Furiture / Home Decorating! Help!Follow

Ok, before I go back to my movie, I thought I'd ask for some help.

Is there any way I can know what a piece of furniture looks like without having to buy it and place it? Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but the pictures when examined don't always reflect how they appear in game. (ex. Bookcase bought off Inkeep in Freeport - looks pretty much like a table! Where are the shelves like in the picture!?)

Books! I've been in a house that had stacks of books on a table! Where can I purchase / quest for these!?

I don't have much money (down to only 2gp) and I'm getting rather angry with myself for making so many bad purchases. I want a spiffy house not a ghetto house! And believe me, right now, it's looking pretty darn ghetto!

Also! Where can I purchase some lighting for my home? The chandeliers are too high up and don't exactly shed much light (if they shed any at all!). I've been in one house that had what appeared to be small torches lining the entire place. Where can I find something like this? Normal torches cannot be placed.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! And /shimmy to anyone who can find a darn bookcase that actually looks like a darn bookcase!

/bumpie!

I think most artisans can make "tin sconce" at level 9. (Not sure of the level, can't check lol) That is probably what they are using for light. I've made a few of them, but sold not put in room.
