Ugh – I wish I could say we’ve had some happy, design or overall lucky moments with our house(s), but I think the only real luck we’ve had was luckily catching a small leak in the pressure tank in the boiler on the furnace in our last house. $300 repair, but if it had gone much longer, it would have cost us more like $4000!

Corie says
JOSS ME! I lucked out and found an awesome apartment at a decent price…on Craigslist…in NYC!
Tiffany says
Joss Me! My luckiest home moment was finding our landscaper and having him listen when I told him to install the lowest maintenance plantings on the planet. Our yard looks fab despite the horrid heat! YAY!
Jen Migonis says
Joss me! My luckiest home improvement moment was finding a marble sink for $5 at an antique store in Essex, MA.

Mindy says
Joss Me!!
Hope says
JOSS ME!
Well, we were lucky in the sense that the previous owner of our home had painted it all of the colors that we love and would have chosen anyway, outside and inside! So we didn’t have to do much of any re-decorating once the house was ours.
Lisa says
Joss me!
Getting a new front doormat for free when the neighbor moved out. It was brand new and sturdy!
Sarah says

JOSS ME!
Getting our house was lucky, we saw it the hour it went on the market, and we were one of 3 that put a bid in that day. Even though we put in the lowest bid, our amazing realtor wrote the best offer and the bank picked us! I think even luckier though, has been falling in love with our home as we have made it ours the last 2 years.
Charlotte says
Joss me!
Sarah says
JOSS ME! what a fun giveaway!
Lindsay says
JOSS ME! I found the perfect mirror for the living room by total chance and wasn’t even sure how I was going to decorate that room!
Kristin says
Joss Me!
I was very lucky to marry a man who seems to know how to do everything home-improvement wise. Plus he helps with the chores around the house, and he’s the best dad ever. I couldn’t be luckier, really!
Sharon @ mamadoitall.blogspot.com says
JOSS ME! We found the perfect chair for our dining room nook at a barn sale around the corner for $40! It’s like an old greyed out wooden throne-y thing – amazing and one of a kind!
Kristi D says
Joss me!! We decided NOT to build a house. So glad we bought a fixer upper. :)
Emily says
JOSS ME!!!
I’m a new homeowner but so far my luckiest moment was when a pipe busted in our guest bath (okay not so lucky) but my mom had just bought a 100 year old house and was totally gutting it and combinging 2 bathrooms to make one master so she had a beautiful claw tub and vanity that she didnt need so this girl right here got it!! and then we found boxes upon boxes of subway tile!! so a could have been very expensive reno came in wayyy cheaper than expected
Melanie says
Joss me!
I was pretty lucky w/ my house. Viewed it on a Monday, had my loan approved on Friday, moved into the house in less than 30 days. AND it came with all the leftover paint from the previous owners nicely nested in one of the closets, so touch-ups such were a breeze.
Elissa says
Joss Me! Lucky to have so much awesome furniture handed down to us from parents and grandparents!
Kelly says
JOSS ME!
Finding that perfect table on craigslist for WAY less than it’s worth!
Marta says
JOSS ME! Finding my current apartment, steps from Union Square, lots of east-facing light, even if it’s only 200 square feet.
Dani S. says
Joss me! Luckiest moment was the moment that started home ownership (slash improvement) – we made our ninth offer on a house on 09/09/09 and we were the best of nine offers!
grace says
joss me!
Jen says
JOSS ME! It takes me forever to find curtains I love, but Target had a pair of linen shower curtains that I hung in my bedroom that match so well it seems hand-made.
Tania says
JOSS ME! We found a couple of things at my grandparents’ summer house. It almost looks like a house you’d see on Hoarders.. filled with “junk” that you walk around. We went down one summer to sift through and found a lot of old unique pieces! Not junk but treasures! They’re really adding a lot of character to our country theme.
Lauren says
JOSS ME! luckiest moment so far was finding our house the day it went on the market right before the first time buyer’s tax credit was due to expire. we’ve lived in our house for almost a year this week.
