Joss me! My lucky house moment was scoring an 8×10 area rug for $56 including shipping! The living room looks great with it. But, I am looking forward to my favorite joss moment this weekend. When my husband to be and I dance for the first time as husband and wife to Joss stone’s ‘god only knows’ at our wedding reception!
Emily says
Joss me!
My luckiest home improvement moment was being able to hand-pick from a house full of mid-century modern furniture left behind when my husband’s great aunt died. All in mint condition!
Beth says
Joss me! I found a cute orangey/ red ginger jar lamp at a yard sale this spring for $15 dollars. I was convinced it would look perfect on my nightstand. All I needed was a matching lamp, those are common right? Wrong. I looked everywhere. They were listed on eBay as supa-dupa expensive (like at least $100) and in the wrong color. I searched for months until randomly one day on etsy I saw it’s perfect twin for $22 + shipping. Perfect!
Kelly says
JOSS ME! Luckiest home improvement find was original hardwood floors in our 1910’s home. It cost us a fraction of what it would’ve cost us to install new hardwood!
Rebecca says
Joss me!
My best find was $5 pillow shams at marshalls that perfectly match our duvet!
Lea says
JOSS ME!
My husband and I were damn lucky getting the condo we live in now: great location, great landlord, great price, great layout!
Erin @ His and Hers says
JOSS ME! um…lucky home things…we got our couch for $500 less than retail by shopping the “scratch & dent” room at Raymour and FLanigan!
Dave says
JOSS ME!
Autumn says
JOSS ME!!! I just did my VERY first DIY project! I can’t believe I can use spray paint (though I did spray my camera and my foot…). I now have brought my vintage map table to new glory and it sits proudly in my blue foyer, a sparkling metallic silver! It’s the little things!
erin says
Joss me please!
Taly says
JOSS ME!
Luckiest moment was previous tenants leaving in such a hurry they left a stock pile of tools and improvement items!
Elizabeth says
JOSS ME! Our luckiest home improvement was the island my father-in-law built for us by hand. He made sure to match the cabinets and not only is it a perfect fit for our kitchen but means so much to us because he created it.
Becca says
Joss Me!
I haven’t had my luckiest moment yet. I’m still saving for my first home.
Lynn says
JOSS ME!
I’m lucky in that I have a very flexible landlord who allows me to experiment and switch things up in the house!
Kristina says
JOSS ME!
We knew that our first house was the house of our dreams the second we walked in. But…it was over our price range. Luckily, a few weeks later, the price dropped just to the top of our range and we put in an offer. But…another offer was accepted and we were the backup offer. But…the primary offer fell through and the house went to us! Wahoo!!!!
Kristina says
JOSS Me!
Joss happens to be the name of my VERY favoritest sushi restaurant in Annapolis, MD!
anne says
JOSS ME!
One of my luckiest moments was scoring my fabulous, almost-new red couch from my boss when he moved. win! :)
Annie D says
Joss Me!!!
My luckiest moment has to be the Christmas Palm Tree I found on sale. I had been stalking this tree for (sadly) years and it never went on sale…until one lucky day when it went from $50 to $13…score!!
April says
JOSS ME!
Some of my luckiest home finds have come from Craigslist.
Christi S. says
JOSS ME… finding a super cool leather trunk that was half the price of those at Pottery Barn!
Elisabeth says
Joss me!!!
My luckiest moment so far was finding the CUTEST vintage apartment with our desired move-in date only one day before leaving on vacation! It was so relieving to not have to worry during my trip about finding something when we got back, and it’s in a great neighborhood.
Cheryl says
JOSS ME!! our luckiest moment, is when an offer fell through on a house we really wanted. Turns out it was a huge blessing, as we found the house we are now in and love!!
Carrie says
JOSS ME!!!
My luckiest home decor story occurred at 11 AM on a Saturday. I was coming back from the grocery store and I drove through a neighborhood instead of the highway and stumbled upon a yard sale. I was able to buy an end table for $10 and repainted it a fun yellow. It’s my favorite piece in my bedroom! Thanks y’all!
lena says
Joss Me!!!
MegS says
JOSS ME!
