We were able to get the lot we wanted without paying a premium. Nothing like getting to wake up to a view of a lake every morning!
Ashley says
JOSS ME!! My most fabulous find was the very first piece of furniture I ever bought for myself, a bright Red Buffet Table 5 years ago. I still get compliments when new people visit my house. I think that’s what has motivated me to go bold in my decorating style. That, and following your blog :)

JOSS ME!
Omigosh… I got super lucky finding a dining room table at a going out of business sale at Swoozies. It was ginourmous and JUST fit in the freight elevator at my apartment. I love it!
CourtneyV says
JOSS ME!
Nadine says
JOSS ME!
So excited that my roommates are moving out tomorrow! Happy to decorate in my style!
Bethany says
Joss me! Please!
About a month ago, we found a beautiful 20″ tulip poplar tree on “clearance” in the Lowe’s garden section. It was originally $300 but i bargained them down to $50 plus delivery fee. That was great, and it’s still alive, despite my brown thumb!
Kate says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest home improvement moment was when we were able to salvage a basement full of 20″ tiles that we laid in our basement (as first-timers) and left the grout on too long. There was some scraping involved and countless hours on hands and knees with toothbrushes to get them cleaned off, but at least we didn’t have to rip them out!
Patrick says
Joss me!
We scored our first home the day it went on the market!

Joss me!!
One of my favorite household items is a ceramic pencil holder I found in a box of things my grandma asked me to throw away. When I asked her about it she said she made it in a high school pottery and added “isnt it hideous?” possibly in 1950 but now I think it is fabulous plus I love the family attachment
Amelia says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest moment was when my husband agreed to move into the apartment I liked over the one he liked.
Lara says
My lucky house moment was when a friend gave me an old wooden dresser and I was able to pull out my cowhide, stain, and western knobs for a new rustic piece of furniture for the house.
Sarah says
Joss me!
Eh we got the mixed bag of having a 70′ oak tree crush our house. No one was hurt but now we get to re-do most of the house however we’d like.
Erin says
JOSS ME!
dream couch, sittin’ on the curb, waitin’ for me to pass by!
Megan says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest moment recently was happening across the perfect tile for our kitchen floor in Lowe’s the day we went there to buy a different ‘just fine’ tile because the location we had originally scouted tile at didn’t have that brand!
FP says
JOSS ME! Nothing lucky so far here.
Paige Jones says
JOSS ME!
haven’t had much experience with home-related luck, since I’m 24 years old and have never owned a home. BUT I did score a pretty sweet pub table made from gorgeous re-purposed wood to the wonderful tune of $100 (found it in Verona, VA at one of my favorite antique malls, 50% off!) If you guys are ever in the area, you should check out that antique mall–I think you would love it…and then drive into downtown Staunton (where I grew up) and eat/shop/browse…I love it there…
Lindsey says
JOSS ME!
Our luckiest home moment was when our realtor convinced us to see this house we really weren’t interested in because it went on the market that day. We wound up loving it and moved in a month later:)
Audrey says
JOSS ME! I’ve always been 1 step too late to be super lucky when it came to house hunting & decor purchasing haha. Hoping my luck will change here!
Carol says
JOSS ME!
A great C&B print that I love for 75% off :)
Vicki says
JOSS ME, baby! I moved into my husband’s house when we got married. It is small and cute, plenty of space, but the previous owners were old and everything in the house was…old. When I got pregnant last year, my inlaws said “We want to give you a new kitchen, now that you have a baby coming” and we said, OK! The contractor (it’s true, we were both working and couldn’t DIY) finished the day I had my baby. No joke. Lucky, Lucky, Lucky.
Ilana says
JOSS ME! I found the coffee table of my dreams on Craigslist :)
Caitlan says
JOSS ME!
Courtney says
JOSS ME!
I don’t have a lucky home moment to share yet, but it’s coming…I just know it!
Jes says
JOSS ME!!!
We have bad luck all our home fixes take way more time and money than expected and they never work right the first time! HAHA… I would say the luckiest thing about our house is we put in an offer right away… The day after we put in an offer, the Realtor had 11 calls on it the next day…
Emily says
JOSS ME! I feel lucky to be (close to) closing on our first home!
Shelly says
JOSS ME!! my luckiest home improvement moment has to be when we inherited our antique sideboard (buffet) from my hubs grandmother. it dates back to pre-civil war era and was put together with wooden pegs. no nails! she loved telling stories of how long that piece has been in the family. she kept it in pristine condition and we LOVE it!!
Carolyn says
JOSS ME!
When we got married we had relatives who were downsizing so we got a lot of really nice furniture free!
future robin on the beach says
JOSS ME!!!!
Moving to the beach next month and could use this to help decorate. Lucky is not the furniture in my house but the people I live with in my house. Lucky is Blaine, Hayley, & Hilary. (Jake & Sadie, too)
Alyson says
JOSS ME!!
I scored big time at West Elm when I found THE bedding I was looking for which had been marked 65% off because it had been on the display. Lucky me!
Lauren says
JOSS ME!
I have yet to encounter a lucky moment at our house. We’ve been there for just under four years and haven’t found a single good surprise. Boo!
Ginny says
Joss me! My luckiest moment lately was scoring an Ethan Allen end table at a garage sale for $7 :)
duck-billed placelot says
joss me!
Andrea says
JOSS ME!
We bought our house last year – a fixer-upper that we got for less than market price, because the owner was too embarrassed to put it up on the market! (And rightly so…it really was a disaster, and we saw it AFTER it had been cleaned up a bit…yikes!)
amber, this is the life says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest moment was when I found our dining room table at a thrift store. I wasn’t even looking for one at the time, but when I saw it, I knew I had to have it. The price was right so I took it home that day!
Danielle says
JOSS ME!
Our luckiest moment has been finding a perfect home to buy at the same time as finding out we are PREGNANT! Should be closing on it in a month!
Lindy says
JOSS ME we scored a brand new table, turned desk, from my parents after they only wanted the chairs.
katie says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest home improvment moment happened when I found my boyfriend who it more than handy around the house! What a home-saver! Plus your blog helps us come up with some fun new projects!!
Amy @ A Little Nosh says
JOSS ME!!
I’m still waiting to have my lucky house moment.
Rachel says
Joss me!
My luckiest moment was driving by our current rent house moments after the landlord had put the sign in the yard (after weeks of not finding anywhere decent to live!)
yvi says
joss me! we totally lucked out when the previous owners of our house left us 4 barstools that complimented our house perfectly :)

My luckiest moment is when I shop for something and refuse to pay full price then I head over to TJ Maxx and it’s a 1/4 of the price.
Lindsay says
JOSS ME!
Kristin says
JOSS ME!! We did in fact find our house the day that it went on the market, and it also had a right side up horseshoe in the barn- for GOOD LUCK
Jill says
JOSS ME!!
Jessica says
JOSS ME!
I am actually the most unlucky person ever. Fingers crossed to finally win something (and change that luck!)
kelly wilcock says
JOSS ME! Luckiest house moment, bringing all my kids home to the same home. House love.
Jenny H says
JOSS Me! My best decorator moment was the one time I actually picked the right paint color for a room on the first try!
Alisha says
Joss Me!!
Luckiest “Home” related moment would definitely be opening my husbands garage door and seeing a beautiful secretary desk that was “a bit dirty” just sitting in the middle of the floor. BIL cleaned out an old house and planned to just toss it in the trash–glad I got to it first before he did :) Cleaned it up and conditioned it and it looks great in our dining room!!
Hannah says
JOSS ME!!
Most lucky– I found an antique wooden trunk at a yard sale for free! Love it.
