Going early to the thrift store one Saturday to get curtains I’d seen Friday. Curtains were gone, but some original art prints my husband and I love were there!

I scored a set of mid century modern dressers for FREE! I just finished refinishing (say that three times fast!) the drawers yesterday. Yeah Me!
Ursula says

Joss me!!! :)
Ginner says
Joss me! I haven’t had too much luck so far, I’m currently renting an apartment. I’m currently working on it to make less sterile and more cozy.

Joss me!
My luckiest house moment was making it home from Italy in time to view the house that the hubs and the pops deemed perfect for us. My husband found it with our RE agent the week I was in Italy and wanted to make an offer without me seeing the house. Luckily I trust my husband and father’s opinion and I told my husband to make an offer which was accepted a mere hour before I saw the house! I literally went straight from the airport (after a 7 hour flight) to the house to view it!
Jennifer says
Joss me!
I haven’t had a luckiest home improvement moment yet because I only rent an apartment and am just starting out by buying the essentials. Winning THIS would be my luckiest moment because I could make some great finds to make my apartment my own!
Casey says
Joss me! My hubby and I scored our apartment in an affordable-housing unit just in time for our move to Boston. It’s the perfect location at the perfect price. We feel very lucky!
Dylan says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest house moment was when I lost out on the first house I put an offer on. It turns out the neighborhood it was in was much worse than it had appeared. I then went on to find my current house in an amazing neighborhood.

My luckiest home moment was being able to sell our first home and buy another all with a 3 week old!
Marjorie says
JOSS ME! My most recent streak of luck has been finding amazing pieces of home furnishings and accents on Craigslist. The bargains are amazing!!!
randa says
JOSS ME!!!
we found a perfect condo after waiting for a while- but it happened to be when the time was right!
Susanna says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest moment was when I was looking to get a new couch, and I happened to hear that a friend of a friend was looking to get rid of a practically-brand-new couch on the exact day my new lease was starting. I just had to arrange for transportation and I got a brand new couch for free!
Tara Floyd says
JOSS ME! Lucky home improvements would be that my husband is handy and we save on all home improvements since we DIY.
Lindsey says
JOSS ME!!!
Lisa says
JOSS ME!
I’ve found a surprising amount of furniture on the street or on Craigslist for very low prices. There’s a certain thrill I get when finding things at thrift shops or on the street that I just can’t get any other way!
Carrisa says
JOSS ME! We bought our 1963 ranch style home 8 years ago from the original owner. And to make things better, she sold us some of her 1960’s furniture as well and it was left in the house for us. So yeah, sweet deal there.
Crystal says
JOSS ME!
I am currently renting but am planning to buy a home next year. Haven’t had a chance to get great deals on home improvement yet, but hopefully soon.
Courtney James says
JOSS ME!
Have to be finding our home and the bidding that followed :)
Betsy says
JOSS ME!!!
I love your blog!! My fave DIY so far as a homeowner has been turning an old desk into a kitchen island!
Jenn says
JOSS ME!
Fingers crossed…. We’re moving into a new home and could use the help! :)
Chrissy says
JOSS ME!
I have a pair of awesome green club chairs I got for FREE from a couple of friends of mine – they’ve worked out so well. Even better than if I had paid hundreds of dollars for them!
Solana says
JOSS ME!
Jzetz says
Oh man, JOSS ME!!!! How wonderful. I don’t have a lucky house moment yet, though finding your blog might just be it. (yes i know you are choosing the winner randomly, but a little flattery (and true flattery at that!) never hurts).
Sarra says
JOSS ME! (please:D)
My Joss moment is having the townhouse right next door to my favorite cousin come available right when we were finally in a position to buy our first home! Total bliss! Plus best neighbors ever!!!
Maria says
JOSS ME!!
After months of looking and an offer not being accepted, our dream house came on the market. We were lucky to have our offer accepted over another offering the same price! Can’t wait to move in this weekend!!!

“Joss Me!”
J. Vinson says
JOSS MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Cara! says
JOSS ME!
The entire process form when we bought our house to every element within it was pure luck. So many great stories!
Heather L says
JOSS ME!
Our lucky home improvement find was 2 cans of “oops” paint at Lowes for $5 each for the kids’ playroom (which is now being transformed into an office/library). It’s a nice neutral taupe-something we totally would have picked out and paid a lot more money for!
Darlene W. says
JOSH ME!
I’m not actually very lucky but I did inherit my grandmother’s grandfather clock. I thought that was pretty cool!
Jenny says
Joss me!!
Our joss-iest moment was finding a house that was a nearly identical match for house plans we had been in the process of creating with an architect two years before, when we abruptly had to move due to a job relocation and had to sell our empty lot and scrap the building plans. We now live in a house just like the one we thought we were going to build–just in a different town/area!
Angela says
Joss Me!!!
Mindy M. says
JOSS ME!
Alison M. says
JOSS ME!! Luckiest moment I guess still has to be the $10k Rooms to Go giftcard we got when we bought new construction! We furnished most of our first home and the pieces are still going strong- even the leather sectional we flipped for a profit!
Holly Tremblay says
JOSS ME! My luckiest moment was finding an old, but well-built TV stand in the garbage area at my old apartment. I re-painted it a dark teal color, changed the knobs, and now everyone always asks where we got it. :)
Tricia G says
JOSS ME!!!!! PLEASE!!!!
Recently found our dream home and are slowly personalizing it to our taste! This is the house my daughter will grow up in…
Melissa says
JOSS ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We are in the process of selling our lovely home and moving out of state, so I’m hoping it sells soon and we can go!!!
Callie says
JOSS ME!! My husband and I were lucky enough to be able to buy my grandparents’ old ranch house. A house that my dad grew up in, and that I’ve been going to all my life! We are slowly renovating it as our money and time allows. I feel so lucky to be in such a great old house!
Lorendia says
JOSS ME!
Luckiest moment…having THREE pieces of furniture left in the condo when I bought it and all three are perfect for the space!
Lisa B says
JOSS ME!! We got a really great deal on a house in a neighborhood we love:)
Kelly Rees says
JOSS ME!!!! (pretty please)
My luckiest moment in home ownership is the WEEK we were set to complete our closing paperwork we were notified of a major error on our original home appraisal that was going to put us having to come up with THOUSANDS last minute to make the deal go through…a tremendous amount of prayer went into those few days…our real estate agent & mortgage company were so apologetic about the error they had made that BOTH parties waived their fee’s and we weren’t out one.single. additional penny to make the deal go through!! SO blessed!
Laine says
JOSS ME!
We had been wanting a corner hutch for our dining room for quite a while, but didn’t want to spend any big bucks at this point. While I was garage sale-ing the other weekend, I happened upon a beautiful corner hutch, perfect for our dining room, selling for a mere $15 dollars! Needless to say, I snatched that puppy up in a hurry!
Maureen Clark says
JOSS ME!!!
My luckiest moment was getting a Dyson for nearly half off after lusting over them for YEARS! It should be arriving soon!
