My luckiest home improvement moment was finding out my boyfriend use to put up dry wall as a summer job and had other general knowledge/skills that are very useful and have expanded my own DIY projects!

JOSS ME!!!!
My luckiest moment was finding a wonderful little country house that needed MAJOR improvements… BUT the lucky thing about it was finding this website. Every color in my house and most of my design ideas came from your page and I thank you for it! My house is very very small, around 980 square feet, but it sits on 5 acres. There is NO ATTIC and only 3 1/2 closets in the entire house! So, thanks to your advice on storage and making it not look like storage me and my OCD can coincide in this small, but wonderful house :) I have zero design sense and without this website my place would look a hot mess.

Joss Me…My husband and I have come across a lot of good sales (my favorite, though, is shopping at secondhand stores and yard sales and totally transforming something that others would consider junk). We rent a house right now, but will be looking for a home next summer after our lease is over so hopefully luck will be on our side!!!
Linda says

My luckiest moment was finding my dream house last spring. It was hidden under layers of old-lady furniture and mauve carpeting, but it was there!
Celia says
Joss Me!
Lucky home decorating occurrences have been with getting the right paint color. For one bathroom we used a beautiful blue that was in a friend’s pool house! Love it.

JOSS ME!! My luckiest moment (or most recent) was when Menard’s gave me my money back for a storm door I bought 3 years ago!! We knew it wouldn’t work for us when we first got it home, but we had plans to make some adjustments to the decorative trim around the door frame to make it work. Well, 3 years later it still hadn’t happened so I was going to sell it on Craig’s List, but decided to check with the store first.

JOSS ME! My luckiest home improvement: finding our condo! We found one in the same complex that we really liked, but lost the bidding war–and then this one popped up, and it was in a better location in the complex!

Callie says
Joss me! Hmm. My luckiest moment lately was when I decided to replace/fix the showerhead in our *one* bathroom the day before my husband’s family came to visit. There were multiple problems with the faucet/showerhead, but when I grabbed a new showerhead from Lowes and installed it in about 5 seconds, it happened to fix *all* the problems we’d been having with the shower/bath!! Me: Wow, that was easy! ….I should have done it months ago when it first started breaking. lol.

Joss Me!
So far we haven’t had great luck with our house. In fact, I have more bad luck stories than good ones. It’s okay though because it builds character and makes us more patient with everything!
Alicia says
JOSS ME! My luckiest moment in home ownership…hmm…hard to say…finding lots of awesome furniture at my local Restore I guess…love that place!
Erin says
JOSS ME! A $2700 sofa for $700! :)
Courtney says
JOSS ME!
Since I do not own a home… I am an apartment dweller.. I have not had any luckiest moments in home ownership. But I have furnished most my apartment with cheap, but adorable, craigslist finds!
Alison K says
Joss me!
I consider the antique table my grandmother gave me for my college graduation to be lucky because it has been in our family since the 1800s and was very special to her. I think I’m luck to have it.
Crystal L. says
JOSS ME!!! My luckiest moment lately was the midcentury bedroom set (bedframe, 2 dresser, and nightstand) in perfect condition I scored at the Habitat Re-store for only $315!!!!!!!!
Veronica says
JOSS ME!
Haven’t really had a whole lot of luck in the home improvement area. I suppose our biggest home furnishing moment of luck was discovering the vintage (but totally safe and up to standard) crib was still in the family – it was a gift to my parents when I was born, and was used safely by six babies in my generation before being returned to me before my daughter was born. It was sad when she moved on to a bed, but that crib is still going strong for the next one!
Allison H. says
Joss me! just inherited some awesome mid century modern furniture!

My luckiest find was actually some three-panel art that I’d had my eye on for a while at Target. Priced high enough that I’d never pay full-price, I found a middle panel and two left panels on a clearance endcap one day; it looked like they had been purchased and returned because the buyer didn’t realize they had two lefts and no right.
Due to the pattern of the art, it was totally simple to just remove the hanging hardware from one of the duplicate panels and attach it to the other end of the frame. And voila! Cool wall art for about 25% the original cost.
Kinsey says
JOSS ME! Our luckiest home improvement moment was getting a free house to live in when we moved to Atlanta, since the landlord is a family friend. Then a week after we moved in, a huge tree fell on our house and destroyed the roof. LUCKILY we got a whole new roof, got to paint 3 rooms of the house and replace the ceiling fans, and replace all the carpet (all covered by insurance). The house was originally a crappy tear down, so it’s way better now. The landlord also let us pick all the paint colors and new fixtures!

We recently sold our house in 6 weeks and found a completely updated house with almost twice the square footage for only $20K more than our old house! We feel not just lucky but blessed to be in our new home.
