Our luckiest moment was finding a house that was owned by the government who just wanted to unload the thing and were willing to do whatever we wanted. We ended up getting a refund check at closing!

Wow, already 5600 comments – I don’t stand a chance. But my highlight find was seeing a large new thomasville arched 8 ft glassed in cabinet that was $5000, but marked down to $500 at this outlet. Score!

I suppose my luckiest moment was finding a gorgeous old entertainment center by the side of the road. It is a 1960’s unit with built in radio and turn table, plus an extra slot where we plug in our iPods. It makes a beautiful credenza and the built-in speakers have incredible sound.
Gaidig says
I should also mention that it’s totally mod Mad Men style.

I feel lucky that we found our dream house earlier this year. Sure, it needs a lot of fixing-up, but my husband and I have loved working on it:)
Leslie says

Kristen B says
JOSS ME!!
My luckiest house moment happened this past spring. We were two weeks away from closing on a house, and there was some appraisal drama and the whole thing fell through… Definitely a blessing in disguise because a week later we found our dream home!!
Jacqueline says
JOSS ME!!!
My luckiest deal of all was when we found a beautiful vintage dining set from Craigslist and we paid almost nothing. It was almost new with the vinyl wrap still on the chairs. I think I cried with joy that day we brough that baby home.
Ashley says
JOSS ME!
My husband and I got lucky when we found our perfect brick home 2 minutes from the most coveted School in our city! I can’t wait to walk the little one to school…when I have them that is! And when they get older, I can’t wait to sit on our front porch drinking a good ole cup of joe and watch them walk to school!
Sarah in Indiana says
Joss me! My decorating style is kind of all about serendipity, so I can’t really think of one lucky moment that stands out.
Maryellen says
Joss me!!!! My luckiest finds are items I bought because I loved them and have had them for years. They always fit in with our decor no matter where we move – an old oak ice box, a small oak chuch pew, an African prayer stool, lots of artwork and on and on an on….
Ruby Showalter says
JOSS ME!!! One of my favorite pieces of furniture came from a yard sale…cool bench for $25!! And another fave came from work for FREE. Can’t beat that!!
rachel says
joss me!
my luckiest moment was finding our new house! we had called our realtor to call off the search when there was nothing out there we liked, but she told us about what is now our first home that had just been listed. saw it and put in an offer immediately.
Julie says
JOSS ME! Our ‘joss’ moment would be when we stumbled upon the house we bought and are living in now. We weren’t in the market for a new house at the time, but all the pieces fell into place so we went for it and it’s perfect!
Shannon M. says
JOSS ME!
I felt pretty lucky getting a near mint condition Restoration Hardware sofa for $300 when someone was having a moving sale. I was giddy! :)
Amy O says
JOSS ME!
Our most blessed house moment came right after the worst house moment. We are currently selling a home and had the first contract fall through, but then received a new offer the same day the house was relisted! We close next week :-)

Liddia says
JOSS ME!!
Kathy says
I can’t think of one specific thing I “snagged” so I am going to say my luckiest thing is being able to buy a home and raise my family in a home! We can make it ours and that continues on day to day!

JOSS ME!!!
Luckiest Find: Two brand new light fixtures/chandeliers from a store going out of business for less than $100.
Clarissa says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest home improvement moment was when I ordered new cabinets for a kitchen reno and the first time the installers came around (yep, there was an unlucky moment in there as well) they installed a mix of items I ordered and that of someone else’s. Once I noticed this mid-install and pointed out the mistake, they let me keep the extra cabinet organizers and came back another time to redo the stuff I didn’t want.
Brittany says
JOSS ME!
I haven’t had any lucky home improvement moments. Maybe winning this e-spree could be the first? :)
tracy says
joss me! We got lucky when we found a house that had all our requirement: old built ins, a basement, a deck, a covered porch, a garge. Doesn’t sound like much, but we were so fortunate to find these things in a house we could afford!!
Stephanie says
JOSS ME!
I had been eyeing a certain headboard made from an old door on pinterest, and then i saw a neighbor set out an old door by the road for free…SCORE!
Megan says
Joss Me!
My favorite home decorative find was an 80+ year old dining room table. My husband and I spent a month refinishing it, and can’t wait to use it for our future family!
Callie says

My luckiest home moment occured when my boyfriend and I were going through the first-time home buying experience. We found an amazing condo in a great neighborhood in DC for a semi-reasonable price (for this area). It was perfect for us, tons of light (which was really important after living in a basement apt), a unique design, and it just felt like home. I had a feeling other folks would fall in love with it too so I knew we would have to move fast if we wanted it. We put in an offer and the waiting began. Well wouldn’t you know it but the huge blizzard of 2010 hit right about that time which meant we were snowbound as the city of DC essentially shut down for a week. I swear this worked in our favor because had other people been able to get to that condo I am sure we would have had some competition and may have even been outbid. Being home that week also gave us time to contact our loan officers and really focus on the paperwork and the home buying process. By the time the snow had melted the place was ours! I consider us very lucky!

Luckiest moment: the condo I wanted went back ON the market after having been taken OFF a day before I went to put on my offer! Been living there happily for 4 years now! : )
Alia Truex says
JOSS ME! My luckiest moment has to be when the piece of furniture I had been obsessed with went on sale and I could finally afford it.
JOSS ME! says
Sadly, my luckiest house moment was when we discover the prior owners had wired ALL of the lighting fixtures with… athletic tape! Huge fire risk. So we HAD to replace every.single.one. We would have procrastinated forever, but this reaslly jumpstarted us on some great projects.
Emily R says
JOSS ME!!!
Debbie says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest home moment was actually getting my current house. We finally got an offer on the condo we were selling and put an offer on the house we wanted and didn’t get it. We were worried we’d have no place to live. Our current house went on the market three days later and we won the bidding war! And I’m so glad we didn’t get that first house!
Erin Villani says

My luckiest moment would have to be when I was given a beautiful white, antique washed cabinet for my house. It fits beautifully in an entryway and provides wonderful hidden storage for shoes, umbrellas, and other little trinkets.

Benedicte says
Joss me! My luckiest home decor moment was when we scored 2 couches for our new home! The scale fits our new living room perfectly!
Collette Douglas says
JOSS ME {PLEASE}{PLEASE}{PLEASE}!!!
Without a doubt, our luckiest “home” moment was when we got the inspiration to sell our 784 sq. ft. home, and closed only days before the river swoll up and FLOODED IT. Hallelujah!
