Joss me!! I think my luckiest thing is how beautiful my garden is… I keep getting flowers that I have had nothing to do with. I love it!

JOSS ME!
The day we went to close the deal on the lease of a new (but bigger) apartment that we weren’t so thrilled about, after the whole conversation, we asked again… “unless you have something else to show us…”. The perfect apartment on my dream location had become available. And now we live in it! If we hadn’t asked for the 100 time, we would not be in our dream place!

My luckiest moment happened just before closing on my house. I rented it for 5 years before buying it & decided to purchase it from my retiring landlords. The water heater blew up & they paid for a new one and the cleanup costs. If that happened after purchasing it, there is no way I would have been able to afford to do that because I was soooo cash strapped from the purchase.

My luckiest recent find was inheriting an old chandelier from my husband’s uncle which we then made fabulous with some clearance shades from Anthropologie! Only $100 and everyone loves it!
Rebecca R says
Joss ME!! I need luck, luck is never on our side. But we make the best of it!!
Jana @ The Summer House says
The best luck we had was when we bought our house when it was framed up. It had fallen out of escrow. It has a view and we don’t even need curtains in our bedroom. I love it.

My luckiest moment with my home is actually finding my place! We heard about it at the last minute from my mother in law and was able to squeeze into a walk through with owner within a few minutes and the next day it was pretty much ours!
Sara Rose says
joss me!!!!
To tell the truth we haven’t been lucky with our first home!! we bought a lemon… but we love our house and we will one day get it to the shape we want it in!

After searching for the perfect bedroom furniture and finding nothing but oversized, overly frilly, just plain dated looking things, I was just about to give up when one of the owners of the store I was in asked what exactly I was looking for. “Something dark, modern, and unfussy,” I replied. She then said, “We have a set that sounds like what you might be looking for in our storage building–we haven’t been able to sell it.” Sure enough, it was exactly what I was looking for and I got a great deal on it. Woo hoo!

Joss me!
When we renovated our house, we got a big credit when the county inspector did not require we put in a larger water pipe which the builder thought we would need–we used it on a central vac and we LOVE that!
Monica says
JOSS ME! We found a great house in our family triangle…two sisters and my parents all within 10 blocks each (plus a cousin, an aunt and an uncle…a family hexagon really…with us at the center.)
Julie B says
Our luckiest house moment was the day we closed escrow on our fixer in the neighborhood we never thought we’d be able to afford. Thank you Sherry, John, (and Clara and Burger) for all of your inspiration as we tackle our own top to bottom reno. You guys are full of the awesome. =)

JOSS ME!!!
We just had our first anniversary in our first home ever in our new beautiful city – Charleston, SC. Our “joss” is that my parents just recently moved to Charleston and found a house just down the road on our very same street! Helloooo luck…time to make da babies! ;)
Kristin says
Joss Me! We found some awesome Fritz Hansen chairs for just $300 when they normally retail for $1400. They are a perfect fit for our bedroom. =)
Natalie says
JOSS ME!!!
I scored a $1600 Pottery Barn dining table for $400 since it had a few scuffs/scratches. Since I have three boys it meant I could have a great table and not worry about who the first one to scratch it would be!!
angela B. says
JOSS ME! I just scored 3 roman shades on clearance at World market for just $12 dollars each. I saved 74 big ones with that deal.

Our house is old and everything in it was original. However, it did come with a vintage chandelier that I spray painted teal. It’s amazing!!!
Megan A. says
JOSS ME!! Recently I got a West Elm bed at the outlet for WAYYY cheap. It had a few scratches in the paint, so I just had to repaint. Awesome!

MaryGene says
JOSS ME!!! Hrmmm well I had been looking for a living room chair for a long time and finally found one at a consignment store a few months ago. It was an $800 chair for $200. I bought it and it’s PERFECT! Ah.

JOSS ME!!
We found our current house 2 days after it went on the market. It needed it bit of TLC, but it was our luckiest purchase to date and we love it!!
Kayla says
Joss me!
We’ve been rather unlucky when it comes to our housing situation, since we had to move back in with my parents (yikes… darn recession!) I did, however, score a pair of huge silk curtains for $10 (marked down from $170) once.
Kelly says
“JOSS ME!”
I found a beautiful white linen sofa for my living room at Goodwill for $72. It had an ugly slip cover on it and when I took it off, there was this beautiful sofa underneath. It was just what I was looking for!
hannah says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest was a couple of months ago when I was redoing our living room and needed a 5×8 (or so) area rug. We’ll only be in this house another year and so I didn’t want to spend a ton of money on the *perfect* rug, just wanted something doable. We were in Lowe’s looking for some lumber, and I thought I’d pop over and see what rugs they had in. They had an almost perfect one on clearance for $25! So wonderful. . .
katie says
Joss me, please :)
My luckiest homeowner moment was painting our kitchen cabinets. Luckily, it worked the first time and they look AWESOME!!
Chaney says
Joss Me!
My luckiest house moment was when I inherited a bunch a amazing furniture from my grandmother that has tons of character! I won’t have to buy furniture for a good while now :). Thanks Meme!

My most recent lucky home decorating moment was when I bossed my fiance to go grab the giant planters my neighbors placed on their curb for garbage pick up the next day. They were green, plastic and faded and he was so embarrassed to be doing it! Of course, after a little orange spray paint (I know you can appreciate that, Sherdog!) they were good as new. A few days later, I found similar ones on a deal site for $50 EACH! WIN! The “I-told-you-so” fairy maaaaay have made a little visit to our house after that. Hahaha! :)

How fun this is! OMG! I was looking for the perfect red storage bench to go at the foot of my bed. My husband and I went to 3 different Homegoods and 2 Targets in one day and finally gave up for the day. In the next week, I happened into a different Homegoods and found the perfect red leather storage bench that retailed $200; on sale at Homegoods for $100; missing a button (that I totally could hotglue on)… final price – $75!!!

Luckiest home decorating moment…wandering through a paris flea market, finding an escargot plate, and realizing that it was the perfect earring-holder.
Callie says
JOSS ME!
I’ve been feeling very lucky lately – my family has given me lots of great furniture to help get me started in my very first apartment!
Kaitlyn says
JOSS ME!

Suz McA says
JOSS ME!
I’ve found THREE (in-very-good-shape) rocking chairs in the trash on the side of the road. A matching set now live on our porch and another darling one is in our living room! Score!

I found the best. chair. ever. at a thrift store for $20. It’s more like a settee with a back on it, perfect for curling up sideways or sharing with someone you *really* like. I strapped it to the roof of my car and hauled it across the country when I graduated from college. So worth it!
