Omega19x: *and so Ryou and Malik go to Pier Two Imports!*
ph33r my rod: (( XD ))
Omega19x: *to look at furniture, and to redeem their prizes*
Omega19x: *pier two imports, the official store of the Astounding Race*
Omega19x: "... Come on, Malik. Let's get some things for the new house!" *excitedly heads for the store entrance
ph33r my rod: "Okay~" *grins and follows!*
Omega19x: *walks in, and immediately sees this lovely French armoire*

ph33r my rod: "Oooh... that's really nice-looking, huh?"
Omega19x: *opens it* "it would be a nice place for your tv... and... and then we could close it off, and not have to look at it... when we don't want to."
ph33r my rod: *nodnod!*
Omega19x: "And we're allowed one item from each country."
ph33r my rod: "So that'll be..." *goes through countries in head* "Nine different things."
Omega19x: "... Do you see anything that... jumps out at you, Malik?"
ph33r my rod: *looks around*
Omega19x: *wanders around*
Omega19x: *and spots a pair of chairs from Russia. It looks like they come in a set*
Omega19x: http://www.hermitage-antiques.co.uk/images/antiques/PI C_0286_1.JPG
ph33r my rod: "Hey, those are pretty cool..."
ph33r my rod: *something catches his eye; it's a large couch, apparently from Canada* "Hey, check this out~"
ph33r my rod: http://s7ondemand5.scene7.com/is/image/FurnitureFind/BI 0000010748?$large$
Omega19x: "wow... if we got a couch like that... maybe we shouldn't get the chairs... That has more than enough sitting space for our entire living room!"
Omega19x: "It looks more comfortable than the chairs anyway."
ph33r my rod: *nodnod* "Yeah. Those chairs are pretty nice, but if we can get a big couch like that, then we'll still be able to get something different~"
Omega19x: "That... that would take up a big part of the room too... So we can... um... design around that? Our living room will be a big place to sit!"
ph33r my rod: "Well, it comes in three seperate pieces, so if we need more room we can just take one of them off and put it elsewhere."
Omega19x: "That'll work great!"
Omega19x: *spots something cool*
Omega19x: "Oh, this is just what we need for a small kitchen!"
Omega19x: http://www.scottishfurnituremakers.org.uk/images/upload s/a20050523105009.jpg
Omega19x: (give you three guesses to tell what country it's from, and the first two don't count)
ph33r my rod: "Oooh, yeah, that'll be great." *grins* "Cooking space, and we could probably sit and eat at it, too."
Omega19x: "... well, we'll get one without a little sink. But it will have lots of storage space. And it will make a nice bar-sized table."
ph33r my rod: *nods* "'Cause the kitchen has a sink anyway."
Omega19x: "since the kitchen in our new home is smaller than Isis,' it will help if we can save space."
ph33r my rod: "Yep. So that's three things so far..." *looks around*
Omega19x: *nodnod*
Omega19x: *looks around for something else from Russia that will be better than those chairs*
ph33r my rod: (( brb ))
Omega19x: (k)
ph33r my rod: (( Hm. Greek furniture is surprisingly hard to find :D ))
Omega19x: "Oh, these are neat!"
Omega19x: http://www.hermitage-antiques.co.uk/stockdetails.asp?id =287&categoryid=2&PageNo=&order=
ph33r my rod: *blinks* "...what are they?"
Omega19x: "They're little tables. I figure they'd look good on either end of the couch... for drinks or... or books... or plates of cream puffs..."
ph33r my rod: "Ohhh. Yeah, those are pretty neat... and they would look pretty good with the couch~"
Omega19x: "I think so."
Omega19x: "they're small, but we need small."
ph33r my rod: "Where are those from?"
Omega19x: "Russia."
Omega19x: "So we have a couch from Canada. An armoire from France, a kitchen table from Scotland, and... and endtables from Russia."
ph33r my rod: "So... something from five more countries."
ph33r my rod: "What else do you think we need?"
Omega19x: "... chairs around the kitchen table are a good idea."
ph33r my rod: *nods* *looks around for some of those*
ph33r my rod: "If we're gonne use that island thing as a table, then maybe some stools would be better..." *ponder*
Omega19x: "... oh, true..."
ph33r my rod: "Ooh. How about a few of these?" *points at some bar stools from Greece*
ph33r my rod: http://us.st11.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.com/I/yhst-4553010641 3662_1901_36600027
Omega19x: "Those would look pretty cool!
Omega19x: "
Omega19x: *smiles, and hops in one to test it out* "... and... and it's comfortable too... Not like barstools with... without a back."
ph33r my rod: "Yeah. Those are kinda hard to sit up in..." *sits in another*
Omega19x: "These will be perfect... and we can adjust the height if we need to."
Omega19x: "... hm... you know what we need in that second bedroom? We... we need a... a day bed... Something that could be a small couch or a bed."
ph33r my rod: *nods* "That'd probably be a good thing, yeah."
Omega19x: "I'll look for a little desk, so that we can kind of use that... that room as a little study if we want."
