[Lifestyle] OM Cove Living Collection Knightsbridge N.O 2 Sofa

    Okok..i know...this post came really really late...was supposed to post this article on the very same day when i got the prize.. but was simply too lazy (XD no la..was mainly because lots of things to do.. my work and lots of arranging and spring cleaning for the cny.) Yes..another one week plus or so..cny will be here..gosh..can't believe time flies that fast.

   When i first received the email from Mediacorp last year December, i have to admit that at first i was pretty shocked, surprised and then i thought this can't be true.. it must be a scam or spam mail. Then i calmed myself down and read the email all over and over again and realised that its true. I have won an designer sofa from participating in a promotion from Style:Living magazine in March 2012!

  After i got over my excitement and shock, i immediately went online and google for the photo and this is what it looks like on the web. I have to say that it look really classic and elegant but kind of big as an armchair. ( Thats what the lady from Mediacorp said in the email, an armchair)


   So i went ahead, contacted the furniture company and arranged for the delivery. (Had to paid $80 for the delivery) It arrived early than the arranged timing of 2-6pm..(Which is good of course) When it arrived, i was about to leave home soon to go to work but was really excited. However, its more like a sofa rather than an armchair..and the size is pretty huge.. @_@ (Not quite what i expected from the photo online)

 
    Besides being bigger and longer than the photo, its much taller too in terms of the height. Well, apparently it doesn't goes well at all with my run down small 3-room HDB. =P As my living room is long in terms of layout structure and with 2 working office tables, 2 antique armchairs, 1 rectangle wooden coffee table and 2 small wooden side tables, working out a good layout wasn't an easy task at all. Thus, i decided to leave this "wonderful" task to my mum and sis. =P ( As that day i had to go for an makeover assignment. But in the end i did ended up helping with the layout though.. =_=)
 
 
 
   After much arranging and debating and so on, in the end i made an ultimate sacrifice by deciding to throw away my working desk which i had for a good 10 years or so. (Was a really tough call to make as it was still in a pretty good condition, braving through storms with me XD during my school days, offering me a place to study and did my homework etc) =(  Nevertheless, an decision has to be made and someone has to make a sacrifice. (Though now i'm still trying to get use to work without a proper desk). Though this sofa may be huge and doesn't goes well with my living room, but what i really like about it is the simple, sleek and curvy lines. Minimalistic yet elegant.
 

  Made of fabric cushioning ( Yes, meaning it can't be removed and wash, thus i have to be really careful and not eating or drinking on it) the comfort wise i would say it average. Neither its hard or too soft..( Even Rilakk is enjoying himself on the new sofa XD Hey! but no eating on the sofa ok?)


  Perharps more good for lying down though? ;) haven't try that out myself, perharps i should..  XD

PS: This sofa by the way is worth $730 @_@ Now you know why no eating and drinking on it!


 Thats all for today and may everyone have a great day ahead! ^_^
