And the luckiest home improvement moment had to be when our guest bathroom vanity found us. It was a sold out home depot special buy and a month later there happen to be on sitting in the middle of the isle just waiting for us. And still at the same price! I wrote all about it here – http://materialsneeded.com/materialsneeded/archives/BeforAlmostAfter_06.09.11.php

Joss me!!!!! We were lucky to have our 1st two home offers fall through because our third was one better than the first two!

I don’t own a home, so I don’t have any super exciting lucky home-moments, but I did find a $300 rocking chair that I had been wanting for over a year on our usually boring and skimpy credit card reward site. I don’t know what made me think to look, but I’m so glad I did! Come to think of it, we also used rewards to score a kitchen aid and “grown-up” grill. Those were pretty lucky finds.

JOSS ME, JOSS ME, JOSS ME!
One of my luckiest home improvemet moments was finding a bunch of sandstone pieces in the throw away pile at a rock supply place that we used to landscape our backyard (we faced 2 raised planters & now we’re working on the fire pit)! It’s going to look awesome & it was FREE!
Catherine says
JOSS ME!!
We’ve since moved to Raleigh, but I think our luckiest moment was when we lived in Richmond. My husband found this incredible 1920s rental house in Carytown–less than a block from the Byrd Theater–on Craigslist. We arrived to the open house early and staked it out in our car. Every time someone drove down the street we were sure that we would to have to fight them for “our” place. Turned out, we were the only people to show up and were “exactly the kind of renters they hope for” so they took down the open house sign within the hour. It was ours! We couldn’t believe our luck. (That might not be the kind of home improvement you were referring to, but it was a home and a huge improvement compared to the soulless Glen Allen apartment we’d been living in…)

JOSS ME!
My lucky moment… the week my hubby and I found out we were pregnant with our first baby, I found a Jenny Lind style changing table on the curb a block from our house! Although he thought I was crazy, I dragged hubby down the street to pack it in the car and put it in the garage. Baby is due in December, and we are getting started with the transformation: a new coat of paint and new shelves. The funniest part was when my mom came over to help me unload some things into the garage, before we were sharing that we were pregnant, and I had to deny/lie to her and tell her I didn’t know that it was a changing table – ha! I told her I just found it and thought it was cute and I could “make-it-over”. It was definitely LUCKY and a find I’ll never forget!
Elizabeth says
JOSS ME!!!
My luckiest home moment was when we found out our current house was for sale in our price range, we immediately pulled out of a building contract we were in!
kelly :) says
JOSS ME! Our jossiest moment was definitely our house. 6 months pregnant, wasn’t sure how to fit a babe in the 2 bedroom @ home apt we were in. My parents were searching for a property to gain a tax break and found our little nugget of a home in our city! Perfectly renovated 90’s home with just enough cozy for a little bambino and a few more one day to come!
Erin says
The best luck I ever had was amazing antique and iron wicker furniture that I fou the side of the road. JOSS ME!!
Jenna says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest home ownership moment was getting not one but two offers on the first day we put our beloved starter home on the market. Proof positive that all our hard work paid off! Plus it felt good to know that whoever got the house was going to love it as much as we did.
Dana says
Joss Me!
We are blessed to have recieved my grandmothers hutch and dining room set when we moved into our first apartment. Thinking about painting it black so that It would look more updated and contemporary, but appreciate the history of family meals around that table. Maybe few (or more) contemporary axxessories would help us out!
Rene says
Joss me!!! Please
Melody says
Joss me!
I was a lucky person who found my perfect house the day it went on the market. Or, rather, my realtor found the house, emailed me, we went to see it that night, and I put an offer on it the next day! It’s a five year old house in an urban neighborhood of 100+ year old houses, except it was built to fit in perfectly. I love it!
Ali says
JOSS ME!
When I moved into my apt I found a framed out piece of wood above the fireplace and I thought that a piece of metal art would look good in that space. I went shopping for something above the fireplace and at the first store I went to I found exactly what I had imagined!
Allison says
Joss me!
It sounds so sappy, but I really feel like everything about our house and moving here has been lucky. My husband are always going, “Can you believe how lucky we are?”
Elyse says
Joss Me, me, me!!!! Our lucky house moment: We saw this house, peeked in the (unoccupied) windows, fell in love with the possibilities. Found out in the morning it was sale pending :-( 8 weeks later, very late at night, surfing the listings with a realtor friend (not our agent), we stumble upon this house again, it had been re-listed just 40 minutes earlier!! Called my realtor, made an 8AM appt to view the house, and signed the offer papers within 10 minutes of walk-thru!
Jennifer Enslin says
Joss me!! Please ;)
Valerie says
JOSS ME! Our luckiest moment recently was on an exterior project. We have a decent amount of land and no trees, I know, NO TREES?! We were ready to shell out a small fortune for privacy and shade and randomly came across a local nursery. The owner was so sweet and gave us a ridiculous deal. Compared to the giant home improvement stores and over priced landscapers we were able to save enough and use it towards building a deck:) It’s also luck the trees are surviving this crazy hot weather on the Eastern Shore!
Susan says
Joss Me! I just purchased a Sears Pro dual fuel range. They run about $4000. I got the floor model for $2100 plus a 5-year wervice contract (no charge). Score!
Michelle says
Joss me! This site looks awesome!
Well, one lucky home improvement moment was scoring a white roman shade at a Country Curtains outlet. The lady gave it to me for free! Has been covering my master bath window for many years now….but almost time to be replaced.
Heather says
JOSS ME!!!! We found the home of our dreams!!! I was onChristmas break from grad school and my husband and I had a limited time to house hunt but we weren’t planning on finding our house!! We figured we would move back from NM to Louisiana and then find a house while renting!! Well, our current home is the dream home! It was on the market a week, ihas a very open floor plan, has wood floors throughout, real wood doors, tile kitchen counters, a redone master bath, textured walls throughout, and in our favorite neighborhood!! We had to have it and did I mention it was totally within our price range!!?? We feel so lucky
Stephanie Fontaine says
JOSS ME! After our honeymoon in Istanbul, I was very much inspired by Turkish culture and style. I scored the most beautiful vintage leather ottoman on ebay – I love it! & so does one of our cats, Eko, who calls it his nap spot :)
Diana says
Joss me! And thanks for the chance to win.