Omega19x: *and Ryou soon finds one from Australia*
Omega19x: http://naturallyaust.sitesuite.com.au/images/tony_kenway _05_lg.jpg
ph33r my rod: "Ooooh. That's nice-looking."
Omega19x: "And it won't take up too much space either."
ph33r my rod: *nodnod*
Omega19x: "...hm... that just leaves something from... Egypt, the Netherlands... and Antarctica."
Omega19x: "... if that last one counts..."
ph33r my rod: "Hm..." *sees something* "...what about a down comforter for the bed? It'd be nice and warm in the winter..." *walks over to one* "This one says it's stuffed with penguin down... you think that counts?"
ph33r my rod: http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B000EOREB0.01-A1U H6M6FXAXOCD._SS500_SCLZZZZZZZ_V1140481533_.jpg
ph33r my rod: (( *totally just BSing it with that one* 8D; ))
Omega19x: (rofl. I'll take it!)
ph33r my rod: (( 'Cause seriously, that's all I could think of that could possibly come from there. XD ))
Omega19x: "and it's purple... like the shirt you wore when I first met you!"
ph33r my rod: *nodnod!*
Omega19x: "I like it."
Omega19x: "And it looks really warm."
ph33r my rod: "It does. Should we get it?"
Omega19x: "okay."
ph33r my rod: *grins* "So... two more things. Egypt and Netherlands."
Omega19x: "I think I found something Dutch..."
Omega19x: "We need lighting... So we can get a set of... of these hanging lamps... That will sve on space, and give us some neat light."
Omega19x: http://themagazine.info/56/Pictures/Cappellini/PO0126_1 27Three.jpg
ph33r my rod: "Oooh, yeah. Those'll be cool."
Omega19x: "and they're... I think they're called 'neo modern' or something... They're supposed to be all the rage?"
Omega19x: "I just think it'll make nice lighting for our bedroom... almost like... mood lighting."
ph33r my rod: *nodnod* "They are pretty neat-looking."
Omega19x: "hm, you know Egyptian stuff better than anyone... You should pick out something from Egypt."
ph33r my rod: *nods and looks around* "What else do you think we'll need? Maybe a coffee table or something?"
Omega19x: (oh darn, Isis is keeping her's?)
ph33r my rod: (( Yeah XD ))
Omega19x: (snicker)
ph33r my rod: "Oooh. How about this? It's simple, but it looks cool..."
ph33r my rod: http://a1egypt.egyptgiftshops.com/images/wrought_iron/ic of7.jpg
Omega19x: "That looks pretty!"
Omega19x: "And it is pretty small."
ph33r my rod: "So it should work with the sofa..."
Omega19x: "I hope so. If the sofa's too big, we can put some extra parts at the foot of the bed."
ph33r my rod: *nodnod* "So I guess that's everything, then."
Omega19x: "I think so!"
ph33r my rod: *grins* "All of this stuff will go great in our house, don't you think?"
Omega19x: "So... according to the directions, I... I think we list everything we've picked out, and then the address we need it shipped to."
Omega19x: *smiles* "I do think so!" *kisses Malik gently on the nose*
ph33r my rod: *laughs* "Yeah. Delivery ought to take a couple of days, so we'll have some time to get everything settled with the house and stuff."
Omega19x: "I think so."
Omega19x: *smiles* "isn't this exciting?"
ph33r my rod: *nodnod* "It is~ I can't wait to get settled in."
Omega19x: "Me either!"
Omega19x: "hm... oh, what about that day bed?"
ph33r my rod: *blink* "...oh yeah. Uhh..."
Omega19x: "We need to get one."
Omega19x: "So.. so if my yami came over, he'd have a bed to sleep in... Or... or if Isis came over... or... um... Anyone, really."
Omega19x: "...hmm... maybe we need one of those more than we do a coffee table..."
ph33r my rod: *nods* "Probably. We can always go back and buy one of those later."
Omega19x: *nodnod* "and we'll have the little end tables to use until then."
ph33r my rod: (( Not having any luck on finding Egyptian beds. XD All I'm getting is head and foot things... ))
ph33r my rod: (( >>; Yeah, headboards and Egyptian cotton sheets are all I'm seeing there :\ ))
Omega19x: (I'm looking too...)
Omega19x: "... well... we could order something like in this picture..."
Omega19x: http://www.biblepicturegallery.com/Samples/la/world/dw elling/furnture/Egyptian%20bed%20Beds%20were%20u sed%20only%20by%20the%20very%20rich.gif
Omega19x: "... it's made to look like the kinds of beds they had in ancient Egypt."
ph33r my rod: *nods* "Yeah, that'd work."
Omega19x: "It'd be a... conversation piece, for sure..."
ph33r my rod: "Uh huh. So now that's got to be everything then, I guess~" *squee*
Omega19x: "Yup!" *smiles*
Omega19x: *hugs Malik*
ph33r my rod: *huuuug*
Omega19x: (I'll let you do the wonderful coding of all the items we bought, so that there will be pictures in your next entry... I'm too sleepy to img src="blahblahblah" right now.
ph33r my rod: (( XD Kay~ Go to sleeeep. ))
Omega19x: (nightnight)
