• Search for terms in the home page search bar before going into furniture or collectible pages. This is particularly handy if you're just browsing for a particular style rather than a specific object. Going into the individual pages may mean you'll miss out on some things — there are plenty of great items that people have listed in the "Garden," "General" and "Free" sections.• Don't necessarily dismiss items because of bad photos — it doesn't mean the item isn't awesome.• Try several different words to find what your looking for. Many people use different descriptions. Your dream sideboard could also be a credenza or a buffet.• Try several variations of the words you're searching with. Include and exclude spaces, dashes and other punctuation marks. For example: "midcentury," "mid-century" and "mid century."

3. Hang art on your bookcase. A single framed work hung on a bookcase suddenly gives the entire room a new layer of sophistication, and it's easier to get right than you might think. Hold up potential prints, paintings or photographs to get a feel for the size that works best — there is no hard and fast rule, so go with what looks right to you. Most frames will look best when hung about two-thirds of the way up the bookcase, though with smaller pieces you might have more leeway.

Gliksman offers the following tips for shopping on Craigslist: 1. Play around with the keywords. "Sometimes I would look up an actual item, like 'cabinet' or 'dining chair.' But sometimes I would look up different phrases, like 'left from a remodel.' That's how I found some really good stuff," she says. 2. Give yourself plenty of lead time. She started sourcing items little by little before the start of the conversion. 3. Gauge the seller's trustworthiness through correspondence. You can usually get a feel for sellers' reliability through emails and phone calls. How prompt are they in responding to your requests? How much detail do they provide? Do they give information willingly?
