Nozawa, of Noz As A Service, had the shelves set on wooden blocks, then installed a piece of plywood molding around the bottom to make the bookcase appear built in. “It cost less than $300 and took about a day’s work,” she says. “It fits with my philosophy of using what is already out there, if you can. By getting the pieces on Craigslist, I didn’t have to assemble them, and I didn’t have to deal with the packing material. All I had to do was rent a van and carry them up three flights of stairs.”Nozawa added an original midcentury chair, but not before giving it her touch. When she discovered it on Craigslist for $100, it had a striped upholstery that didn’t fit her style. As can happen, after reupholstering the chair and refinishing the wood, she had spent $1,000 more. It’s the bane of many who love a good furniture find. Nozawa reasons it this way: “If you find something you love, and it has a junk price tag, you are more willing to add your touch to it or take risks with the piece.”The long dresser that stretches along the back of the headboard is also a vintage piece. In addition to providing storage, it helps separate and define the spaces.
