And my luckiest home improvement moment is the time that my fiancee fixed our toilet with a paper clip and saved us $700 in plumbing repairs!

JOSS ME!
The purchase of our house was lucky– I saw the MLS posting on a Monday, called the agent and she said it had already gone under a purchase and sales with a buyer, but to call Tuesday at noon because it looked like her financing was not going to go through. Low and behold, it did not and Tuesday night I saw the house with my father (husband was out of town). Saturday afternoon my husband and mother came to see it– husband wanted me to write the offer check before he even saw the whole house! We got the house the next Monday, beating out three other bidders :)
It was all meant to be– the house is on Lincoln Avenue and the Monday we got the call was Lincoln’s birthday– and there were five heads up Lincoln pennies in the boiler room when we did the home inspection :)
Liz says
Joss me! I haven’t had a lucky home experience yet because I’m just a renter, although I do love my apartment with its high ceilings and hardwood floors. My fiance and I plan to buy a house soon so this would certainly come in handy.

I found my mint condition mid-century modern bedroom suite on Craigslist for $300–dresser w/ mirror, chest of drawers, nightstand & head board w/ bed frame. Pretty sweet. :)
pendy says
JOSS ME! woo hoo!
Coleen says
JOSS ME! My luckiest moment was inheriting my grandmother’s mid century modern bedroom set. It’s beautiful and always reminds me of her.
Michelle says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest recent home-related moment was when I happened to find a huge mirror leaning against the dumpster at my apartment that a neighbor had just put out while moving. The frame was also mirrored, scratched and not really my taste. Channeling some YHL, I just put on a few coats of spray paint in a cheerful blue and the mirror looks brand new. Shortly after, I saw a similar mirror at GoodWill for $70!
Kelsey says

Our luckiest house moment was finding the perfect 2.5 acres to build our dream house on!
Carter says
JOSS ME!
I don’t have a specific luckiest moment yet-but hoping that it will happen soon since I just bought my first house!
Julie says
JOSS ME!!!!
Coco says
JOSS ME!
I guess mine was unlucky. I found a perfect school teacher’s desk in Goodwill that was marked 19.99. I snatched it up and went back two days later to pick it up. Apparently the 1 was a 7 so it was 79.99! I was so sad. They did refund my money, but… harumph!
Jessica says
JOSS ME!
Probably the luckiest thing was a beautiful, large silver mirror that we scored for $20 at a barn sale!
Jeannette C. says
JOSS ME! and I think I am still waiting to have my luckiest home improvement moment! :)
Aya M says
JOSS ME!
We actually found 2 perfect(perfectly imperfect) end tables over this weekend for free! Thank you free-cycle and a very attentive husband. I’m ready for this stinkin’ hot weather to cool down so I can take them outside for a nice new coat of paint.
Kelly says
JOSS ME!

My luckiest moment to date would have to be this amazing kitchen cart that I purchased off of Craigslist for super cheap! I spray painted it and now it is one of my favorite pieces. :)
Laura @ the Diniwilks says
JOSS ME!
We heard that an acquaintance was selling her house on a street I loved as a kid. The hubs and I asked her if we could go through it before it went on the market, and we loved it so much we made an offer without ever looking at a single other house.
Elise says
JOSS ME! One of our lucky finds was a buffet chest that our neighbor two doors down was giving away. We turned into a blue- yes B-LUE and beautiful entryway table. Lucky, indeed.
Stephanie S says
Joss Me!
Pick me. Pick me. What a great prize!
RCCola says
Joss me!
Kelly says
Joss me !! The luckiest moment was actually getting my house. Another bid was in for the same amount but we got it, thankfully!!!
Ashleigh says
Joss Me!!!
Our luckiest moment was finding a house in our dream neighborhood at a price we could afford. It had been on and off the market for about 2 years and the price just kept dropping. We still don’t really know why it went so low. We’ve only been in it for about a month. Maybe time will tell? We hope not. We’re just super-happy and thankful to be there :)
Elizabeth says
JOSS ME! I just bought a giant glass wine bottle at a garage sale for $8! I thought that was pretty lucky.
Lindsey says
JOSS ME!

