The luckiest find we had when my husband and I moved in together was a Crate and Barrel dining set off of craig’s list for $300. Barely used, someone was moving cross country and couldn’t take it with them. We looked it up when we got it home and it was almost $1800 brand new! Crazy!

My luckiest was when my friends and I found a FABULOUS apartment, but way out of our price range. Luckily, the landlord liked us so much, he dropped the rent by $150 for us (which may not seem like much, but it was enough).
Marcia says
JOSS ME!
My husband finally agreed to let me paint the kitchen cabinets white (only after I sent him a ton of sample pics of how good it could look thanks to YHL!)

Joss Me!
My entire home is surrounded by good vibes and luck. I am very fortunate to live in the house that belonged to my grandmother. Four generations of my family have lived here a various points, so I feel blessed to live in a house with so much love and luck.
Sarah says
JOSS ME!
When we moved into our house, the luckiest moment was discovering random stuff the previous owners left behind! A pretty glass bowl and cheese board in the cupboard. Tiki torches in the garage. Carpet remnants that we used for other projects. Score!
Ashley Edge says

I found the perfect dining set for almost nothing walking by a thrift store on my way home.
Kimberly says
JOSS ME!!
our luckiest day was finding a great home in a great area! we weren’t going to consider it at first, since it was only a 1 bath, but it’s turned out to be PERFECT.
Jenny says
JOSS ME< BABY!!!
I was lucky enough to marry a man that can build me almost anything I want for our home. I know, I know, I could do it myself….:)
Nikki says
jOsS mE!!!
My luckiest moment was successfully screen printing my own curtains!
Nancy says
JOSS ME!!
My luckiest moment was after counter-offering back and forth on what we thought was our dream home, our offer not being accepted. We ended up finding our dream home in the perfect neighborhood soon after.
Johanna says
JOSS ME! My luckiest moment was when I found the cutest shabby chic furniture for my daughter’s room for cheap!
Christine says
JOSS ME!
It feels like we’ve had a lot home improvement problems but my one lucky spark is that my parents have such great hand-me-down furniture for us. Gotta love all the antiques they’ve collected over the years.
Molly says
Joss me!!!
Jena says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest home improvement moment was the time I found the perfect buffet for my dining room… on the side of the road. For free!
Candice says
Joss Me!
Finding our home was luck! We weren’t going to even go look at it b/c the square footage seemed so small, but the pictures had shown this lovely little garden so I HAD to just go look at the place.
As soon as we walked through the door my husband and I looked at each other and we just knew it was the house.
It was so fortunate that we bought our very small house… it’s easy to clean! Cheaper for utilities and it’s just the right space that keeps our lives super simple.
Lauren says
JOSS ME! I had been searching C-list for a while for a cute buffet/sideboard but was only running into expensive and ugly. On a whim one day, I checked out the site (after 2-3 mos of having given up) and there it was! I white, shabby chic buffet that was the perfect size, perfect price, and nearby! It’s sitting happily in our living room now, and even the hubs likes it. Score and score!

JOSS ME!
We got our HE washer on closeout sale from Home Depot for 300 instead of 750, and they threw in free shipping and took our old one away for free too, score!
Janet says
JOSS ME!
I have a problem with impulsively bidding on furniture on ebay. However, this impulsive spirit led me to end up with the perfect 1960’s avocado green vinyl sofa in mint condition for a super-lucky steal!
Ashley Gross says
Joss me!
My luckiest house moment has been being able to afford a house so early in life after my parents passed away when i was 11 years old. It really has felt like my parents have been with me through the entire process of looking for a home, purchasing it, and moving in. My dad’s sister was my real estate agent adding to the luck :)
Dara says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest moment was when I (ok, my mom) found my condo on-line 2 days after it when on the market. Several other people had already placed an offer, but a week later the bank accepted my offer!! I have been in the condo for a month and I am loving it!
Nikki says
JOSS ME!
Our good luck came when we bought our house – it got reduced 20k just before we went to look at it for the first time. We fell in love, put in an offer, and have been living here for 3 months now! :)
Kristen says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest homeownership moment: we wanted to buy new construction, but I was afraid we were going to end up divorcing over all the millions of decisions we’d have to make at the design center. Then we found a spec home (already built) and it had everything exactly as we wanted it! Crisis averted!
Nora says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest find was my $13 end table.
joy says
JOSS ME!
Amanda says
Joss me! Our house was a super lucky find – totally perfect in the best neighborhood, super cute and well cared for! We went under contract the day it was listed. I love it!
Gina says
JOSS ME!
I work across the street from an upscale, outdoor nursery and they always put stuff out on the street behind the store when something has seen better days. Have picked up ridiculously expensive plants for free and with a little TLC they are thriving!
Judy Towell says
Joss Me. Love scoring at the local Habititat for Humanity Resale store locally. Great bargains, especially lighting. Bought several cabinet doors for $1.00 each just to get some fabulos hardware.
Stephanie says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest home improvement find is my dad! His brain and garage are full of just about everything I’ve needed to help me fix up my new-old house with my husband. He’s helped us fix our water heater, install our new dishwasher, patch up monstrous holes in the drywall, and totally rip out and renovate our master bath. And he’s always been generous when we’ve needed to borrow/steal everything from nails and strips of scrap wood to tile cutters and entire bathtubs! He is definitely my lucky charm :)
Kate Graham says
JOSS ME!
I was lucky enough to inherit my family’s 1920’s radio! I casually mentioned to my mom when they were getting new carpet & all their furniture was uprouted that I would like to have it “someday.” I was completely suprised when she said that my dad (who actually refinished it a few years back) would bring to to my house the following weekend. It’s now proudly displayed in my living room for all to see when you first enter the home.
Maddy says
Please Joss me!
My recent moment of luck in my home was some wonderful thrifting. I found a couple of current items at good will! Love it!!
Emily says
JOSS ME! Moving from a tiny 600 sq ft apartment to a 2800 sq ft house, were were really lucky to find not one but two new, gorgeous sofas at a clearance warehouse for $500 each.
Heidi says
JOSS ME! :)
I haven’t been in my first solo apartment very long, so I don’t have much, but I did manage to score a whole set of Mikasa dinnerware, a table w/ barstools, and various pots & pans from coworkers :)
Jessica says
JOSS ME! I lucked out finding the perfect dog at an adoption event and I wasn’t even looking!
Muriel says

Emily says
Joss me! I feel like I get lucky with everything in my home…it all seems to go together well and I love it all!

JOSS ME!
Rachel says
JOSS ME!!!
Not huge, but I was excited to get 6 catmint plants at Lowes from the “dead” shelf for 25 cents a pop. A week and a little water later, they are some of the best looking plants in the garden!
Jessica says
JOSS ME!
Still waiting on a super lucky find! But at least no particularly bad home-related luck so far (knock on wood…).
Allison Suter says
JOSS ME! My luckiest coincidence was when my future husband and I both randomly went on exchange to Hong Kong at the same time, where we go reacquainted (we had previously met at a dorky business school conference) and fell in love!
courtney says
JOSS ME! our luckiest moment so far has been to save up for the house of our dreams while house sitting a relatives house for a few years! It may not be in the ideal location, but we are saving oodles by not paying sky high rental prices! :)
