Joss Me!
Probably the luckiest thing to happen to me was that I was not accepted into a School of the Arts for my senior year of high school… which caused me to meet my husband (yes, we are high school sweethearts).
Lacey says
JOSS ME! The luckiest we ever got was selling our house FSBO in a down market in a month above what we expected to the nicest guy ever. When we accidentally sent our christmas gifts to our old address from Amazon, he mailed them overnight and refused to let us pay him back : )
Morgan says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest moment was when, after spending countless hours in the store looking at furniture and whatnot, I got a job at Pier 1. The best part? I got 25% off of every purchase I had made right before I got the job (practically my entire living room)!
daniela says

Michelle Lynne says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest moment in home ownership is finding the perfect person & fur-face to share it with: my hubs & our five pound Yorkie. I love coming home….
Morgan says
Joss Me!
One of my luckiest moments was when I discovered the awesomeness of Home Goods. I had never been to one before because there was never one in my town.
Jesser says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest moment in home ownership hasn’t happened yet-just graduated college! But I was definitely lucky to be the first person to look at my current apartment, because it turned out to be a steal!

Our luckiest moment was finding a great home a few months ago.
Jill says
JOSS ME!!!
Hmm, luckiest moment was probably when I had been looking for a new duvet/shams for six months and one day I wandered onto ZGallrie and found the most gorgeous aqua creation on sale :) ohhappy day!
Rochel @ barefootandcooking says
JOSS ME!
My husband and I were just talking last night about how we finally have to buy some furniture and work on making our apartment feel more like home.
I think my luckiest moment was when I bought a non-refundable couch a few years ago without measuring the wall space first. The couch fit with literally less than 1/2″ on either side. Talk about bad planning.
Laura says
joss me!
I have the most comfortable couch in the world (though it is an ugly green plaid) because when I was helping my friends move they couldn’t manage to get it into their basement.
Lauren Holbrook says
JOSS ME!!!!!!!
My luckiest- thats hard. I’ve been pretty lucky thanks to good ol’ craigslist, but my best would be the antique curvy dresser we scored from my husband’s grandparents when they sold their house and downsized. They were going to throw it away. Most of these things are going for a pretty penny now days
Kaitlin says
joss me!
I think the luckiest ‘home moment’ I’ve had was when I found the perfect bowl at Target.. but couldn’t stand paying over $50.00 for it. When I was on my weekly Goodwill run later that week, I found the same bowl for only $7.99!!!
Brandy says
“JOSS ME!”
Autumn says
JOSS ME! I’m always at Habitat for Humanity scoring good deals on farm and home improvement items. <3 that place!
Kelsey says
JOSS ME!!!!
My luckiest moment was when my husband and I moved into our current apartment our landlord let us use an extra refrigerator he had and if we renewed our lease the refrigerator would be ours. We are in the process of moving and very happy that the fridge gets to come with us!! :-D
Lorin says
Joss Me!
I’m still waiting for my lucky house moment!

Joss me! and i found the perfect knobs to spruce up a vintage armoire for our bedroom in our cute little rental house…we were married 10.10.10 ( I know you can appreciate that Sherry!)
christina says
JOSS ME!
When we found the perfect bookcase to fit our wall to be used as our console/sideboard. It took so long to find something with the right dimensions :)
Michelle says
JOSS ME! We just bought a house & it was the first one we looked at!
Ana says
JOSS ME!!!!
Luckiest moments in home improvement: finding my dream barstools for $24 at Target and successfully DIY-ing YHL-style curtains for the entire house.
Abby says
Joss me!!!
My “luckiest” housing moment was having a brother who owns an empty condo in the perfect location right by my new job!!
Devlin says
Joss me, please :-)
You four are the best inspiration!
Ashley says
JOSS ME!
wish I could think of something but unfortunately we have had nothing but home improvement and home purchase BAD LUCK!
Caiti says
JOSS ME! I just closed on my new house today and have been freaking out for quite some time about certain ‘perfect’ pieces. However, my parents were cleaning out their closet and gave me a great dresser (now TV table) that I was able to paint plum. It was FREE and looks perfect.
Meghan says
JOSS ME!
Honestly we’re pretty lucky everything in our 1920 farmhouse is working and in good condition. We just got married and will need to save up a bit more money before we start on any major home improvements.
Katie M says
JOSS ME anddddd my luckiest moment was renting a house where we were allowed to repaint the walls in whatever style we liked. It’s been great fun deciding how to decorate, so this would be even more fun!
Kris says
“JOSS ME!”
Luckiest home improvement would be my recent epic trip to houston when I fell head over tea kettle in love with this wooden patio set from ikea. Sadly I had flown in but one of my friends drove in. She didn’t know if her car’s back seat folded down but that didn’t stop me from wishing and praying the flat pack 85 lb box would fit. AND IT DID! I owed her a solid for driving it back for me and made her my best pasta and wine dish and we celebrated our friendship on the back porch on my new awesome patio furniture. VICTORY!!
Kristin says
JOSS ME!!!

My luckiest home improvement moment was getting our game table from my grandmother. She no longer had room for it and offered it to me. It’s a great round low table she got in Japan that has pie shaped seats that slide underneath it. I always get compliments on it.
Krystle says
JOSS ME …please!our luckiest moment was getting a tip that this house was going on the market-or might not even make it there- as a quick sale. it was a freezing, snowy, night in December and in the dark we looked at it! we out bid quite a few others and got the house 2 weeks later. its good to know people and we are so lucky because it never made it officially on the MLS or even open to the general public.
Melissa says
JOSS ME!
I just got super lucky a few weeks ago and found my first house, which I love. It was like trying on wedding dresses – you just know!
Blair says
JOSS ME! My luckiest moment was having my heart broken when a contract fell through on my first house only to have the first home of my dreams pop up on the market that same day. I made an offer that night!
Allison Krumpe says
JOSS ME!
Haley says
JOSS ME! I bought my first new piece of furniture (I’m a grad school student, coming straight out of college) at a great deal. A clean-lined club chair in a neutral-but-textured fabric was the floor piece at a local furniture store going out of business so I got it for around 75% off. I would love to win the e-spree for a new coffee table or an accent chair and some decorative interest pieces.
Ben says
JOSS ME!
I got lucky when I found my decorator – my wife!
Jessica Diamond says
JOSS ME!
Jennifer says
JOSS ME! My luckiest moment was finding the perfect apartment during my two years in business school!
Kathy says
JOSS ME!!!!
The best home serendipity I have experienced was marrying a man who thinks I have great taste and trusts me when I say “don’t worry, you are going to LOVE it!”