Heather U says
JOSS ME!!!
Luckiest moment was marrying a husband who is handy at DIY projects!
Arden says
Joss Me! I stumbled on a big iron yard as they were closing their doors. I spotted an awesome console table and king size headboard, both at a whopping 75% off. JACKPOT!!!
Angela says
JOSS ME!
Krista D. says
JOSS ME!
We looked at our current home two years before we bought it and decided it was too much money, although we loved it. Then the housing market took a tumble, as did the price of our dream home, so that two years later when we were ready to buy again, not only was it still for sale, but the price had dropped to where we could afford it!
Kayla says
JOSS ME!
An antique family chest that I inherited and proudly display in my living room.
Stephanie Marsh says
JOSS ME! Luckiest home improvement moment was getting a killer deal on our oak hardwood flooring. The store messed up and sold it to us for $2.54/sq ft!
Bethany says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest moment was when my hubby and I got our first rental together – one with a giant backyard (“giant” as in about 800 sq feet- bigger than our inside space, and quite big for the neighborhood!). Perfect size for our two Pomeranians, and I will never forget my first and very own vegetable garden, which was grown there!
Rebecca says
JOSS ME!
Buying our house has to be our luckiest moment! After looking at too many homes (and shedding more than a few tears), we found our dream house and have been happily making it ours for the last four months!
Annie says
JOSS ME!!!
I’m lucky to have a handy husband to help me with our never-ending remodel! Don’t know what I’d do without his think-it-through, common sense approach! (Actually, I DO. I’d be forever filling nail holes and repainting!)
Meghan says
Joss Me, please!!
torrie says
JOSS ME!
our luckiest home moment: being able to buy a home from family members which kept property tax unbelievably low – as in, ‘unheard of’ low!
Jessica Sun says
JOSS ME!! :)
cecilia says
Joss Me!
We haven’t been super lucky with our 1938 Cape Cod–it needs a lot of work and we have a lot to learn, but we’re saving and working on it, and making it our own. I am VERY lucky to have my amazing husband and crazy-cute son living in it. “What I like best about my home is that my family lives here!”
Melody says
Joss Me!
My luckiest moment was randomly finding this website.(And no I’m not sucking up) It really was. I am about to move into a new apartment and I wanted some ideas on decorating so I googled and found your website. And now I’m obessed with it, I check everyday for updates and have implemented your ideas into some stuff for my new place (for example DIY headboard) I am a total DIYer, I did my own wedding like you guys, but we haven’t found a house to buy yet so until then I have to stick to the small things.
Adriane says
Joss Me! Old bank doors we refurbished for the back entrance.
Lauren says
JOSS ME!
I have horrible luck, we are counting the days until we have enough saved to get out of our house or until the market recovers. =(
Jennifer Rangel says
JOSS ME!
I got really lucky when I went to pick up a couch I found on Craigslist for $50 AND THE OWNER THROUGH IN A FREE WASHER AND DRYER! I COULDN’T BELIEVE IT! When I showed up for the couch, he asked me if I needed a washer and dryer too. Of course I said yes and the rest is history!

My luckiest decor moment was when I found a $35.00 pier 1 pillow that I had been eyeing and the goodwill for $5.00! SCORE!

JoSs Me!!!
Natalia says
JOSS ME!
We just got our first house. Our only offer was at first not accepted, and even though we looked at other houses after, we kept on thinking about the house we made an offer on. A few weeks later they came back and accepted our offer:)
Leanne Peacey says
Joss me!
Our lucky house moment was when we went to look at our house for the first time. Turns out, 3 of the neighbors already knew my husband! People he hadn’t seen in 15+ years from college, who were all amazing. We put an offer on the house that same day, and now enjoy the most amazing neighborhood ever.
Courtney says
JOSS ME!
I lucked out when, after 3 months of indecisive online shopping/browsing on my own, my boyfriend bought me the PERFECT desk for my birthday. Such a thoughtful and practical gift!
