My luckiest home deal was getting our fresh out of the packaging couch and loveseat seat at the scratch and dent price. Gotta love saving a couple hundred!

JOSS ME! Our luckiest house moment was when we went in to sign the final papers on the house we built and found out that the price had just dropped so we were paying less than we thought!
Erika says
Joss me!
My luckiest home decorating moment was when my mother-in-law gave me a vase that my late father-in-law had bought and brought back from Greece while he was in the Navy. It doesn’t exactly match my decor but it is one of my most prized possessions and definitely the most special of all of my home decor items :)
Rachael says
joss me!!!!! The most recent deal I snagged was a beautiful chair for our living room. It was originally around nine hundred dollars but we found it in the clearance section, and the sales person ended up giving it to us for $399. Its super nice and has an amazing patterned fabric. Thrilled with the purchase!
Dianne Callahan says
JOSS ME!! Pretty please!
My most recent lucky find was a totally cool sort of industrial farmhouse style coffee table with a wood top and iron rack underneath at a yard sale for $4!! I snapped it up, painted the wood a creamy white, sanded and distressed it, and stenciled a black number 4 on it (our family inside joke). I love it beyond words!
Rebekah Lyn says
JOSS ME!!
My luckiest moment is when i got a bookshelf… for free! I’m planning on sanding it down and painting it pretty soon!
Liz Roman says
The luckiest home moment for me was getting a great apartment right after college. It was taken off the market for renovating during the peak of the rental market season (I live in a college town so people are always looking for an apartment for Sept). The rent was lowered and I didn’t have to pay the broker’s fee or pay last month’s rent ahead of time.
JOSS ME!
Kristin says
JOSS ME!
We found the perfect home to rent online for a great deal and signed the lease without seeing it! We lucked out!
abby says
JOSS ME!! I am not very lucky, but did score a great dresser for FREE from our neighbors after being on the hunt for one for forever!

JOSS ME!!!!
My luckiest moment happened when we replaced our front door. The manufacturer was having a 20% off sale, we were able to use my husband’s 10% military discount on top of that, and we had a coupon for 10% off the installation!! I got my dream door and love the look of my first home so much more now!

JOSS ME!
My luckiest home ownership was selling our first condo for above asking price in one weekend. Hope we are as lucky when we try to sell our house in a few months!
Megan says
JOSS ME!!
My luckiest purchase the time I was perusing the Internet for rugs and of course I fell in love with one from Anthropologie. This rug was on sale down from $395 to just $55! I died. Best. Find. Ever.
Kate says
JOSS ME!
I was shopping in our downtown antiquing shops and found chest of drawers. It was art deco style and already striped down to bare wood. But the best part was that when i asked about the price it was $40! I painted it white and found some neat hardware on etsy! It is a great addition to my bedroom.
Nora Dolder says
JOSS ME!!!
My lucky moment was in being able to buy our dream home! We found our dream home but couldn’t put an offer in until we sold ours. In the meantime, the owners had a family medical issue and the home was no longer for sale! Our awesome realtor spoke to the owners and they remembered us and sold us their home. Lucky Lucky!
Laura Riley says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest moment in home ownership was when I found a patio set at a ritzy garage sale for $40!! Score!

JOSS ME!
Saw a coffee table at the pottery barn outlet I loved, but needed to wait til the following weekend to have the truck to buy it. When we went back, it was on sale for half the price!

My best find was the 1940’s waterfall furniture I purchased last year. Its so beautiful, and in great shape. And my grandmother loves it too….

Joss Me!!!!!
Kristen says
JOSS ME! We found a TV cabinet at Home Goods. “Their” price = $4000. Home Goods price = $1200. Home Goods clearance price (which we paid) = $400. :-) I’m so glad we have something to lock all of our media in now that we have a little man toddling around and grabbing at everything!
Lauren says
Joss me!
I found an old, beat-up cast iron sink with drain boards on both sides at a Habitat store. I really, really wanted it to fit on our existing cabinets. I bought it, re-enameled it, and it fit perfectly!
AirForceMan says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest moment was having my father-in-law help me paint our entire house, ceilings and closets too! It helped us save a ton of money that we could put into making the home feel like “us”.
Megan says
JOSS ME! I’ve found most of my bookshelves, and even a (nice) leather chair on the side of the road! Whoo hoo!
Shelly D says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest home moment is really 18 years of luck- and growing up under the same roof from birth until I moved off for college :)
katieQ says
JOSS ME!!
One of my lucky moments was when we needed a new roof on our house. That doesn’t sound lucky, but a new house was being built next to ours and the owner was a carpenter. We liked the way his roof looked and he gave us the name of the guy who installed it. He did a great job, quickly, and at a fair price (something unheard of in our area).
claire says
Joss me!
My luckiest home moment was looking at only one house and knowing that that was the one my husband and I wanted to buy!
Michelle Crenshaw says
Joss me.
I’ve been looking for a mirror window for a few months, and then finally found it at the Salvation Army for $3.50.
YAY
Caroline Grider says
JOSS ME!
And it was when I found EXACTLY the rustic-y and fabulous coffee table I had been looking for at a thrift store for $20 :)
Kate says
Joss me!
My luckiest decorating moment was when my mother-in-law made me the most BEAUTIFUL quilt I have ever seen as a birthday gift when my husband and I were still dating. I absolutely love it and get complements all the time
WI Gal says

Stephanie M says
JOSS ME!! I found an awesome nightstand in the garbage. It is now painted and sitting in my guest room. Gotta love free stuff!!

Joss Me!
Eva says
Joss ME!!
We’ve had a ton of luck with our first home when it comes to friends who “just happen” to know how to fix/install things we need help with around the house. So far we’ve had friends help lay down tile, remove trees, and repair our hot water heater, among other things.
Faye Roohi says
JOSS ME POR FAVOR!
Laura says
My luckiest home improvement score…a pottery barn rug I’d been eying in the catalog for at least two years. I received a gift card from a family member for my birthday and finally decided to take the plunge and buy it. I ordered it online and discovered it was on back order forever. In that time period I chickened out and canceled it. Shortly thereafter I was browsing the store randomly one day and found the exact same rug and size in the sale bin for a deep discount. Someone had returned it for me to find the beauty without a single defect! SCORE!
