10. Expand Your (Search) Horizons to Snag a Deal

Older items can add character to a room—and if you’re willing to do some digging online, you can snag a serious deal. Dana Dubiny-Dore of Adored House knows this firsthand: She’s also big on scouring Facebook Marketplace for used furniture she can upcycle, like the rustic coffee table above. Her best deal? A solid-wood cupboard for $50. Her secret? “Marketplace allows you to search within a certain mile radius from a set location. I have my radius set at about 15 miles normally, just to see what the newly listed items in my area are, but when I’m searching for a specific type of piece, I will expand the search radius as far as it goes (100 miles),” she explains.
