I found all of our bedroom furniture at garage sales and have refinished them. $20 for a wood dresser and $35 for an armoire. Can’t beat that!

Joss me!!! My luckiest moment was finding a coffee table and matching end table made from solid wood with really cool designs on the legs sitting right outside the dumpster at our apartment complex. Sanded and painted – it looked brand new!
Mandy France says
JOSS ME!
Gonna have to say that my luckiest moment was when our first house we were on contract for fell through and we found our current house by chance. We are so lucky that first deal went through, because we got a better house..for cheaper!

My lucky moment just happened! I picked up 4 wine glasses at pier 1 and spent $1. They have a $10 off coupon floating around and I totally scored some already marked down awesome glasses!
Nicole says
Joss Me!
And my luckiest improvement was a gnarly old desk that my mom and I found and refinished. It was seriously gross and be brought it back to life with at least an oil drum of elbow grease.

Juliet says
JOSS ME! Our luckiest home improvement was pulling up the carpet in our 1st house finding beautiful floors that really just needed a good cleaning. That small house also sold within 3 days after putting it on the market we were so shocked.
leah says
Joss Me!!!
I would love to win this. My luckiest moment was finding the perfect blue/gray armchair at my grandfathers house, which he was trying to find a new home for. Score!!!! It is one of my favorite things since it lived in my grandparents house forever, and it went perfectly in my bedroom.
Bethany says
JOSS ME!
The only thing we’ve really scored is linens. I like to save up points from my credit card (which we always pay off) and use them to get gift cards. My favorite gift card purchase was for some pottery barn bedding that I only had to pay shipping for!
Usha says
JOSS ME!!
Luckiest moment was when we sold our dream house for over the asking price in this crazy market — before we put it on the market. one email to a friend and house sold that evening :)
Nicole says
JOSS ME!
We haven’t been lucky in the home search department yet. However, I’ve been stocking up on cute items to place on my future walls! This giveaway would certainly help! :)

My luckiest moment has been the amazing armoire that was left here when we bought the house. It gives the house such character.

I scored an awesome dresser off ebay for $50. I repainted it, installed some new hardware, and everyone that walks in my house asks where I got it :)
Chelsea S says

I actually haven’t come across any “luck” when it comes to our home purchases or improvements..so winning this would be awesome!!
Stacy says
JOSS ME!
This past winter I fell in love with a super soft throw for our couch. It was such a dumb thing to fixate on, so the next time I saw it, and it was on clearance, I knew it was time to buy it!
Danielle G says

My home improvement luck was finding some amazing sports picture frames that were to die for for my sons room, at Pottery Barn Kids…. they were too much money, so I made them myself, and they looked even better! “)
Ginger M. says
Joss Me! I would say we had fortunate luck selling our first home in 10 days in the middle of January in Boston in between two major snow storms that dumped over 60 inches. The luck continued by finding our new home in Washington DC shortly thereafter which got us out of living with my in-laws. We’re looking forward to updating our much in need home.

E.Lefebvre says
JOSS ME!
Hmm… I don’t own my home, so I haven’t had a “lucky” moment yet. However, my great aunt gave me a beautiful family heirloom – a singer sewing machine in perfect condition made in the early 1900s. So someday, that gift will sit in my home :-)
Erica M. says
JOSS ME!
I found the mid century perfect chair (beautiful teak and white leather), which I negotiated down to $28 from $50 at The Melrose Trading Post in LA. I’d say it was a very lucky find!
Brittany D. says
Joss Me…my “joss”iest home improvement moment was finding the perfect desk to mirror for our office for only $35 at a Thrift Store.

JOSS ME!
Amy in Pittsburgh says
JOSS ME!
Our luckiest moment was getting our full-size washer and dryer up our stairs to achieve the dream of having a 2nd-floor laundry. It was touch and go for a while, and our bannister and wall were somewhat bruised in the process, but now that they’re installed, I’m beyond thrilled.
Mickie says
JOSS ME!
Jess says
JOSS ME!!!!: My luckiest day in home improvement was marrying my husband because he is extremely handy with all things home improvement. Right now, he is building a four year old a princess castle bed:) Although, I will admit I get tired of our house being full of “projects”. And in answer to your Sookie question in your earlier post, Sherry, I am an Alcide fan. However, we don’t have HBO so I haven’t watched the series, I have only read the books, which are FANTASTIC if you haven’t had a chance to read them!
Sandy says
Joss Me!
Luckiest moment was finding an amazing display cabinet at an even more amazing price!
