Our luckiest moment was selling our house last year and the one we wanted was still available!
Suzi says
JOSS ME! PLEASE! I love this site and check it daily :) We got super lucky when we bought our house. We loved it the second we saw it, made an offer, and were outbid by other buyers. Just when we started to give up on this little house, the other buyers pulled out and it was ours!
erin says
JOSS ME! I found a patch of raspberry bushes coming up behind a shed in the house we just bought!

Jenna says
JOSS ME!
They have great items! I would love to win! My luckiest find so far has been finding our AWESOME and incredibly comfy chair and a half. It was marked down to a HUGE discount, the only one in the shop…everyone who comes to our house loves to sit in it. It’s my favorite place to curl up!

Christy Lynn says
JOSS ME!
My husband and I just bought our first home! The market isn’t so hot here and we were beginning to think our price range might leave a lot to the imagination. Suddenly we stumbled across a beauty and its soon to be all ours! You guys are a huge inspiration to us and we can’t wait to get on the DIY ball!
Micha says
Joss MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Sarah Ehret says
Joss me! My luckiest house moment was when we bought our house the day before it was to go up on the market, at a much reduced price(because there was no realtor fee:))
Ivy Hofstetter says
Joss me! My husband and I were very lucky in the fact that we inherited some really great 1960’s Ethan Allen furniture. Instant sitting room. Yes!

Jenny says
JOSS ME!
I was pretty lucky when I inherited my grandparents’ dining set and a china cabinet…now to get up the nerve to redo the cherry veneer top…
karina says
JOSS ME – No, I still haven’t found the house of our dreams yet. This is my third house so far. Two ranch styles in Florida, and one Victorian row house in Pittsburgh. The current house where I am living is going to be for 2 or 3 years, until we sell our house in Florida (yes, I’m carrying two mortgages). My dream house is a craftman style house with 4 bedrooms 2 1/2 bathrooms. Probably two story. Front porch and back porch in a beautiful area. I do not ask for more.
Amanda says
JOSS ME!
I think my luckiest find was a vacuum that normally retails for around 1,500. I had been wanting one for ages but couldn’t justify spending that much. I finally found one in great condition, with all the attachments, for $20. at a yard sale. score!
Cassie says
JOSS ME!
I had a friend get carpet and she gifted me her awesome living room rug! Awesome score :)
Misty says
JOSS ME!
Mona says
JOSS ME!
My moment was this past weekend when I painted our foyer ceiling a warm gold (which was looking “scary mustard” to be honest with ya) then I layered on some gold glaze over the top of it & it absolutely looked like sunshine. It’s gorgeous and the hubby loves it too.
Sarah says
JOSS ME!! I loved finding the long sought after West Elm Modern Farmhouse Table on criagslist for $400 cheaper than original retail!
KAMI says
joss me!
Tammy says
JOSS ME!
Our luckiest house score was a very cute rug (from Anthropologie) that I scored on craigsllist; or maybe it was the teak patio furniture we got off of craigslist; or maybe it’s the nice sectional we got from, yup, craigslist…
Sarah says
JOSS ME! My luckiest home related moment came when I found the beautiful apartment I’m currently renting (I’m in Richmond too!). It’s in the best part of Church Hill, right on Libby HIll park, historic but renovated, and amazingly inexpensive!
Allison @ House of Hepworths says

JOSS ME!
After a year of house hunting, my husband and I bought our dream house in our dream neighborhood as it became a foreclosure. We went to the courthouse, bid against the bank and bought the house for $1000 over their last bid!

Most lucky household item…id have to say my hubby ;) I hope that counts
Shawn says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest home improvement moment was moving in with college roommates that had some amazing furniture from their parents that our apartment got to “inherit” while we all lived there. We had the coolest blue velvet couch and since it was our first time on our own, it was so much fun.
Sandra says
Joss Me!!

Katharine says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest home improvement moment was stumbling into a great relationship with a boyfriend who likes helping me in my quest to take my childhood home from good to great! :)
(Before that, it was scoring a fully Pottery Barn-esque slipcovered sofa in the perfect shade of green for $400 at Grand Warehouse in Roanoke, VA.)
catherine says
joss me!

My luckiest moment was finding a seller on Craigslist who did not realize the actual value of Schoolhouse Electric lighting and still sold it to me at her original asking price when I told her the real value. Yeah for nice people!

Dani Yardley says
Joss Me!! We traveled to a different state to find a house in one weekend. We got our dream house 3 days after it had been on the market. Our realtor didn’t even know it was there. We happened upon it. Talk about Joss, eh?!
Sally says
Joss Me! I was dropping the kids off at school one day, turned up the street, and there I saw it! My dream house was for sale! I called my husband, we grabbed the kids out of school, and met the real estate lady. The sign had gone up on Sunday afternoon; we saw the house on Monday morning and bought it, right there, immediately. Its been 10 years now, and we all love this great Victorian house.
Alanna says

My luckiest home decor score was finding two skinny bedside tables that actually fit on both sides of our bed in our not-so-roomy master. I found them right after I had given up on finding anything that would work….and I found them on 75% off CLEARANCE!!!
Megan says
JOSS ME!! My luckiest moment in home ownership is probably actually buying it, we were not exactly in the prime position to buy but could not have been luckier.
Katie A says

JOSS ME!
My luckiest house-moment was a true lemons to lemonade moment. When my husband and I moved from NY to FL, the movers scratched the heck out of our kitchen table (the top looks like Wolverine took a few swipes at it). However, I was able to salvage the legs and make an adorable shutter-top console table (http://ana-white.com/2011/06/shutter-entry-table) for our front hallway!
p.s. I am OBSESSED with Joss & Main!!
Morgan says
JOSS ME! I This is such a great giveaway!

Hoping for some good luck very soon…our house is on the market and we’re waiting to hear from the bank on buying a short sale!
Nico says
JOSS ME! WOOT! Our luckiest moment was when we were able to move back into the apartment above my Dad when $$ got tight after our first born. We are now trying to slowly update and paint the apartment, making it more of our own. :)
Amy S says
Joss Me!!! (please)
My luckiest moment was when we helped my sister-in-law move and she didn’t have room for this fabulous cedar chest. She didn’t have room…so we moved it on over to our place!
Nick Klaus says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest moment was in discovering this apartment in the first place. I came across it on accident, and was thrilled to discover it was a mere one block from my office.
A close second was finding my arc lamp on Craigslist: almost 400 off the retail price.
Elaine says
Joss Me!
I’m pretty lucky to be living in the house I grew up in. I’m slowly taking it from my mother’s style to mine.
