""I had to find a renter-friendly way to build a wall to separate out my room. I was also on a budget so I couldn't afford a true temporary wall so the bookshelves were the best solution.""
""I am a very impatient person so I stayed up all night to build them and anchor them to the wall. I then made a trip to The Home Depot to buy massive particle boards that I cut down with a circular saw.""
Matilde Cascella moved into a 450-square-foot studio in Greenwich Village that felt like one large room. Despite its dated appearance, she appreciated the view, natural light, and potential of the space. Without major renovations, she made reversible updates, including peel-and-stick tiles in the kitchen. To create a bedroom, she used four BILLY bookcases as a renter-friendly wall solution. Although she faced challenges during installation, including a taskrabbit quitting, she persevered to complete the project herself.
