JOSS ME!
I feel so lucky/blessed to have an artist for a grandfather and mother. I don’t have to look long in their stashes to find some really nice and original art for any spot in my house!
Stefanie says
JOSS ME!
Our lucky moment? Literally the first house we ever looked at ended up being the one we bought. We weren’t 100% sure about it when we saw it and proceeded to look at approximately 53054 other houses (okay, that might be a slight exaggeration) before deciding that our first was true love… and luckily enough, it was still available!
Mary Fitzgerald says
Joss me!!! I’m a lucky gal bc I happened to marry a man who painted with a pro company for $$ in college (& still does it on the side for extra $$ now). Our house is decked out in fabulous paint!
Anna says
Joss me!
Haven’t had many insanely lucky moments yet, but we are moving to a fabulous apartment that is directly across the street from my new school (it’s only quadruple what we’re paying now in a much cheaper locale, eek!)
Julie says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest home improvement moment was marrying my husband. Since getting married he’s discovered his inner carpenter!
Desirae Dahn says
JOSS ME!!!
This would help us put the finishing touches on several rooms in our house! Our luckiest moment: when we were finally able to convert our spare (junk) bedroom into a playroom thanks to some great hand-me-down furniture! It’s now my whole family’s favorite room!
Christina C says
JOSS ME!
Our luckiest moment was when our neighbors gave us two bookcases that were the PERFECT size we were looking for and couldn’t find anywhere. They were free and all we had to do was repaint them. Score!
Katie Lott says
Joss Me! Luck, luck, luck… I’ve been waiting for some lately. I am pretty lucky to have a fantastic husband and 3 great boys, that makes me one lucky mama!
Todd says
JOSS ME!
Luckiest moment was finally getting the crown molding level on our uneven ceilings!
darah says
JOSS ME!!
My luckiest find was a solid butcher block table for $5. I sanded it down and have used it over the past 12 years in almost every room – now it’s my potting bench on the back porch!
Caitlin says
JOSS ME!!!
I just successfully sewed my first curtain! My fiancé and I are a “young house love” in the making!!!
Melissa says
JOSS ME!
Our lucky moment was when my husband & Dad were cutting down our dead tree, and a man happened to drive down our quiet street asking if they needed help removing the stump. He did it for super cheap! Perfect timing!
Jenn Hannifan Diekmann says
JOSS ME!
My greatest home improvement moment has been scoring beautiful, old windows out of a historic mansion in C.S., Colorado… for a low price!
Britny W says
JOSS ME!!!!
Sydney says
JOSS ME!
My luckiest moment was finding my house in time for the tax credit. The owner originally declined the showing, and I was only in Texas for one more day before I flew back to the east coast house-less. We did a drive-by anyway, and my realtor convinced the owner to give us a evening showing. I signed the offer the next morning on my way to the airport, and I didn’t see the house again until I owned it – and I still love it!
Sara says
Joss Me!
I’m hoping this will lead to my luckiest home improvement moment!
Katherine R. says
Joss me! I bought a cute TV console table on sale at Target, only to flip through my Pottery Barn catalog and notice the same table (for hundreds more)! Great find.
Rachel Poulson says
Joss me!
LizO says
Joss me! Luckiest moment is being able to live in our amazing house.
Kelsey says
JOSS ME PUHLEASE!!!
Lucky- free dresser from old sorority sister. It has moved with me 7 times and is about to get a facelift (black to white). The thing is a rock… and was FREE!
Lia says
Joss me!! Our lucky house juju happened when we stumbled across our current home. This is actually our second home, but this was the first one I looked at in this city (Austin). And we instantly fell in love. It just felt like us.
And now after nearly six years, we are starting to decorate it the way we want, so this will be perfect! Thanks!
Jennifer says
Joss me! Loved getting two fab chairs for free from an office auction…they needed some new fabric and now look wonderful in our sunroom!
Ania says
JOSS ME!
marisa says
joss me!!! PLEASE!
Flo says
JOSS ME!
Honestly, I haven’t been too lucky, at least not lately. All of my bathrooms are falling apart (one is leaking, another is completely broken and the third one is on its last leg); haven’t been able to turn on the a/c in a couple of years because every time it’s on, one of the rooms ends up flooding (we’ve got a lovely stain on the hardwood floor and a couple of walls because of it); I have to manually get rid of the water in the washer because the spin cycle doesn’t work; and just today my garage door broke so I can no longer open it. But I’m planning on either moving to a better place or slowly fixing everything up, so hopefully I’ll start feeling lucky soon enough! (The thought alone makes me feel a little lucky. Does that count? Ha.)

JOSS MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Monica says
JOSS ME! Our luckiest home improvement was our retaining wall. Not only did the stones we had previously picked out go on random clearance the weekend we purchased them, but it turns out our next door neighbor does stonework for a living. He gave us TONS of tips and help during the project.
Kristin says
JOSS ME! My luckiest moment was finding a very comfy chair in the lobby at work with the word “FREE” written on it. (Still need to make a slipcover to hide the black sharpie.)
Heather Avery Whisenant says
JOSS ME!I lucky with a beautiful art deco china cabinet from my mother’s garage, she didn’t have any use for it. It is now my favorite piece of furniture.

My luckiest home improvement moment: getting everyone to work on the now blossoming garden!
Cory says
JOSS ME! I got very lucky by being able to purchase my home from a family member, saving realtor costs AND getting a steep discount on it. Not only that, but there is a secret safe inside the fireplace :) great old house with so much charm… and work to be done!
Kyla says
Joss me!
maribeth says
Joss Me!
my luckiest home improvement moment was meeting my man- such a handyman!
Ellen says
Joss Me Please!!!
Loving the ideas from this blog. Getting me thinking about all the improvements we could do to our great little house…we took my step mother to look at it when we first saw it and turns out she taught the owners in Med school…perfect Joss moment. Home purchase went off without a hitch. My husband even plays tennis with the previous owner now!
Liz says
Joss me!!!
We bought our home last year for half the price it sold for two years ago, thats luck!…this website has inspiredme to make it our own, one room at a time:)

Joss me! I got lucky when I found the silver Target Calypso pouf I’d beenstalking at a mid- renovation Target that no one was shopping at!
Ann Marie says
JOSS ME!
I love their site! I don’t have the best luck with home improvement projects, but I did fall in love with an arts & crafts chandy for the dining room once. When I went back to show the hubs, they were clearancing them out! We got the chandy, ceiling sconce, and pendant for the original cost of one item!
devon says
JOSS ME!!! My luckiest moment was when the pottery barn desk that I had been lusting after for years finally popped up on craigs list…right after receiving my tax refund. Score!!!
abriana says

Kristy says
JOSS ME!
I got lucky finding a great house within my budget.
Caroline says
JOSS ME!!!
My luckiest decor-moment happened in a Ballard Designs outlet when I found the exact painting that I’d been drooling over in their catalogs for more than a year — marked down from $350 to 75 dollars b/c of a virtually unnoticeable dent in the canvas… Score!!
Sarah Porterfield says
Joss me! Luckiest-buying our perfect house before it officially went on the market.
Erica says
JOSS ME!
We got lucky when we found our perfect house on the second day we went looking, and the seller accepted our offer right away. We’re closing on it in 3 days and so excited to get settled in!
