We found our perfect house just 2 weeks after the sellers put it on the market “on a whim” and 1 week after the first buyers backed out!

Joss Me!
I am not feeling terribly lucky today, my roof (that costs 60% more than the original estimate) just started leaking today…a week after its’ completion. Perhaps we should have DIY’ed it and saved some big bucks. Then when it leaked, at least we would have some cash in our pockets to retail therapy away the woes.
Shawna says

I am still waiting on my lucky home improvement moment…maybe it will be winning this shopping spree!!
Lisa says
JOSS ME!!!!!

Kris says
JOSS ME!
It didn’t feel very lucky at the time, but my luckiest moment was when my fridge finally died so I could buy the one that I seriously get pleasure from opening every day!
mariah says
JOSS ME! I’m in love with “the Joss” but have yet to make the plunge and purchase something. I’d love to win this spree!! My luckiest home related moment would have to be the little moments over time that have helped me fall in love with my house, as I didn’t in the beginning. :)
Jess K. says
Joss me!
My luckiest home improvement was finding your blog! You guys have tons of ideas and are full of inspiration!
Devyn says

Finding my old barn door and making it into a table :)

JOSS ME!!!!!!
Jackie says
Joss me!
I was fortunate enough to have a grandfather who made a house full of solid wood furniture (and a great-grandmother who came back and insisted on painting it all olive green).
Allison says
JOSS ME! Our luckiest home improvement story was finding a new faucet that we needed in a very expensive brand and finish for just a fraction of the original cost.
Amber McGinnis says
JOSS ME!
I just recently found a vintage school desk for $9! Spray painted it kelly green and painted the top with chalkboard paint. My 2 year old loves it!

Leah says
JOSS ME!
My husband and I waited 6 months on a next-to-impossible “short” sale townhome…met every obstacle along the way…and we got it!
Anne says
JOSS ME
I found an original broyhill brasilia dressor in great condition on craigslist for $25! My best score.
Anna S. says
JOSS ME! We scored two wicked awesome (and brand new) chairs for the price of one.
Ruth P. says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest moment so far was finding out that I’ll be moving into a house just a few days after deciding not to buy some new curtain rods for my current place.
Ali says
JOSS ME!
Angim says
JOSS ME! The house we wanted was not sold at auction!
Kathryn says
Joss me! Please!
Our luckiest home improvement story would be the time we drove the 6 hours to the closest IKEA to order our new kitchen cabinets, after debating the two best options available for MONTHS but neither being exactly perfect for what we wanted… we’d finally decided to choose one or the other knowing either one would be OK. Once we arrived in the kitchen department ready to order, we looked up on the display wall to find a just released BRAND NEW door style which was EXACTLY perfect for what we both wanted! This was 8 years ago but we still looooove our cabinets and love that lucky moment that wound up with our fantastic DIY IKEA kitchen which saved us thousands of $$$!
Corie says
Joss me!
I was really lucky to score some cheap furniture in Ikea’s As Is section recently!
Thomas says
JOSS ME!
Leah says
Joss Me!!! Not sure if this counts, but our luckiest home moment was finding a microwave at a yardsale for $5! After cleaning it up, it looked just as nice as the brand new ones being sold for $200 :)

Kelly Lewis says
“JOSS ME!”
When my dad moved he gave us his hot tub. Oh snap!
Allison says
JOSS ME!
I stumbled upon a to-die-for set of mid-century modern dishes on Craigslist, and the seller was willing to give them to me at an amazing price because I reminded her of her college-age self.
Ashley G says
Joss Me! Maybe if I win I’ll experience a lucky decor moment!
Lauren says
Joss Me!
My luckiest home improvement moment was the day I married my husband. He’s a great handyman who thinks anything is possible to DIY!
Thomi says
JOSS ME!
Jessica says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest moment…I suppose would be receiving hand-me-downs from my grandparents. They are special, free, and have new meaning now.
Diana says
Joss ME! No real luck here-hoping to come into some with our huge upcoming draperies project!
Kate says
JOSS ME!!
Gosh, I would say the luckiest moment for us was just finding a house we could afford during the insane housing prices 6 years ago.
Mandy says
JOSS ME!
We ended up getting our house completely renovated for a not renovated price! And I found our living room set brand new at a consignment shop for $350. Brown suede couch, love seat, ottoman (which we converted into a coffee table), and a chair :)
Monica M says
Joss Me!!
Luckiest find was our recently purchased bank-owned 1/2 finished house that we got for a steal and now love and call our own!!
Sara says
Joss me! My luckiest moment would def be when I finally realized I had determined the style we liked. Our house has always been such a hodge lodge! Luckily our stuff fit in fine with some paint and moving stuff around.
Kristen says
JOSS ME!
When I bought my new (and first) house I found that underneath my cheap pergo floors were the original hardwoods from 1949. They are full of character and lovely! That’s the first thing everyone comments on when they come over!
Sally says
“JOSS ME” Would like to get lucky and sell my house!
Erika says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest moment has been the fact that armoires are readily available on craigslist right now with everyone converting to flatscreen tvs.
leslie says
JOSS ME!!!
Suzy C says

My luckiest find? An eames shell chair in the garbage — excellent vintage condition!

JOSS ME!
I found a GORGEOUS, huge (takes up half my wall) painting last weekend at an Estate Sale for only $20. It has inspired me to go Estate Sale shopping again this weekend!
Lisa says
JOSS ME!!!! My husband and I are closing on our first home at the end of August and it’s going to need a lot of work. My husband is an electrician and one day last week the builder asked him if he wanted some leftover trim for our new house. I thought we’d get a few pieces to get us started, but lo-and-behold…we got enough to do our entire house and then some. Beautiful 6″ baseboard molding, case molding, crown molding, shoe molding, and even a hand rail for the stairs! Talk about good luck! :)
Kaylan says
Joss me!
We have scored some AMAZING deals of furniture on sale recently. A coffee table that was $100 we got for $30. A kitchen table that was $140 bought for $60! Wahoo!
Monica says
JOSS ME! I love thinking of creative ways to use things for different purposes – tablecloths for curtains, framed place mats for wall art:)
Tabitha says

One of my favorite pieces of furniture is a gorgeous double bookcase that I scored for free from a friend of my parents who was redecorating. It completes the master bedroom and looks like it was custom made for it. :)