Kelly H says
Joss Me!
A lucky finding recently: I found an old frame in our attic that I can re-use for the 10×13 photo I just had taken of our newest child. (Our fourth boy) With boys coming out our ears, I need to save all the $ I can for food!

Lindsey says
JOSS ME!!
Our luckiest home moment was moving to a new city and visiting homes with a realtor; however, the house we ended up renting was found randomly by my husband on an iphone App! It was perfect!
Stacy says
JOSS ME!!
I just recently found the perfect rug for my dining room, on clearance at Pier 1 for $99. It was particularly impressive because the room is done in colors that are very hard to match.
Alicia says
JOSS ME!
We got this great matching secretarial desk and dresser set on Craigslist for super cheap because it was pretty beat up with stickers and all. My dad was in town and spend hours refinishing the set for us. It is so beautiful now and extra special because my dad put hours of love into it too!
Gina @ Temporary Nest says
JOSS ME!! My luckiest house moment was when my amazing boyfriend bought a house for us to share and live happily ever after in together. I’d say I’m a pretty lucky lady for that. <3

Joss Me! What an awesome giveaway!
My luckiest home improvement moment was marrying a man who likes to dig, and doesn’t blink when I say, “we can do it ourselves.”
kathryn says
JOSS ME! My husband and I are so lucky to have awesome and talented family who live close by to help us with any major projects we decide to tackle!

I got really lucky when I won this $500 Joss & Main shopping spree… Hey a girl can dream big right??
Kate says
JOSS ME!
I love good home deals! My favorite recent one (as in a few days ago) was four big matted matching frames for $12 at a consignment sale.
Jenny says
Joss Me…If I win this, this will be my luckiest moment! Did I jinx myself?
Rachel says
JOSS ME!
Our landlord is very low key. We’re able to paint freely and make small changes- stuff like that. Much better than strict landlords!
Kimberly says
JOSS ME!
Our luckiest moment is having all of our furniture given to us as we’ve needed it or right before we’ve had to buy it ourselves. The only things we’ve purchased in our 3 bed house is a bookshelf, cubby shelf, and computer desk!
Anne-Marie Cain says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest moment was scoring a HUGE, beautiful antique armoire for a fraction of what it should have sold for! I admire it every single day! :)