My husband’s best friend always teases him that he is so lucky, and I think it’s rubbed off on our experience as homeowners. We scored our awesome little house for next to nothing (PLUS the tax credit!), got the coolest retro sleeper sofa (for our office/den/guest room) for FREE on craigslist, then got the shower curtain, rug AND comforter I had been eyeing at Anthropologie for 75% off!!!! :) Maybe my luck ran out after that, though, because I had a 15% off coupon for Anthro that month and lost it ;)
Barrett G says
JOSS ME

Joss ME!
Jesica Zapata says
JOSS ME….
Considering that we are a very young married couple our family hepled us out by giving us all of the appliances we needed for free, which was the luckiest thing that has ever happened to us.
Kim Dunn says
JOSS ME!! I actually just found a nice set of dresser drawers outside our apartment complex that works perfectly in our bedroom. It’s an old piece, but we need the storage and it fits in our little apartment!
Ashley Bowers says
JOSS ME!!
Laura says
Joss me!!! My greatest home improvement moment was creating a garden and fire pit for my entire family to enjoy. We’ve made lots of great memories out there as a family!
Jennfer says
JOSS ME!!!! <3
anna says
JOSS ME!
Our lucky moment was actually finding our house. We bought it 12 years ago for a steal (practicually). When we saw the ad in paper, I clearly remember my husband and I saying “that can’t be right!”. It was, we did, and here we are!
Meagan says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest home improvement moment was marrying my husband… he’s quite the handyman, which makes remodeling a 1930’s cottage MUCH more affordable. :)
Pam Tucker says
Joss me!
Luckiest moment… finding Flor carpet squares discounted at a DWR warehouse sale.
Chelsea says
Joss ME! My luckiest find is this amazing parlor couch I got at urban outfitters. I went in to order it and the floor model was for sale so I got it 70% off. Plus, I could take it home right then and there. Great score!
lindsay says
JOSS ME
My luckiest moment was snagging our area rug at a sale! We got it for dirt cheap!
eRin @ growing up senge says
JOSS ME!!
Our luckiest home improvement break I guess is actually more of a decorating break, but it was finding that the crib we bought fit perfectly in the little nook in our nursery. We decided it would look great there before it arrived and forgot to even measure it beforehand. The delivery guys brought it in and it fit like a glove! It was especially awesome because the room is so small and no other furniture would have fit in there!
katie v says
joss ME! Luckiest blessing in disguise… put an offer on TWO houses but the third house was by far the best. it was a lucky day for the seller too- our offer was full price the first day the house was on the market! (we didnt want to lose another lol)
Salena Santos says
Joss Me!
Having the prior owner sell us their home was the luckiest moment we have experienced. There was 5 offers and ours wasn’t the higest. She ended up picking us because she wanted a young family to move in and she wanted someone she could feel comfortable with moving in to a family house that was in her family for years.
Jen M says
JOSS ME!
We’re lucky that after looking at over 70 houses (yes, literally 70+) we found a beautiful home in wonderful shape and in a development that we fell in love with 2 months before it came on the market. Then after our offer, and receiving a counter offer from the seller, it was ours about month later!
Meg says
JOSS ME!
Our luckiest moment (and their haven’t been many – our house reno has been a disaster!) was finding drywall behind the hideous paneling!
Susie says
Joss Me!
Carrie says
JOSS ME! My home luck was that I guessed on the living room paint color, only to find that it coordinated with the curtains (still in pkg at home) perfectly!!
Emily says
joss me! i don’t know that i’ve had a particularly lucky house moment – no wait… i’ve got it. i was standing in the kitchen when the dishwasher decided to bust and spill water everywhere. not lucky as in happy, but lucky that we were able to catch it quick!
Romney says
Joss Me!!!!!
My luckiest moment was finding my little ones changing table on craigslist! Its a beautiful cherry color and the owners gave it to us for a whopping $20!! We cleaned it, shined it up a little and voila! Love it.
Sarah says
Joss me! gorgeous lamps in the garage of new house!
Jess says
JOSS ME!
I haven’t really had any fun moments yet, I’m saving for my first place :)
Marina says
JOSS ME! I’ve been shopping this site but as yet have not purchased, this sure would be a great way to get my feet wet.
