We searched 4 sites endlessly day after day – I kept a couple sites open refreshing every hr to see the newly listed homes – and lo and behold, it paid off! We got off work early that day and made an offer that night. Its been a little over a year, we’ve made lots of improvements/changes, and we continue to say how lucky we are. It’s our baby girl’s first home – so it is that much more special.

Luckiest home-improvement moment… when my wife found a sweet chandelier light fixture on the side of the road (in perfect shape), just waiting for the trash truck (or us) to pick it up.

Kristin says
JOSS ME!
my luckiest home improvement moment was getting a dresser my grandmother had painted. It is beautiful! and I love that my grandma is so talented.
Lexi says
JOSS ME!
Just found an amazing vintage seltzer bottle at a local antique store for a great price. And it is the most beautiful turqouise color ever!
Jess says
JOSS ME!! I’ll go with the lucky West Elm pendant light in our dining room. I’d been lusting after it for weeks, and we finally decided to splurge on it. As it turns out, my cousin works at WE and was able to purchase the light at 40% off, plus it was already 20% off since they were having a sale. Then she put some more cash toward the light as a belated wedding gift. So in the end, we spent about $27 for a fabulous piece that totally makes the room!

JOSS ME! My luckiest home moment was when we inherited an antique record player from my husband’s great grandmother. It plays metal records.
Sara says
JOSS ME! the luckiest moment we’ve had is discovering an awesome handyman…neither of us are very good with power tools (except for the circular sander)!
Jemi says
JOSS ME! Similar to what someone else said, our luckiest moment involved not getting the first house that we had bid on. It would’ve really stretched our paychecks and I am so grateful that God provided what we needed in due time:)

Lisa says
JOSS ME!
Luckiest thing in my house are the horsehoes over the front door. A tradition I learned from my mom… No matter how many times we moved (12x in 15 years!) there were ALWAYS horshoes over the front door.
Lindsey @ A Pear to Remember says
Joss me, pretty please : )
Kara says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest home improvement moment was finding one of my favorite-styles of chairs for free sitting alongside the road. A few yards of beautiful fabric later and I had my dream chair!
Jennifer says
JOSS ME!
Most of my home improvement projects have been UNlucky. But we were lucky in finding our house days before it went on the market and being able to make an offer and get the house right away. Though in retrospect with all of our projects, maybe that was unlucky too…
Neely says
JOSS ME!
After finding out I had to relocate to a new city, my cousin called to tell me he was moving out of his place and asked if I wanted to check it out. It was lucky timing and saved loads of time hunting for a place to stay!
Melissa says
Joss me! We can finally see the light at the end of tunnel in our big bath redo!
Niki says
JOSS ME!! My luckiest house moment was when my mother-in-law came across your blog and sent me the link.
Maureen says
Joss Me! My luckiest home improvement moment just happened. We wanted to re-do our bathroom which has very old school hexagonal tiles on the floor, but we realized that when we pulled out the vanity, there were no tiles under it. Boo! Then…we cleaned out the garage and found a box of the tiles! Woohoo!!

I have been on a “cleaning out my (closet)house” spree and my luckiest home improvement moment has been finding the perfect boxes and shelf liner to help me organize and clean-up! I also want to (suck up) thank you YHL for all the great ideas & how-to’s to get my home in order!
Arrie says
Joss me!
I am lucky to have a roommate whose style matches mine, who agrees that “too matchy matchy” is a thing to be avoided at all cost.
Robin says
JOSS ME!! A couple of years ago, I had my eye on a modern IKEA shelving unit, but the problem was that it cost almost $400. I sweet talked the salesperson into calling me when they took the display away, and I scored the whole unit for $1 per piece, so $7 total. It was an amazing deal and it fits perfectly into my boyfriend’s office. I don’t know if I’ll ever get that good a deal again!
Elizabeth says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest moment was a (had-to-have-no-matter-what) $5 flea market dish that polished up to a very nice piece of sterling silver!
Kelly says
JOSS MEE (please)!!!!!
I found the perfect chair to reupholster this weekend at the very first garage sale I hit! I say it was pretty lucky :)
Brittany says
Joss Me!
My luckiest moment was when we found a coffee and end table for the living room at a thrift store for $25 total, and I found them online for like $400. Yipee!
Kate Y says
JOSS ME!!!
We went to check out a cute little apartment with a real estate agent, but when we decided the place was too small and too expensive, the agent took us down the street to a beautiful townhome with much more space that had just been put up for rent that week! We’ve been loving it ever since.

My luckiest moment was…. still waiting for it!
Rose says
JOSS ME!
We found our TV cabinet on the street just as it was starting to rain and rescued it! It is a burled veneer from the 1950s, with original handles and casters. I have seen similar TV cabinets at antigue malls for $200-400 and we got ours for FREE! We felt very lucky that day!
Beth H. says
JOSS ME!
We were lucky that the last home owners installed a beautiful pergola in the backyard. We already loved the house, but the pergola sealed the deal.
Jen T. says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest home improvement moment was when my parents decided to give us money for new vinyl siding and windows for our house as a wedding gift. A life-saver!
Lauren S says
JOSS ME!!!
We just scored the dining table of our dreams on Craigslist. Its perfect for the small space we have now, but extends to seat at least 10, which will be great when/if we move. WOOT!
Sarah says
JOSS ME!
Sold our last house in 2 weeks. Lucky.
Sara says

Leigh says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest moment: finding a battered, gutted, foreclosed disaster of a house in a FABULOUS neighborhood, for a song. Fixed it up and brought it back to life. I’ve been living there two years now…and love it.
Brooke says
JOSS ME!!! I’d have to say I haven’t experience much luck when it comes to home improvement projects! :) It seems like our house is always full of little “surprises”!
Kelly Carlson says
Joss me! My luckiest home improvement moment was when I was a West Elm gift certificate for $500! That was pretty damn sweet. I hope I haven’t used up all my good karma and can win this one too!
Sarah says
JOSS ME!
I’d say my luckiest home moment was when I found my apartment I lived in previously. It was so close to town & had two bedrooms & a little back patio & front porch & was so cute! I loved that place. I only got to live there a year though… my husband wanted to move closer to the hospital where he works :( I keep trying to make changes to our current place to make me like it more, but I’m not to loving it yet…
katlyn says
JOSS ME! :)

I can’t even pick one moment! The goodies I have found at Goodwill, thrifting, resaling and garage sales is insane! who could ever shop full retail???? NOT ME!

We had a ridiculously lucky home adventure. We were on the market for our forever home. While looking, my husband and I kept saying we wished we could just find a house like his grandmothers (which happened to be the house he lived in when we were dating in high school). Wouldn’t you know it – the house across the street from his grandmothers’ goes up for sale. It has the exact same layout and actually even better details. It was even where his grandmother’s best friend lived. We put an offer down immediately and are so happy!
