was scoring the perfect apartment sight-unseen from 2000+ miles away, thanks to the magic of the internet. great location, perfect size, affordable rent, and a lovely community of neighbors — couldn’t ask for much more!
Morgan says
JOSS ME! :)
I found the PERFECT bookshelf for 50% off that was WONDERFUL and ready to be painted and loved! It’s gorgeous!!
Maureen@Notes On A Visual Life says
JOSS ME!!!
I worked at a furniture store for awhile and when it went under (boo, economy) I lost my job but scored loads of items for below cost. I’m talking a 5′ x7′ wool rug for $30.00!

My luckiest moment was finally finding our dream dining room set after years of browsing and convincing them to sell us the floor model, at a discount!
taylor yves says
Woah, so many people submitted, I might as well give it a shot. JOSS ME!
PS: My luckiest home improvement moment was probably when I discovered cute and functional furniture. We live in a tiny apartment so nothing can take up space without being used. We are currently in need of some solid book shelves, but a stack of suitcases is working so well for now :)
Abby says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest moment in home ownership is discovering the world of blogs (like yours!). It’s really helped me define my style and be confident in home renovations!
Kelly says
JOSS ME! Not so sure what my luckiest moment would be. Would love to get lucky and find a great house to buy in our area. :)
Kara says
Joss me! Our luck find was at Homegoods, it is a table with baseball bat legs, (my hubs is a baseball player). Score!

My luckiest house moment?
Well we sold our condo in LA when the market was pretty high (2006), found a great (cheap) rental (with a view of Seattle, great schools, beautiful garden, but 70s decor) the one weekend we were in Seattle before the big move to Washington, lived there for 3 years, then I got pregnant. The landlord wanted to remodel so we had to start looking. After a few months, we finally found a great house to buy in the same neighborhood. At the time, the market was low. And it’s a mid-century home to boot! So a lot of lucky house moments there.
Amanda says
Joss Me!!
My luckiest home improvement moment was when we gutted our bathroom. When we were taking our shower out I was positively certain that there was going to be water damage behind the shower walls. I would have bet on it. Much to my surprise there was no water damage!! Whew!!!
Karen says
JOSS ME!
So far, my luckiest moment has been finding the base to an old hutch that I painted and am using as a media cabinet. I’d been looking everywhere for something like that and stumbled on it at Goodwill for $15!