I found my new house (rental) literally one week before my lease was up. I had been resigned to moving into a place that I really didn’t like and was $200 more expensive until this lovely little cottage showed up. It’s truly a dream home and felt like a gift from fate.
Robin M. says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest moment was scoring a great deal on slate tile for our house…Not so lucky is the amount of time it has taken us to finish installing it!
Jennifer Vanucci says
“JOSS ME!”
Our luckiest moment would be when we spotted our home for sale. We were about to close on another home two blocks over when it became available on the market for dirt cheap. It was a foreclosure in perfect condition.
Jenni says
JOSS ME
The timing of my house purchase could not have worked out better. We closed on the 28th and my apt lease was up on the 30th, just enough time to move everything over and then clean up the apt before turning in the keys. Any delays and I would have been homeless in the interim!
Kathryn says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest home moment was when the bank accepted our offer out of seven offers for the foreclosure we bought.
Cathy says

Susan says

Just moved in to my niece’s house (she moved to a bigger home)………and loving do some updates and decorating! Feeling lucky today so come on JOSS ME!!
Sue
Becky says
JOSS ME! The luckiest house moment I’ve had was that the house we really liked was under contract when we first looked at it but wasn’t when we decided we wanted to buy it! The people who had the contract on the house later became our neighbors!
Joanna says
JOSS ME! We got our house before it went on the market for wayyyy less than the neighborhood usually goes for. Talk about luck!
Bethany says
Joss me please!
Katie Woody says
JOSS ME!!! :)
Emily says
JOSS ME!
Getting our house was lucky. We looked at it the day it went on the market and put an offer in. There were already two other offers on the table and one was cash. Some quick adjustments by our Realtor and our offer was the winner.
Kori says
JOSS ME! My decorating luck is hopefully soon to come…my fiance’s pool table is on Craigslist, I’ll feel lucky when it’s out of the house and we have a proper dining room!!

Lindsay says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest moment was the day I signed a purchase agreement for my house, which had not yet been built, and which did not have a model home on-site. That’s right, I never saw the place until the day before I closed (I was moving cross-country, so I couldn’t visit the site to see the progress). And I am completely, 100% in love with it. I wouldn’t change a thing! Now that’s lucky.
Christine says
Joss me!
Our luckiest moment was finding what we call our “forever” house last spring.
stephanie says
JOSS ME! We conveniently bought our first house right as my parents were downsizing from a 6 bedroom house to a cozy 3 bedroom retirement home. we inherited lots of great furniture from them and saved a ton!
Caitlin says
Joss me! My luckiest DIY moment was probably deciding to hang shelves as nightstands. Freed up so much space and they look great!
Thanks =)
Katherine says
JOSS ME!
thanks so much for the opportunity! I love joss & main

We found our house for dirt cheap and it came with 2+ acres of land. I also found an awesomely old 6 drawer dresser with mirror at an estate sale…for $20!! I painted it brown for the time being, but now I’m getting the itch to do something funky with it!!
Megan says
Joss me!!!!!
Luckiest house moment was when we bought our couch. Dream couch was a microsuide, dark tan color. We were thrifting one day and they were taking this amazing looking couch out of the truck, not even priced yet or on the floor for sale. We asked if it was new, and they said a family bought it and didn’t want it, so they sent it here! I begged and pleaded and got it for 150.00…price tag on it said 750.00. So that was SO exciting!
Rebecca says
JOSS ME!!!!
My luckiest moment was when we were given an antique dining set (my grandmother’s “no one is allowed to sit at the nice table!!” set) and, because of my husband’s military service, it was shipped cross country for free! Now I have an amazing set with tons of memories… that was free!
Laura says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest find ever were two leather chairs on Craigslist. I needed new chairs and had been looking for several weeks. I found them and they were barely used and were a great price!!

Barbara says

I collect a couple of things, and every time I find one, I think it’s the luckiest score yet!
