Dream comes true! Can you feel my excitement?

What does a home mean if there is no sofa, right? So ya, we need a sofa, but it wasn’t in the priority list and we didn’t plan to spend too much in it.

We kept on hunting by looking around local furniture shop. But even the-most-basic-with-ugly-fabric two or three seat couch costed RM600. A rather decent one was RM1000 above. I even searched online classified ads, but a second hand sofa is out of our budget too. Ugh, dream killer.

Not giving up, hubby and I searched on IKEA site and found the two-seat Klobo {link here} at RM349 is the lowest-rate in the market. We love the minimalist design too. Despite the low rate, We still wait for the right time to purchase.

On a side note, I have a tendency to search on Mudah – an online marketplace in Malaysia {link here} for preloved/second hand IKEA stuffs.

Guess what, early this week someone posted a three-months-old Klobo for sale at RM250 in Mudah! Cut the story short, we got the Klobo from a friendly European couple. After disassemble, it fitted perfectly in xiao-bai a.k.a our sedan.

Looking just like a brand new couch. What’s missing is props, like cushions and frames on the wall behind it (where I added dot dot dot on the above pic ). We don’t plan to add a slipcover. A red throw will do the job.

Lesson of the day: if you want to purchase something but on tight budget, keep your eye closely on online marketplace / forum / local 2nd hand shop (if any).
