My luckiest moment was when I entered a radio contest, won, and scored $1500 for landscaping our front yard.

Joss-a-me mucho!
Our luckiest home related thing would have to be seeing a house on the market when we weren’t ready and finding a year later, when we were ready, that it was back on the market. It is a dream come true!
Chloe says
JOSS ME!
This super expensive lamp I wanted went on sale (70%!) the same day I got a $100 gift certificate to the store it was at!
*crossing my fingers*
ChristinaD says
JOSS ME!! I’m still waiting for my lucky home moment… we always seem to run into some issue whenever we tackle a project here! Although, we ended up getting a great deal on our house and paid less than it was worth… so I guess that is pretty lucky! ;)
Vanessa says
Joss me! My luckiest moment was when the ceiling in our rental started leaking and the landlord fixed it AND let us choose the paint color! I got a great color with no work!

JOSS ME! We got lucky when trying to fill our new home with the pitter-patter of puppy feet: we met our beautiful red bone coonhound at the Humane Society a few hours after he got there.
Whitney says
Joss me! The very first apartment we looked at ended up being the apartment of our dreams! After hunting for a few weeks, we decided nothing would top our first favorite, and it was still available!
Andrea says
Joss Me!!!
Our luckiest moment is after putting a offer on our first choice home if fell through. We got our second choice home and have LOVED it. We feel so lucky to be where we are. WE adore our neighborhood and neighbors. That is one thing you can’t improve by yourself!

We found our new Bon Air home just because I was looking at the Zillow app while I was pumping gas.
Lindsay says
JOSS ME! Everyone in my family is lucky, including myself!

Erin says
JOSS ME!
We got lucky when we were buying our first house. We went looking on a Friday and ended up putting an offer that night in and getting it! We’re still there and love fixing up every room and making it our own :)
karen says
Joss Me! I think I’m still looking for the best/luckiest home improvement moment!
Barb D says
Joss Me!
Luckiets moment was when it turned out our realtor knew the selling agent pretty well and was able to give us an idea of what to offer to beat out the other 5 bids! (Turned out we needed to offer MORE than the foreclosure’s listed price.)
Karma Watters says
JOSS ME!
Sonel says
JOSS ME!
My husband and I had been wanting Pax wardrobes from Ikea for a long time, but the almost $1000 price tag for the combo’s we wanted was way too much for us. Imagine how thrilled we were to go to the As Is section at our local Ikea and find out they were having a pallet sale. Each pallet was piled high with flat pack boxes. After searching thru them we found one that contained 2 wardrobes, plus a lot of tge drawers and shelves we needed. As a bonus we were able to sell the rest of the items on the pallet for a profit of $450! So in the end it was like we were paid to buy the wardrobes we had been lusting after.
Laurel says

JOSS ME!
My luckiest design moment was finding the perfect desk for our home office on craigslist. It’s mod and sleek for me, and it has a chalkboard for a top for my mathematician hubby. And it was a steal at $50!
You guys rock!
Jen says
JOSS ME!
Our luckiest moment has to be finding our current house. Beautiful house, fantastic yard, great neighbors (which we of course didn’t find out until we moved in. BONUS!), the school we wanted, plus the price was a pretty great deal. Luck all around.
Katied says
JOSS ME!!
I was lucky when I moved into my very first apartment after college…and my family helped me furnish it!! :) I would love to start buying/making my own stuff though…

Em B, says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest moment in home ownership was when we found tile at a great price for our back screened in porch! What a difference this home improvement made to this area. It is now so bright and cheery!
Suganya says
JOSS Me! My moment was finding our dream dining table marked down frm 1000 to 300! :)
Caryn says
JOSS ME!! Our lucky moment in home ownership was when, after we bought the house and got in to tear it up, we found beautiful hardwood floors under the main living areas in the house. Carpeted over shortly after the house was built, so they were practically new!
Caitlin B says
Joss me!
For me, it’s a toss up between the $5 executive desk we scored at a Goodwill Outlet or our $40 couch Habitat ReStore. Nothing feels better than finding a great deal at Goodwill or similar.
lisa says
JOSS ME!
I’ve been super lucky to have inherited a few pieces of amazing furniture over the years. Sentimental value and tons of character!
Erin says
Joss Me!!
We got super lucky when we found our house by accident. We got lost looking for one that we saw online and happend to drive by a for sale by owner that is now our perfect little home!

Stacy says
JOSS ME!
Luckiest moment was finding out that my dream man was attached to my dream house a little 1940’s cottage semi-fixer upper with a huge yard. Talk about bonus.
Shannon says
JOSS ME!! My luckiest project was scoring to “stayed in their family” wing back chairs for $20 for the pair. I then had the redone in cowhide, suede, faux leather, and denim. Totally LOVE them at each end of our dining table.
Melissa says
Help, I’m currently renovating/decorating an 85-year-old house, so please JOSS ME! My current luckiest moment in home ownership actually came just yesterday when I found the perfect pink (yes, PINK) chair on mega-sale for my living room!
Amanda M. says
JOSS ME OH PLEASE!!!!
We scored enough bricks to do a small patio for our yard, for only $5 smackers!
Blythe says
JOSS me! We were in the process of selling our first home and could NOT find our “forever home” even though we looked at about 80 of them. The one we finally found at the last minute was definitely a diamond in the rough, but it will wonderful place to watch our kids grow up! You just have to see the potential (under all the filth, bad paint, and horrible decor :)).
Fay says
JOSS ME!! My luckiest moment might have been recently when I added a patterned rug (definitely out of my comfort zone) and some Ana White barn shelves to the living room, and voila–it was perfect! It took 3 1/2 years to get there, but somehow those two items really did the trick in finishing off the look.

We were given a desser/changing table for our nursery for free. After putting $36 dollars into it we had this awesome brand new looking piece of furniture that went perfect with our nursery. Later as we were looking at stuff online we found that our very dresser/changing table was actually $279 brand spanking new and we got it for FREE!
Diana says
JOSS ME!!! My luckiest house moment was last week, when the city began fixing the front sidewalk. When I first bought the place, I’d called saying it was hazardous, but they’re fixing it because they broke their snowplow on it too many times last winter! So grateful for the ridiculous winter we just had.
Kate says
JOSS ME!! My luckiest moment in home ownership was when I scored my absolute favorite piece of furniture from my grandparent’s apartment when they moved. Its a beautiful wooden, red upholstered chair that is permanently in my memories when I think of going to their place when I was young.
Sara says
JOSS ME! My luckiest (or most blessed) house moment was when my in laws gave my husband and I our “inheritance”, our family farmhouse that has been in the family since 1880. It is one crooked house that needs lots of TLC but we feel so blessed to have this house and make it our dream home. I am so thankful for it and for my inlaws who chose to give us this house now so they can watch us enjoy it (they are alive and well and I am so thankful they help us with all our reconstruction/remodeling projects)!
Kate says
JOSS ME!
We got a great deal on the china that we had picked out for our wedding and hadn’t gotten a full set of. We were able to fill in the rest without spending too much!
Kate C. says
Joss Me!
Our luckiest home improvement moment was when we hired a tile guy to do some finish work on the bathroom we remodeled ourselves, and the project ended up being WAY more complicated than he thought, but he decided to still only charge us based on his original estimate. Such a nice guy!

Our luckiest moment was when we rented out our townhouse in under a week of putting it up for rent. We then “unluckied” it when the bank said we qualified for less than we had originally been told…but its one step at a time right?
