since i bought the macbook, and falie has gotten unifi installed, setting my my little SOHO in our room is only the natural decision. it's practically where we live most of the time. thing is though, the room has a lot of furniture :
a queen sized bed, a cot that has turned into arwen's daybed in the day and co-sleeper by night, a dressing table, a 3-door wardrobe, a cabinet storing mostly our unopened wedding gifts (that await a new home when or if we ever get one), two side tables which we've stacked on top of one another and store arwen's diapers, arwen's chest of drawers for all her clothes, a rack for more stuff, a trolly for arwen's milk-making stuff, a TV, a glass cabinet for ayis' collectibles like his collection of miniature katana, more samurai paraphernalia, gundam robots, little star wars whatevers, and also some Aliens. seriously. i didnt even wanna look at them when i was pregnant. we've got 2 carpets on either side of the bed, and more stuff under the bed, out of sight out of mind.
yes, our room is pretty 'semak'. but it's cozy, i like it. i dont mind a little makeover however like having lesser shit in the mix, but i think i'd save all that trouble for our hypothetical home.
after a few days working on the bed (i know it's bad), and sometimes, working on arwen's little knee-high table, i set up my work area on our dressing table. after hitting my head a few times against the wall for not coming up with the idea sooner. and it's nice, coz i can still watch the TV from the reflection on the dressing table's mirror.
unfortunately though, i do not have a nice and comfortable chair for my work area. so right now i'm using a one seater sofa that my mom was gonna throw away. it's comfortable, yes. but it's too heavy and bulky and doesnt have the right height. so my arms are opened like buffalo wings whenever i'm doing my work. it's straining. and having fat-weighted wings doesnt help much.
so i went to cavenzi looking for a pretty yet cheap option for a side chair. found one. it's covered with black velvet and engraved with greyish damask design. i love it. however, it costs RM300. for one chair. that's ridiculous, man. i went to cavenzi coz i thought it'd be cheap. so the search continues. i browsed through ikea catalog and didnt find one that i like.
now, next item in my wishlist, im looking for something like the famous Kartell Louis Ghost Armchair. i saw some a few months ago, used as decor in a restaurant at Wangsawalk Mall. yes yo! like for actual people to sit on and dine and have kids jump up and down on. i almost cried when my kid did that. so i figured, there must be a cheap replica of that chair, right?

entrez-openhouse the closest i could find was at
homelife, and they brand it as Angel Chair. but heck man, it's going at RM700 for one. that's much too much for me.
although the black one makes me REALLY want to have it, regardless the crazy price tag.
mind blowing, right?
always have a thing for black and white. so, internet, if you have any idea where i could get a lookalike for a fraction of the price, please let me know. thanks.
